Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The aforementioned Aveda makes some good stuff.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

does anyone have suggestions for shampoo and conditioner for colored hair?

L'Oreal's Color Vive.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hmm. Probably should tell Connie about the $150 reconstructor bumble & Bumble makes...

You could cut off Ple's braid and use it to dock the Queen Mary.

This is true. I just did my hair, and at just below my chin, the only thing saving me from having to use both boxes of Nutrisse (I'm mixing two colors) was a liberal application of neutral protein filler when I put the stuff on the regrowth. I had high hopes of thinning a bit post-baby, but nope.

Neutrogena Triple Moisture. Great stuff, and better than any of the salon stuff I've tried that isn't bumble & Bumble. (I can't justify b&B prices. Even when I'm working.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hmm. Perhaps I use too much product.

Nah--I don't use it every single day anymore on account of staying home with the kid.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks all! I will see what I can find on my next grocery store run.

The one caution with the Neutrogena is to use just a little, as a little goes a really, really long way. Even with my hair.

You've got the thicks, too, so start with about half what you think you'll need.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've been using the Fructisse and I like it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Annabel's ears are fine, so after lunch I'll be calling the speech pathology lab for an appointment. The audiologist agrees with me that if there's a culprit other than "stubborn perfectionist kid not talking until she's good and ready," it's probably the tongue tie. In which case I want to figure it out and fix it asap. She's definitely been more temperamental and frustrated lately, which I know could just be her age, but could also be having lots to say and lacking the physical capability to articulate it.

Punishingly Intricate

Since we are talking about hair products, does anyone have suggestions for shampoo and conditioner for colored hair?

I use Paul Mitchell's Color Correct. I think it's pretty good.
