Try Bead Head Some Like it Hot serum, or Moroccannoil for fine hair.

A job.

Color does take better when the mineral buildup and impurities are stripped from the hair. I know stripped sounds harsh, but it really isn't.

Now if you're gonna clarify before you get your hair processed, I'd say skip the conditioner (you can use a light leave-in if you have to have something in your hair).

No problem, that's what I'm here for! ;D

I always just say clarify as needed. If you like the way your hair feels, keep doing whatever you're doing. I usually clarify about once a month, and especially if I'm about to get my hair processed. But that's me. (:

They should be, just give it some time. Or you could order the products direct from TIGI's website. :)

When your hair is flatter than normal and you can't get any movement or volume, those are pretty good signs. It won't necessarily feel dirty or anything, but it'll have that "too soft" feeling.

Try to clarify your hair once in a while. I suggest Malibu products, they're amazing at removing product and mineral build up in your hair.

Do you really think something that supposedly does nothing but build up on your hair, would really make it look healthier? Granted, silicones are mainly used for temporary effects, but that's almost every product with or without silicones. As much as these companies want you to believe that their "natural" "organic" "vegan" or whatever product is better because it doesn't have silicones, it's not always true. The word "repair" is also often used, but once you chemically process your hair, the damage is done. Literally. If you're really looking to add moisture and shine to your hair to help bring it back to life, look for products with oils in them like argan, coconut, and olive oil. They have actually been proven to penetrate the hair shaft and have a better long-term effect on your hair.

I know. I've really neglected it lately, but I'm gonna try and update it again very soon.

That information is classified.

I already have all the products - and love them!!!

Yes, they all are. None of them are heavy, and I doubt you will feel any buildup. [:

Dry shampoos are tricky. They vary in effect from person to person i.e. some people with thinner hair love product A, but people with coarser hair dislike it and prefer product B. You get what I'm saying, right? However, the latest issue of Modern Salon magazine features a segment on the most popular dry shampoos - check it out! You can read a digital copy on the modernsalon.com website. Thanks for your question!

Over hyped, over priced, and bad bottle designs. I can say over priced, because I'm in the business and know what you're really paying for. Just saying.

Sure. It'll just take a lot longer.

Actually there are four products. I don't know if the Nature's Rescue products are sold together for consumers. Even the bundle I bought weren't full sizes - except the sea spray.

Trying them out, reading cosmetic chemistry blogs, doing research, reading ingredient labels, asking experts. Basically I just have this overwhelming urge to learn as much as I can about how products work - so maybe I can have my own line someday. :D

If you really want an in-depth look at the industry, I say yes. If you're not so hands-on about it, don't bother.
