Hey Webby,
The hairdresser that I went to last week said the same thing about using too much protein. Maybe we are using too much. Something to think about.
Glad you had a good experience.

When you asked for a dusting, did you say "dust my hair" and tell them how much to take off?

I usually ask for a "dusting" and if they look perplexed, I specify that I want about 1/4 of an inch taken on off...no more than what is required to remove the bad ends.PhonyBaloney500 said:When you asked for a dusting, did you say "dust my hair" and tell them how much to take off?
The stylist that I went to on Friday, will definitely be a keeper

Funny thing is ...Is that a black hair stylist told me years old that too much protein is bad. stuff like Aphogee can really dry your hair out to the breaking point. He recommended only doing protein like once a month or every other month.LadyR said:

How do you ask for a white stylist to do your hair? And then out of all of them in the shop, how do you find the right one. The last time I went for a "dusting" in a white shop, they ended up giving me to a Black lady who cut off an inch of my hair. 
Can anyone recommend a good white salon/stylist in the DC area?

Well, I go to an all white salon (there is one african girl there - she's not bad either). I usually tell them I want a "dry dusting/trim" I also find that I get MUCH BETTER RESULTS from women who have long hair themselves.imani97 said:
The woman that gave me my recent advice and info has very long, color treated hair. So, she knew exactly what I meant when I said trim. There was hardly any hair on the floor.
Is there a Holiday Hair or Cost Cutters in DC. That's the type of salon I go to for trims. Except this time, I went with wet hair.

Do I get this olive oil treatment from Regis salons?

Alas, here's a review of these products.webby said:
Matrix Biolage Fortifying Shampoo - Great lather, but left my hair somewhat stiff and I had to be extra careful detangling. When I use this again, I'll use it first and use CON for the second lather.
Matrix Fortifying Conditioner - Very good. It left my hair smooth, bouncy and soooooft.
Matrix Fortifying Leave-in Treatment (spray) - Not bad, but not my favorite. As I figured, liquid leave-ins are just not my thing. In the future, I'll use this to spray on my ends just before I wrap my hair around the rollers.
I used this to wash my hair this evening:
Olive Oil Treatment shampoo - Not bad. Great lather, wonderful aroma (note: used CON for second shampoo).
Olive Oil Treatment hair masque - This is a rather thick, creme that is applied to the ends of hair, avoid roots. I left it on for 15 minutes, as instructed and then rinsed out. I could tell immediately that it was going to be good for my hair, as it seemed to instantly make my ends feel soft and sleek.
Olive Oil Treatment conditioner - I didn't have to use this, but I like to use a rinse to detangle my hair while in the shower, so I figured...great time to test it. It was pretty good; I was able to easily comb through wet hair. This is a thick conditioner...I was impressed with the fact that a little went a long way.
Ultimately, I think that if I can buy the masque separately, I will definitely repurchase it. The end results left my hair as shiney, sleek, manageable as if I had just gotten it touched-up. My ends looked like they had been freshly cut and there was SO MUCH SHINE!
It's a keeper
