Should I use powder on my hair?

Btw, I have sensitive skin.

Thanks :D]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1800/need-the-advice-of-a-hair-professional-whom-works-with-color. Mon, 20 Dec 2010 01:40:34 -0500 JamiSings 1800@/bbforum/discussions Now keep in mind my mom is a retired beautiction - however she did work in the 50s and 60s. She's also the cause of my problem.
I took over coloring my hair and like to experiment with different shades of blonde. No matter what the shade I always do my roots a slightly darker shade then the rest. To me this looks natural - roots come out dark and hair gets sunbleached. For the roots I will sometimes use medium, medium ash, champange, or natural blonde. For the lighter part I'll use either extra light ash, ultra light ash, or extra light natural blonde.
Since I started doing this I get a LOT of compliments - even from men! People will tell me at work "Your hair doesn't look as brassy anymore" or "your new color is so beautiful."
I also read in Charla Krupp's book on how to not look fat that you should do darker roots with lighter highlights to make your face look thinner.
However, mom HATES my new way of doing my hair. She insists that my eyes "don't sparkle anymore", that my hair "looks green", and that I should either do it all ultra light ash (like she used to) or actually do my roots lighter and do the rest darker! Which I think looks about as stupid as blonde hair with black eyebrows. When I brought up Mrs. Krupp's book she said "I never heard of her" and that "She must've got her degree from a box of Cracker Jacks." This from a woman who watches What Not To Wear - which I think is a stupid show. (I'm sorry, but Clinton and Stacy can barely dress themselves. Him with his sloppy untucked shirt under a vest and her wearing green when it makes her look like she's going into liver failure.)
Mom will drop the subject for a couple of months, then suddenly bring it up again. This last time, for instance, I did my roots extra light natural blonde and the rest ultra light ash blonde - both lighter colors, but the natural is slightly darker then the ash. She started in on me while we were on a brief vacation. (The Glenn Miller Orchestra was up in Palm Springs and I've always wanted to see them.) Kept telling me how horrible I looked. Really laying the verbal abuse on. 
I know for a fact that mom won't listen to you folks either - she still won't believe that mouse I use is not as drying as she thinks it is for instance - but if I could have double reassurance that I'm doing this the right way - not just from Mrs. Krupp's book but also from someone whom works with hair and color - then it gives me a bit of mental armor against her tirades.
Please don't get the idea that my mom is some sort of horrible person. She can be very loving and supportive. However she thinks just because she's almost 70 that she's always right. Especially when she's wrong. And I'm at the point where I'm ready to shave my head and start wearing wigs.]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1789/keratin Thu, 09 Dec 2010 23:26:54 -0500 veronicavega 1789@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1782/scrunching-hair...

Right now I'm using Pantene Curly Series: Pantene Pro-V Curl Shaping Gel. It smells great and I love it, but people tell me gel is bad for hair over time.
Idk, just curious and I wanna make sure. :P]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1759/formaldehyde-and-methylene-glycol Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:24:08 -0500 daver12345 1759@/bbforum/discussions --How does Formaldehyde work on the hair?

I know a lot of friends and relatives with the same problem. The hair line looks fried, puffy, and frizzy, while it looks healthier all over. I don't dye my hair, no perm, no straightening, no chemicals, no blow drying what so ever. I condition every time I shower. Could it be physical damage from wearing tight shawls and bandanas on my hair?]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1665/volume-powder-for-hair Fri, 20 Aug 2010 09:31:18 -0400 Lena Karlsson 1665@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1664/screaming Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:21:28 -0400 duo 1664@/bbforum/discussions next week I will have a dating ,I just buy a evening dress,which color ? any advice?msn:yuemei1988@hotmail.com]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1621/my-hair-is-greasy-but-dry-at-the-same-time-i-dont-know-what-to-do Tue, 20 Jul 2010 13:10:19 -0400 lilly12 1621@/bbforum/discussions I have to condition my hair every shower because it will get very very very dry if I don't and when I do condition then my hair will get so greasy that it will still look wet when it's dry and if you touch it it feels really weird like it's dry but more disgusting, even if my hair does turn out normal it will get greasy within 1 hour.

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 12:07:02 -0500 JamiSings 1171@/bbforum/discussions Let me tell you, they SUCK! My hair, which was unhealthy looking to begin with - I don't know if it's overprocessed or because I have PCOS (apparently receding hair is one of the symptoms) or both - is even more unhealthy looking. It doesn't keep a style. It's super fly away. Basically it looks awful. Even though I can't style my hair in anything other then a topsy tail and always do wash-and-wear, my hair looked way better when I was using Pantene or Dove products. Heck, even Sauve gave me better results.
Soon as this stuff is used up, I'm switching back. Bring on the silicones and sulfates, because my hair looked SO much better then!]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1530/hot-oil-treatment Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:34:56 -0400 alohagirl675 1530@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1536/is-pantene-pro-v-conditioner-good-for-natrually-curly-hair Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:48:10 -0400 Kittylover 1536@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1389/whats-in-garnier-fructis-shine-burst Sun, 18 Apr 2010 19:14:20 -0400 4gtfl1 1389@/bbforum/discussions I have very thick, coarse hair and I keep it on the long side.]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1413/water-hardness-products-adjustments Mon, 26 Apr 2010 10:20:16 -0400 trueblue 1413@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1403/mothers-day-sale-free-bonus-products-and-amazing-discounts Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:38:43 -0400 charlybrown 1403@/bbforum/discussions
