You can find it where horse products are found!! It can be used on horse manes or on human hair. I believe they have a website to, but I have always bought it at our local TSC store. This stuff is awesome!!! It can be used on wet or dry hair. You put about a quarter size amount in the palm of your hand and then rub it through your hair. I use a bit more on my daughter, as she is much more tangled than I get. Her hair always looks so shiney and healthy.. and smells great too!! Give this a try, it should help greatly!

Followup on my daughter's curly hair~~Thank you
well, I went on ebay after i read the suggestion to try Cowboy Magic. I bought the smallest bottle I could buy, cause I wanted to try it out. And WOW!!!! It works wonderfully! Thank you so very much for the suggestion! You have no idea how truly thankful I am, as well as my daughter.
You were also right about the smell! I was a tad bit worried about that, but needlessly. It is great! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Cowboy Magic
Cowboy Magic is great stuff. If she has any really bad snarls or is matted, use the gel and put it on them and leave it for a while. They'll come right out. It's what I use on the horse's tails when they're a mess and we're getting ready for a show.
I have long, thick hair. I found over the years that I get what I pay for. So now I pay around 55-60

37 y/o and I still have long thick blond hair to my bottom! sm
I have had long hair my entire life...and will probably keep it that way for many, many years to come. I used to be a very blond when I was young, but the older I get the darker it gets....so I do a nice color on it to keep it blond. I have a 13y/o daughter and we are looking more like sisters than mother/daughter..but I am not trying for that at all. I jut love my hair and dont care who else does or does not.
Holy smokes, I have thick, long brown hair
$50.00 for cut and color and my hairdresser does a wonderful job.
Anyone else out there with curly hair?
My daughter is 3. She has waist-long curly hair. It is so beautiful but I am beginning to despise it!!! It is so tangly. I use Johnsons & Johnsons detangler from Wal-Mart, but that just doesn't seem to help. I wash her hair with a shampoo/condition in 1 and then I do another round of just conditioner. I can't figure out how to make this better. The hair combing experience every day is painful for both of us!! If you have any suggestions, short of cutting off those beautiful locks, I would sure appreciate your advice!
Curly hair
I have curly hair and so does my son so I know what you mean about it being a painful experience for both of you. I've found that sometimes it helps if you leave the conditioner in for a while before rinsing and always use a wide-tooth comb. Some leave-in conditioners help. When my hair was really long I always braided it before bed so it was easier to deal with the next morning.
I like Aveda and I have naturally curly hair.
It's pricey. But it seems to make my hair so smooth and silky and manageable even when I decide to straighten it with a hot brush. Actually I like all the Aveda hair care products.
I'm an Avon girl for make-up. I especially like the cream to powder foundation. Easy to apply and then easy to take off at night, but I still use noxzema for make-up removal since I was a teenager. I don't wear make-up everyday, but when I do I really like the Avon products. Not too found of the nail polish, but I like the eyeliners and lipsticks. OPI is the best for nail polish as far as I can tell. 
I have naturally curly hair that is colored, and thus dry sm
First, stop washing all the time - I cut back to once a week (when scalp feels icky) but I use a conditioner every day (rinse out). Out of the shower I put on a vial of Hask placenta leave-in conditioner; that adds shine and restores the curl. Another good thing to try is an avocado oil treatment; you can use this daily on towel dried hair and it adds lots of shine.
Eat your bread crust and it will make your hair curly! nm

Long hair....
I am 35 years old and have very long curly hair. My mother-in-law thinks I am going to have to cut it soon. (This is coming from the lady who goes to the hairdresser and asks for the Moe!) She says people over 40 look silly with long hair. I think she is nuts. I will keep my hair no matter what my age. Do what you want and don't let a few old hags make you feel bad!
I used it a million yrs ago when I had very long hair. It

I hate that my hair is long
I'm 45 and my hair has gotten very long, down past my shoulder blades. I've been growing it for two years for Locks of Love. I've always wanted to donate to Locks of Love, but I've had my hair no longer than shoulder length for over 20 years. Since they want undyed hair, I know that time is running out for me! At 45, I'm beginning to find gray hairs now and then. Yes, I know that's great to not have had gray hair until now! I think that if I can hold off until Christmas or so, it will be long enough to cut and donate. But, I do not like having it long in the heat. It's very thick, so it takes forever to dry, and well, at my age, long, straight hanging hair on a pudgy woman with wrinkles just looks silly. :)
I will be 46 next week and have very long hair...sm
I am fat and don't think I look silly with long hair. I also color it red. I did the donating thing 3 years ago and cut my hair short and really missed my long hair, started growing it out within a month after donating it. I live in Texas, so it gets hot, but when it is too hot to keep the hair down I use clips or ponytail holders, no biggy. I do need to get a trim though, as I figured out the other day I have not cut my hair since last December, so it really could use some trimming up. I will probably keep my hair long until I have a reason not to, but long hair is definitely not for everyone, as it can be quite the hassle at times. 
love my long hair
I'm approaching 50 and my hair is waist length. Like Patti, I don't look or act my age and people are surprised when they learn my age.
I will, however, never forget being in New Orleans and sitting at a bar next to a man who was a hair stylist who told me I was too old to wear my hair that long. He thought I should cut it to just at my shoulders, and honestly, it probably looks better that way...BUT, I love my long hair, and he was an admitted "tri-sexual" (when I asked what that was, he said he would try anything!!!) lol!
I've always kept my hair long..sm
You can do some very chic styling with french braids, cingons, up-dos, french twists when you need to.
Since it grows so quickly, I've been able to donate to locks of love a coupla times...Right now after a shearing it's just below my shoulder blades....
All of us have bad hair days, but some folks have no hair days. Please consider donation if you are so inclined.  Cat
Since your hair isn't really long, 60 is ridiculous. I stopped sm
paying my hairdresser because I didn't like paying 45 and my hair is pretty long and I like to keep it layered and styled and colored right, too. There are way too many good stylists out there who charge way less, even in the big cities, and I wouldn't waste my time there. Move on. They are ripping people off.
I'm all about stylists and people in the service industry making a living, but 50.00 for the half would even be better than that.
I don't have a problem with long hair on boys
but I do have a problem with not keeping it nice. There are a lot of men and boys with long hair that looks good. His is all stringy and icky looking. My son has a longer hair style and thinking about going longer with it but we have had the talk about still looking nice and having some sort of style to it. The minute he doesn't, it goes. Kinda like wearing dirty clothes out of the laundry basket. Sure every kid wants to do it and you have to piok your battles but mine isn't going to walk out of the house looking like no one cares enough to make sure he is a clean, well taken care of, and well fed boy.
My friend's daughter has hair like that (sm)
She only combs it when it is wet, right after washing and conditioning it and she combs it with a very wide-toothed comb. They keep it in a pony tail at night and just kind of dampen it and pick it out in the morning. There is no way she can brush or comb it when it is dry, but it is just beautiful!
My daughter's boyfriend's hair is the
most gorgeous long blond hair you have ever seen. It just makes me sick!!!!!!!!!
5yo Daughter cut her hair super short...
She cut it so short on the front and on the sides around her ears.... How she got scissors I have no clue, because I am in my office and she didn't get them form ME!!! URGH I am so mad!!! She had absolutely the prettiest long brown hair! I don't know what to do! I can't take her to the hair place because I have NO money!!! I spent my last few dollars on groceries until next paycheck... LOL. Anyone know a good hair site? I tried to Google some.
Leg Magic Machine
 I saw this new Leg Magic machine on TV. Does anyone have one? Does it work? I could use some more tone in my legs and I hear it can be of benefit to your back as well.
Magic of vinegar.
Everybody always tells about the magic of vinegar. I got to learn firsthand today about it. I pulled a real stu*id one this morning, left some food in the microwave too long remembered it when I smelled it burning. Pulled it out and it was black and stunk up the whole house. I opened all the windows, froze my butt off (it's cold here) and no luck. I looked on the internet and found a site that said to boil some water and vinegar on the stove and it will take the burnt odor away. I used about 3 cups of vinegar and 2 quarts of water and simmered it on the stove for 3 hours and the smell is totally gone. What a relief. Thought I was never going to get rid of that odor. Now all I smell is the roast I have in the oven. And no, it's definitely not going to get burnt!

My male cat Curly sometimes
tries that with my female cat Ophelia, who is his mother! Its just scandalizing. ;)
I have naturally curly....
hair, but not the nice locks that look sexy, I have a huge poodle-like frizz ball on my head! I used Biosilk for years with my flat iron and it works great. You buy it in the salon. I never could find any of the department store products that worked. Recently, I found a new line of products made by Palmer's and you can buy them in Wal-Mart. They have shampoo, conditioner, etc and are made with extra virgin olive oil and I promise you these are WONDERFUL! They have this stuff that comes in a big green aerosol spray bottle and it's called "sheen spray". I use that now with my flat iron and if I'm in a hurry I will use it without my flat iron. I LOVE that stuff and it only costs around 5 bucks!
He was being sarcastic about the soil part. They just have a magic touch.nm

A crazy person and Christmas tree magic....
We just don't do a christmas tree because it's just my husband and I. However, when I visited my brother a couple of years back, he had a real Christmas tree he cut down from his own property. That thing smelled just magical. His wife and kids decorated it with the simplest of ornaments, colored lights, popcorn and cranberry garland, a red tree skirt, and those awesome silver "icicles" that captured the light light diamonds.
Well, I saw that tree and suddenly I was 6 again. I got down on the floor, flipped over onto my back, and scooted under that tree right up to the stump and stared up. Everyone thought I was nuts but it was just...magical. Next thing I know, my two nephews (almost teenagers) joined me and were also struck silent. They had never done that before! My brother and his wife joined in on the weirdness and said they had never looked at their tree from the floor, as if they were a kid again.
It's such a simple thing and I couldn't believe that they never did that! Time just stops when you look up through the boughs of your Christmas tree, with all the decorations and sparklies, and all your troubles are washed away so long as you stay under there looking up.
So, yeah, if you have a tree, try that. The spirit will come back to you--I promise! If not, get a glass and fill it 1/4 of the way with egg nog, then backfill with 3/4 spiced rum and pound it down your gullet--in about 10 minutes the magic will be found.
 
I recommend 1-2-3 Magic by Dr. Thomas Phelan to read
It sounds somewhat corny, but I promise you it works. My 6-year-old was a holy terror but not anymore. There's nothing to lose. Check your local library for it. It's a pretty quick read.
These kids know how to push our buttons so they can be the top dog in the house, and it sounds like he's unfortunately found your buttons.
Good luck!
Crazy curly in the summer, poker straight in the winter
My hair changes with the weather and it is impossible to get a good hair style because it looks so different from one day to the next. But I like the color, natural blond with reddish highlights.
Thick socks. I have the same problem.
thick. Roses or daisies?

Put on some thick skin....my gosh,
everyone is so touchy here lately....my opinion is allowed and it does not have to agree with yours! We still can have our own opinions in this country, can't we?
Thick family bond or not, - sm
My child would be yanked out of that very strange and potentially harmful situation so fast it would make your head spin! Children certainly do not need to spend their time worrying about death and being subjected to this weirdness. If it costs your marriage to get your son into a better situation (i.e., camp like someone suggested) then it was not much of a marriage to begin with. Your first obligation is to your child.
Buy one of those thick doormats. My cats love SM
to put their claws in that. It is an outdoor mat, but we have it inside. You have to give your cats something they like more than furniture. If you have anything wicker, put that on floor level for them.
You could go and have vet cut the claws some, but they grow back fast.
make it thick - sounds good

Especially when the person you are taking to is about as thick as a sapling. - sm
I have started my own little dieting regimen and it's working so far.
Just eating healthier and being a lot more careful about what goes in my mouth. I'm also trying to add a little more activity every day. I'm pretty sedentary and even just adding a five minute walk around the yard is enough to get my blood moving for now.
I have lost 17.5-pounds so far and going for another 35-pounds by the end of summer.
Good luck to you.
Mine has some slight curl but not real thick. nm

I was referring to my own hair, people hair. nm

I am in a biracial marriage, not thick skinned, live in the deep south, have
a mixed daughter who is 32 years old and she told me going to school she had the best of both worlds. Live in a very nice mixed neighborhood, just don’t know where this person lives who has to be thick skinned. Has never happened to me.
Depends if it is long with pregnant pause um no. If it is long and juicy like an op YEP! Short ones

I had it during my pregnancy a long, long time ago. Husband

Daughter's phone is daughter's responsibility. Valuable lesson learned.
It should be between the daughter and the friend if the friend is going to pay any of the fees. They are teenagers, not preschoolers.
he's not a real person, but that feeling is real - the magic. nm

How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back. I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once. Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL. Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
I agree - a mother is a mother and a daughter is a daughter for life sm
despite the problems they had, which i truly believe stem for anna's drug problems. obviously her mom wasn't too bad or she would not have raised daniel for a while. i think the mother wants her buried in Texas so the grave will be close enough that she can go visit it without having to come up with expenses of going to the bahamas to get there. although i contradict that too in poor anna needs to be buried with her son.
Hair
Oh yeah! I have a long-haired cat. My living room looks like she had a fight with Santa and Santa lost his white trim and long beard. LOL
Hair
Oh I know you meant people hair. Just wanted to share that my cat is goning through the same thing these days. I guess because she is just so close to my heart she feels like a child not a pet. 
About your hair
What do you like/dislike the most about it?
I've been letting mine grow, so it's longer and looks really nice around my face. It's very soft. That part I like.
I hate hate hate having long hair when it's hot outside. Ponytail and hair clips, here I come.
hair
Yes, you can do this yourself. Go for it. IF you want an overall lighter color go for it. Make sure you read the box about if your hair is dark it will look like this or if your hair is this dark we do not recommend. I would also even recommend going to a Sallys Beauty Supply. They can help you as well. I used to do hair for a living before MTing.
