A hair stylist told me a number of years back that one way to keep hair looking healthier is to not wash it every day. I have color treated hair and the color stays "fresh" much longer if I don't wash it daily. In addition, it will help reduce the water bill if you are washing your hair less often.
My current hairstylist and I bartered recently and it saved me big bucks! I make jewelry, so I taught her and her daughter how to make earings and how to use the internet to order supplies. They were thrilled, I was thrilled, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
I recently switched to Liggett bar shampoo ($3.70). It will not strip the natural oils from your hair so most people do not need a conditioner. Good for permed or colored hair, and hair with natural curl.
This old-fashioned bar of shampoo is made from an Old New England recipe, out of a time past, before there were synthetic oils and modern liquid shampoos. The natural oils in this product are compatible with your own natural oils. This shampoo does not strip them from your hair as many modern liquids do.
Blow-dried or natural, your hair ends up with body and manageability, while left soft, healthy, and smelling clean. After using this shampoo, you may find you no longer need a conditioner.
The best family hair-care investment we made was the purchase of an inexpensive electric hair clipper. It was the price of two haircuts and has saved us far more trips to the barber than that. My husband is unfussy about his hair, wanting it only to be out of his way, so we use it for him — but this might not be preferred by some men. My son doesn't get a choice. But during the summer, a buzz cut is more comfortable anyway. My other son will be introduced to the clippers as soon as his baby hair is thick enough to need attention.
It's not a useful tool for me and wouldn't be as great if we had girls instead of boys, but for our situation it's perfect.
Hi guest, I have checked multiple sources and can still only find two ways to determine tire age, based on the following:
For tires manufactured in 2000 and after, the first two numbers identify the week (from 01 to 52) and the last two numbers identify the year.
For tires made in 1999 and before, there are three numbers. The first two numbers indicate the week, the last number indicates the year, for example, the code 105 would indicate the tire was made in March 1995. Source: Detroit News research
Go to the library and check out the book, "Don't Go Shopping for Hair Products Without Me" by Paula Begoun. She gives great info on hair products, including specific brand ratings. She reiterates that you DON'T need expensive products, and that many store brands work quite well. A lot of time you're paying extra for fragrance and packaging.
If you can, don't ever blow dry your hair. I haven't for 25 years and my hair is pretty dang healthy.
Our method is not very scientific. We work with two used car dealers. They both have good track records in the community and have been in our small town area for some time. We tell them what we need and how much cash we have. Both have accomodated our finances, backed up their promises, and followed through on repairs etc. as needed.
I have long straight hair that tangles and frizzes easily. I have ALWAYS used conditioner. About 6 months ago I switched to using a vinegar rinse instead. I was skeptical at first but it's fantastic! No tangles, my hair is shiny and smooth. Plus, it costs just pennies per application and there's no harsh chemicals in it.

I'm a brunette with straight hair that has a tendency to curl under on its own. The best advice I ever heard was to get a hair cut that looks good even if you wash your hair and let it air dry. I haven't used produce beyond a little gel or torture instruments on my hair since. I'm 57 years old and my hair is healthy and shiny even though I go to cheap places for hair cuts, and buy the most inexpensive shampoo and conditioner on the shelf. You can pay for a big bucks product name if it makes you happy, but the essential ingredients are all the same. Bleaching, perms, extensions, and all the rest of it damage your hair for no good reason than an ego trip. Learn to love the hair you were born with, and keep it simple. You'll save money and your hair will be in better shape for it. By the way, hair is dead so putting vitamins in shampoo and conditioner does zero for it.
A "certified" used car means only what the dealer wants it to mean. Get their claims about the car on paper and take it to your own mechanic, no matter what the dealer tells you.
Carfax, etc. are a must, but even with a clean report the car you are looking at could have been in an unreported accident. Mine was.
I recently bought a used car that has a bent "knuckle" where the strut attaches to the frame. It pulls right -- just a little. It's $800-1000 to repair. Of course I didn't notice that when I bought it, and I have no recourse with the dealer because I can't prove he knew about it.
I looked up pricing for my excellent condition latest model phone. They offered me $1, but I see it going for $20-35 on Ebay. I wonder if they resell these? It is good that they will take anything, though. I think I'll stick to selling my own stuff if it has value, and let them take my junk! LOL
Thanks for the link, though. I like any program that encourages recycling!
- I believe there is a natural limit on both house prices and rent.
- The income of a married couple, with good credit, will limit the rent/house prices in a given area. The area being defined by the driving distances to/from work.
- The sub-prime mess was an attempt by the banks and other creditors to get around this limit in order to push up real estate prices. Bankers/Creditors willingly chose to redefine the term "good credit" and hide the risk.
- I don't foresee marriages with more than 2 partners. IMHO, multiple families in one house is a niche, also.
- Rest assured, the bankers/creditors will try to find other ways to get around this limit, and probably make more messes like the sub-prime one. Furthermore, they will provide MOC campaign contributions to limit their responsibility for the consequences, again.
- Frugality is advisable.
I do splurge on a good $50 cut. For my hair it does seem to make all the difference. Because of the style I have I only have my hair cut twice a year. I color on my own and have found a color that works for me that my hairdresser says she can't improve upon. (I stock up on hair color when it is on sale and I have a coupon.)
My one tip is to wash your hair and put on conditioner when you first get into the shower. Then don't rinse the conditioner out until the very end. If you are shaving your legs etc. this gives the conditioner extra time to sink in.
I use the cheapest national brand of shampoo and conditioner I can find (Usually Suave or VO5) and that works well for me.
Great tip! I noticed that everything settles pretty quickly. Since I usually check on them once a day (silly, isn't it) I should shake them while I'm in the fridge. Cool!
I do have a substantial amount invested, which is one of the reasons I'm able to pay for this out of pocket. Now if only the stock market would recover...
I used to work for Aveda and actually if you can only splurge on one item it is shampoo. Shampoo's by design strip hair of natural oils, however it is the chemicals and as Thursday mentioned the sulfates that do the damage to hair by stripping its natural moisture. Most conditioners are created equal though since none are designed for stripping the hair. I always advised customers to buy the expensive shampoo and just get the most moisturizing conditioner they could find at the drugstore. I have bleached my hair for over 15 years and have had great luck with Queen Helene's Cholesterol Creme it is amazing for dry straw like hair and works beautifully if you sleep in it and rinse in the morning. My friends at the high end salon on Oak Street in Chicago swear by it too! Cost $3 at Walgreen's.
Find a good beauty school. I have had really good luck using a local cosmetology school for cuts and color. The cost to get my hair professionally colors is $20, the same cost as 2 boxes of store color. I didn't realize how bad box color was on my hair until I switched to having it done. They said it was something about the chemicals in box color being different and harsh. The students are always supervised and if your worried about skill, ask for a senior student.
Cuts are $9 there. So far my track record with cuts I have been really happy with is better there than with regular salons. I had one cut at the school I wasn't totally happy with but it wasn't bad either.

Or if you're a man, shave your hair entirely...you'll never think of shampoo again!
For women hhmmm...do a britney spears?*laughs*

I just checked the website and I will be sending my old cellphones since we just upgraded to the Iphone.
I will be back to post on my experience
Thanks for the tip

If you can only splurge on either good shampoo or good conditioner, go with the good conditioner. Expensive shampoo is a total scam.

The cost to get my hair professionally colors is $20, the same cost as 2 boxes of store color. I didn't realize how bad box color was on my hair until I switched to having it done.

I just picked up Whole Foods Market's Mint shampoo. It's relatively inexpensive, smells great, and is free of a lot of the crap in my other shampoos.
This is just what I was looking for! Thank you for posting it.
