I usually tip 15% because I also tip the shampoo person.,,,,

In Reply to: What should you tip on a $65 haircut? - NM

But if the hairdresser does it all, including the shampoo, etc., I tip closer to 20%.

Are you a night person or a morning person?
Just curious . . .
Shampoo sm
I totally agree! I can't tell you how many times I have gotten home only to find that I ended up with 2 conditioners or 2 shampoos instead of 1 of each. My fault, I know, but I've done this despite being (I thought) extremely careful so it didn't happen again. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky to have such an array to choose from.

How is it different from regular shampoo?
Is it conditioning? I have to avoid conditioning shampoos, so I've wasted a lot of money trying shampoos that are all about conditioning the hair (It irritates the skin).
Can we talk about Shampoo....
It is really a bit annoying to me to try and buy shampoo these days. I just want a bottle that says "Shampoo---for clean hair", but trying to read all the labels and pick out a bottle is kind of getting on my nerves. First, you have to find the one that says "shampoo" and that isn't easy since it is written in 2 different languages. (And let me say right now that immigrants that speak Spanish do not bother me in the least bit--and I don't care whether they speak English---just to get that out of the way, cause this isn't about that at all.) Then you have to read whether it is for frizzy hair, dry hair, colored hair, hair that needs hydrating, hair that needs dehydrating, permed hair, gray hair, shampoo & conditioner (which I do not want).......!

I mean can't there be just "Shampoo" and that's it?

Is it just me, or anyone else out there having this problem? Maybe I'm getting to be a bit crabby in my old age, but I would rather spend that time doing something else instead of studying the dang shampoo shelves.

If I don't shampoo my hair every day...sm
It is so oily the next day it looks like I haven't washed it in a week. I have to wash it everyday. It would be nasty if I didn't. I wish I didn't but I do.
Depends on the shampoo I use sm
We have well water, and I buy a special shampoo for that. If I don't, I get an orangish tinge to my hair and it does not stay clean for even a whole day. Also, I can only use a tiny amount of conditioner because my hair tends to be oily. That said, I usually only wash my hair every other day, more because of my schedule than anything.
Does any know if kids shampoo
I was at a salon the other day with my 2 girls, one 7, the other 3.  I asked the stylist if it I should wash my 7-year-old's hair in regular shampoo instead of the kid shampoo I get.  I have done it once or twice when I ran out of shampoo.  She didn't say yes or no, she just said that she wouldn't because kid shampoos have an ingredient in it that prevents lice.  She said the detangler spray in particular is what helps.  I tried to Google that but haven't come up with anything.  I was just wondering if anyone else heard it.  TIA
Also Nizoral shampoo might be just the ticket.
I like the OTC one, but there is also a Rx one with the same active ingredient. I just didn't like it as well.

The OTC one is expensive, like $12 a bottle, but it's great stuff.
Medicated shampoo? Sounds like what my

Thanks - I will try the powder - just got new shampoo so won't try the Dawn yet (nm)

Paul Mitchell Shampoo One
simple as it gets.

Wella SP Regulate shampoo is (sm)
ideal for oily scalp. It won't damage your hair, either. I alternate with Nystatin (OTC) dandruff shampoo.
I tell you what shampoo WILL prevent lice...sm
At Sally's the generic Paul Mitchell's tea tree oil shampoo. Tea Tree Oil kills lice so if you shampoo with it it prevents them. It is not a lice killer it is just regular shampoo. It smells a lot like peppermint to me. I used it when my son started kindergarden because I didn't want him to get lice. Kids in his clss had it and he never got it. It is a little expensive but worth it to me.
When I get dry, itchy scalp I make a shampoo...sm
I copied this from my vinegar book for you.

Apple Cider Vinegar-for your hair/scalp PH balances
Dandruff and Itchy Scalp: add two teaspoons of ACV to a large glass of warm water. Lean your head over a sink and carefully pour the mixture over your entire scalp. Wrap your head in a towel for 15 minutes. Unwrap head, comb hair and then wash hair as usual. The acidic nature of ACV combined with its potent enzymes can help scalp problems such as dandruff, itchy scalp, baldness and thinning hair. Apple cider vinegar also stimulates hair follicles to encourage the growth of healthier hair.

All Natural Shampoo (ACV)
Add the following ingredients in a blender:
1 oz. Olive oil
1 egg
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ACV.
Use as you would a regular shampoo

Herbal Hair Rinse Combinations Using ACV
Use ¼ fresh herb or you can use dry ones. You can use any herb you like. Add to 1 quart boiling water. Let is steep until cool strain then add 2 tablespoons of ACV. Certain herbs can enhance your hair color, as well as condition it. Rosemary and parsley are good for dark hair, sage will darken graying hair, chamomile will highlight blonde or light brown hair, calendula conditions, lavender and lemon verbena add fragrance, linden is good for frequently shampooed hair, and nettles will control dandruff.

Head & Shoulders or other similar shampoo (sm)
That helps me with lots of skin ailments - I use it under my arms so I won't be stinky and it works great :-)  Might be worth a shot anyway.
My daughter had this problem, ended up she was using a shampoo
for oily hair that made her hair over-compensate for using the oily shampoo and it produced more oil, hence her having to wash her hair more often, try switching shampoos. I feel for you.

I have also heard that washing with dog/cat flea shampoo kills them although I have never tried it.

I just like a nice-smelling, sexy guys' shampoo myself.

cold compress and clean it with baby shampoo.
Would go find another eye specialist ASAP. I have this happen once in a while but not on a consistent basis. Can also be allergy related, i.e. if you use eye makeup or anything like that, or even if you are allergic to other stuff.

I am allergic to Pine Sol. When I use it, my eyes swell up and go shut. It is an awful thing to behold, let me tell you.
The only thing that works for my youngest daughter is Prell shampoo. nm

I use Dawn dish detergent, shampoo twice. Also use powder before bed on my head
I put the powder on my scalp and work it through the hair close to my head at bedtime. The powder absorbs the oil. This gives me a couple of extra days between shampoos.
Regardless of what medicated shampoo you choose, you must also rinse very well to eliminate any buil

It probably varies from person to person (sm)

With me, first child I was out of the bed seriously within 5 minutes of having him.  I didn't tear or have to be cut, he was 7 pounds, 3 ounces.  The doctor did some type of vaginal massage on me though while I was in labor and that was supposed to help loosen the vaginal wall?


Second child, same experience.  She was 8 pounds, 1 ounce and within 5 minutes of having her, while they took her to the nursery to get cleaned up and all, I walked downstairs with my husband to the cafeteria to get a drink and stretch my legs.  I had already put my regular clothes back on as well.  My doctor who delivered her was walking in my room as I was walking in and he was stunned a second and said he thought I was a visitor, LOL, not the patient.


I don't think you have to have bed rest in normal cases.  With my son I went home within 24 hours with him and with my daughter we went home in only 20 hours.


KeraCare from salons is a recommended one, as is the Jason itchy scalp shampoo from health food

No, I am not that person...sm
Nor am I trying to be ugly...I think YOU come first in this situation.  If not, you'll get in deep trouble with your health, then what? Your family needs you...take care of yourself, and make your husband pitch in...that's all I'm sayin'
Who is this person?
I have no clue who this person is. 
I saw a person having 1 of those 1 day
and they could do like all the other people around, just ignored it. I was in a public building, guy down and frothing at the mouth, not a good scene but totally ignored.
What do you think causes a person to be --sm
unable to show feelings/compassion for anyone else?  I have a friend?? who shows no emotion at all.  Says it is the way she was brought up and her family are not talkers.  I shared some devastating news about my son with her last night and she has shown more sympathy to her dog after it was spayed than she did to me.  Just do not understand how someone can see a person as broken as I was last night and offer absolutely no comfort.
I think that person needs more than just a

Perhaps you could help me tell if this person is just like you or not?
If not that is fine, but you could probably use your "talent" to help others, like a PI or something.
Are you the same person who

posted a month or so ago having sent an e-mail to your husband's family regarding your husband's brother who is in jail and the father's apparent favortism?   Just curious if this is the same family we are talking about.  I remember that husband was bipolar and alcoholic.


I don't know the legalities of the situation but you might have to go through the garbage of calling the police, the dramatics and the ER one last and final time.  But then be done with it.  He's not choosing to get better and you can't make him.  Change the locks. 


Be strong.  Hugs to you.   


 


Mom of 3 you are one nasty person...
I hope your children dont take after you. Teaching them responsibility is one thing but pure nastiness is another.....
What a Wonderful Person
I wish I knew more people like you. It's too bad that some people are like this, but unfortunately the world is so much different thatit used to be. Keep doing what makes you happy.
The person who last had our number...sm
still uses it, so we get calls for her all the time! We got this number over a year ago when we moved and constantly get calls for her. We always tell them this is not her number anymore, but I guess lately she's been using it to give to loan places because they told us this. They apologize but it still stinks. She has a lot of debt out there, especially for school loans. We don't want to change it, though, and go through the same thing again and having to tell everyone our new number for nothing. We're also signed up at the Do Not Call website.
how condescending can a person be?

After I had a surgery 2 years ago, I gained an incredible amount of weight - not water.  Last May I started going to the pool and doing water aerobics every single day for 2 months and changed to a low-fat diet.  I did not lose weight, but I was replacing fat with muscle, which is the first step with the amount of weight I was dealing with.  Then I started getting one URI and sinus infection/ear infection after another.  All that exercise kicked my GI tract into hyperdrive.  Now I have IBS and colitis.  I can't exercise because I have to battle real and exhausting pain for the next 2 hours.  I have pain every single day.  I no longer have hunger pains as normal people do, so I really do have problems knowing when it is appropriate for me to eat.  I've been with 2 different GI's during this time, failed 5 or 6 different medicines, and still can't lose weight, diet or exercise.  My pay has been cut in half.  I had to quit my second job and only work part time now instead of full time - all because I wanted to get healthy and in shape again.


The next time you think having extra weight is a choice, let me invite you to pay the $600/month I pay for medicines to control my GI tract issues. 


I would say either try a contact person where the
contact may be someone in the Social Services for your state.  Maybe even the Division of Child Welfare.  I would look in the phonebook under government agencies.  I bet a social worker may be able to help or guide you in the right direction.  I knew someone who had a child with cerebral palsy that took the insurance offered from the employer, but was able to get Medicaid for the child as a supplement for things the primary did not cover.  I am not sure if this is state-by-state though.  Hope this helps.  Good luck to you and your daughter as her children do need health insurance. 
To The Person Who E-mailed Me

The calling card is yours if you want, but I didn't receive a reply address; the "From" field was blank for some reason.  If you could resend, that would be great! 


I think it depends on the person....

It seems to me the person should be talking
to the person they are having dinner with and not someone on a phone. And as posted below, they usually have to talk rather loud and I do find that annoying.
To the person who e-mailed me...
Thanks so much for the information about BioSpot. I had no idea and I should have done my research beforehand. I have already ordered it but will be sending it back. I finally figured out that the Zodiac has been making my dog very itchy, so much so she has a hot spot now. Used it before but did not put two and two together. I think I will try the Frontline.

Thanks again for the warning! Hope your cat is doing better now.
Take it seriously and report to the person
you would think would be most instrumental in getting the assistance she seems to need.
U must be a wonderful person....
to have two such beautiful people in your life. Sounds like you have a great family!
This person is not a friend

You could use all kinds of psychological terms like "codependent" and "enabling" but the fact is, she is a mooch and you are a sucker.


Harsh, I know, because you were trying to be nice and help someone. But there are some people you just can't be "nice" to. They will walk all over you. Obviously, she is one of those people.


If you're angry at anyone, you should be angry at yourself for taking so long to figure this out.


But that would be a waste of time. Chalk it up to experience and move on. Cut your ties with this person as much as possible, and if on occasion you have to see her for whatever reason, practice saying "No. No. NO."


I think that person is just a LURKER, trying to
Not a person worth taking seriously, wouldn't you say?
Thanks everyone and to the person who emailed me.

Would I be a horrible person if
I got my cats declawed? I'm totally against declawing, but my husband is REALLY mad and says either we get them declawed or they have to go. We just got brand new furniture and they have the arm of the sofa snagged up already, luckily it is the piece that is being replaced cause the delivery people broke a board on it bringing it into the house. I don't know what to do, I would never get rid of my cats for doing something that is in their nature. I already have scratching pads and a post and put the catnip on it. They must just have more fun scratching the furniture. Any ideas, suggestions?
