The Official Haircare & Styling Thread

So, I thought it would be fun to post reviews of products, and offer tips to others who are looking for new, innovative, inexpensive, hassle-free tips and products for hair; instead of having to sift through a bunch of threads, you could find it all in one place. Especially recommend products that combat acne breakouts.

I love hair; I know a lot about hair, have tried many, many products, and it's important to keep your hair healthy. So, have fun! Avoid Hairicide!

_____________________________________________________________

*Products I Currently Use (But Not On A Daily Basis):

Biolage Hydra Therapie Shampoo (This is a great shampoo for thick, dry, coarse hair that needs a boost of hydration).
Biolage Hydra Therapie Ultra-Conditioning Balm (This is a great conditioner that really conditions my hair the way it's supposed to without weighing it down).
Biolage Hydra Therapie Fortifying Leave-In Treatment (I use this rarely because it builds up in my hair; but it's great for overworked ends).
Biolage Hydra Therapie Leave-In Conditioner (I use this once per week only because I don't like to overwork my hair. But it's a great leave-in conditioner. It's even great to use before you shampoo to protect your hair).
Garnier Pliable Clay (I use this a few times a week to give my hair a roughness, edge, and abstract shape when styling. It dissolves and washes out wonderfully).
Garnier Shine Wax (This is great for smoothing out bangs. I use this about a few times per week).
Dermarest Shampoo for Psoriasis (I have begun using this 2x per week because of my scalp sensitivity and it really helps).
design line by Regis Tea Tree Shampoo & Conditioner (This stuff is really great. I love the way it makes my scalp feel).
Citre` Shine Anti-Frizz Serum or TRESemmé No Frizz Shine Spray (I use these sparingly because a small amount is all that's required for either product to work wonders).
TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse (I use this 1-2x per week for voluminious hair. I work it through my hair when it's damp, then flip my hair forward, and blow-dry on a cool temperature, gradually increasing to the lowest warm temperature a few inches from my scalp).
TRESemmé Thermal Creations Straightening Gel (I use this only when I flat iron my hair which isn't too often).
Nature's Style Shampoo & Conditioner (These are both Sulfate and Silicon free, so I use them when I need to give my hair a break. They work well, but because my hair is so thick, and oily, I can only use them once per week).

*Tools that I use for my hair:

A wide-tooth comb (I use this to get out any small tangles. I also use it in the shower to distribute conditioner, because it's the only hair tool that won't kill your hair when wet, like a brush would).
A round brush (I use this for the sole purpose of smoothing and adding volume to my hair when blow-drying).
Blow-dryer (I use the Remington All-That, which is great and doesn't damage my hair because it uses negative-ions to reduce static and frizz. It's small, has an air-filter so you can remove lint and hair).
Flat-Iron (I use a small Conair Satin Finish 3/4" Ultra-Slim Ceramic Straightener. It works wonders and hasn't really caused any damage to my hair. There was part that was prone to damage, but it doesn't even give me split-ends. However, I recommend that anyone who uses a flat iron to use a heat-protectant product of some sort to minimize damage or even prevent it. I also have been using a Her Styler, which is a higher end ceramic flat iron. It's similar to a Chi, but different. It doesn't damage my hair, and I love it.)
Tooth Brush (This may seem weird, but it's great for areas that are prone to fly-away hairs. If you take an unused toothbrush, and use some styling gel, wax, or any type of smoothing cream, it will really help those areas to reduce fly-away hairs).
Spray Bottle (This is a miraculous tool because during the winter when your hair gets really dry, if you spritz your hair twice throughout the day, and apply an anti-frizz serum, you will help smooth your hair and reduce frizz. This is also great during the summer when your hair is prone to frying and damage due to the sun).

DST/Board time settings

Ever since the time switch, my settings have been acting strangely.

The time setting on my computer is correct, but when I changed it in Board Settings, it went back to the previous settings prior to the time change. And it continues to do this every time I log off. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or it's just a glitch.

Are any of you experiencing this same problem?

Glitch

Why do some threads with several replies show zero views?

Is this to prevent multiple views without replies? Or is it just a glitch?

I was just curious.

Dying hair for the first time...

Well, I'm a guy, and I have hair past my shoulders. It's really shiny and healthy. However, I have noticed that the color is fading in some areas. Not sure if it's because of the sun or something else. It was auburn/light brown growing up, and then it went dark brown. I just kind of wanted to maybe get a touch up, if possible. Not necessarily all of my hair dyed.

Since it would be my first time, and I don't want to cause damage, what would be the best advise you can offer?

Regular, healthy bowel movements

I strongly believe this is a strong link to healthy skin. What do you think?
