sorry you had a headache.....
good job not leaving Mom in the store....(glad your husband "caved" )
gettin' closer!!!! I can't wait to read your TR, and you haven't even been on your trip yet 
...and I KNOW you CAN ride ROTM! 
I remember all the rain you got earlier this year, and the ac breaking, the tickets, it just seemed like a lot. Here's hopin' you get something for those tickets. 
Have a fun weekend too! 
I think (besides Gemma), you're the 'baby' of the bunch...you can pout about being older, but you're still a young 'un to all of us....enjoy it!
why did I think you was teachin? Where'd that come from? Blonde thing.......
OMG....you're kidding right? I couldn't eat that much if someone held a gun to my head.
) Will post it when he's done! 
And Jodie...PRELL??? Uh...no! That and Pert are the absolute two worst shampoos you can use on your hair. In the industry, we have a joke that "Pert" and "Prell" are good for cleaning floors....What's that tell you?? Tell Mike to switch shampoos, or one day he may not have to worry about shampooing anything at all. Prell (& it's evil cousin Pert) basically have really harsh agents/ingredients in them that strip hair ....and color....which is probably why Jodie was lookin' to use it after color..it just helps to strip the loose color particles from the hair, lightening it a bit. And Jodie, if you're coloring your hair, you need a moisturizing shampoo and leave in conditioner.
How come when I try it at home I end up with a pouffy mess thats all frizzy?
Thanks for the info on Prell. I did not realize it was that strong. I pay an arm and a leg to have my hair foiled, I sure don't want to strip that color out!
Can I ask for some hair advice?
I usually dry my thick curly/wavy hair with a diffuser, but when I go to my stylist he likes to use the regular blow dryer and a brush and straighten it out a bit.
Each individual hair comes out looking all small and shiney.
Tricia....

(not recently....a loooong time ago!)
Okay, so by now you have probably figured out my profession
Your stylist is probably putting a styling product in your hair before she is drying it....some kind of "defrizzing" product AND a mousse or gel or something like that. With thick curly/wavy hair, you tend to get the frizzies (because most natural wavy/curly hair is coarse), but add that you color, and it makes it worse. You need to use a moisturizing shampoo (professional is best, but if you MUST OTC, Nexxus is now OTC and try the Tresseme...I'm not real familiar with too many OTC brands because I stick to the professional stuff), leave in conditioner (for moisture, protection from heat of dryer and "weight" to keep the flyaways down), defrizzing agent and styling product (to keep the hairs "together" since coarse hair tends to fly all over the place and not stay "together"). I know it seems like a lot, but I can almost guarantee it's what your stylist is using. All you have to do is ask her what she is using (they most likely sell the same stuff they use)...I'm surprised she isn't trying to "sell" it to you by using and explaining it all to you. Hope that helps clear things up a bit for you.
Think I'll just stick with curly!
He's already selling me all that stuff. I use either matrix curl.life or biolage. It's got to be something in the way he dries it. Experience I guess! I love the way he cuts my hair, but its like he does'nt want to give out the secrets of making it look good.
....it's odd he doesn't "help" you make it look as good....that's just dumb imho .....can't understand why he wouldn't "show" you how to wear it like you like it best? ???

That was called "Body On Tap".
LOL...That stuff DID smell terrific.ah....you show your age...yes, I remember them and yes, i even used one of 'em
