they say that about ANY shampoo they're not selling you! the favorite phrase around here is: oh! that's Janitor in a Drum!

You know, I must be one of the few gay men in this world that doesnt make a big deal out of my hair. As long as it looks pretty good and is slean, that's all I really need.

Like someone else said, they're just trying to get you to buy stuff. I remember my old stylist saying that about me coloring my own hair, he was like, "Um, I wouldn't do that because"....and then went into this long-winded spiel about how the color they use is better than the store bought stuff and a bunch of other useless information that made no sense whatsoever. I wanted to just look up and ask him how dumb he thought I was to believe that load of horse crap. Well anyway, I went back to coloring my own hair and the new girl I go to for haircuts (who is FABULOUS btw) couldn't stop complementing the color. I told her I did it myself and she was like, "good, stick with that color" instead of trying to get me to come to her to do it. That's the sign of a good stylist. They care more about your hair, and keeping you as a long-standing client (in good faith) than making all that cha-ching $$$.

I always like how I go and tell them.."okay..I use suave, or pantene or whatever" (something from wal-mart) and they look at you and say..."hmmm...I've never heard of that" bull-****. just because you work in a salon, and the only pristine products that touch your perfect little hands are biolage, or redken...etc. does NOT mean you don't know what in the hell pantene is. PULEASEEE..I mean..don't these people at least watch commercials??

My husband is a hairdresser, so we've kind of envolved into hair snobs. He doesn't really think any color is better or worse for hair, but shampoo/conditioner can make a big difference. I think if you have short hair, anything would do. You're getting it cut so often that product isn't going to make a difference. I have long hair though, and I only use the good stuff (that I get at HALF price b/c of my husband- the mark-up for that stuff is like 300% or something crazy like that).

OK, I have to recommend a conditioner... Neutrogena Triple Moisture. I know it's not an expensive name brand, but this is the ****! You can get it at Nordstrom if it makes you feel better... but Target also sells it. It's one of the few hair products that makes a noticeable difference with my hair. I've spent good money on hair care products but I've never found anything that works better than this with my hair. I got my hair cut last week and the guy cutting my hair make a comment about my hair being healthy.

I have actually used that before...I liked it but it wasn't my favorite. I use Nucleic A...which you can't buy in stores...unless something has changed.

My hair isn't exactly the most healthy...it tends to be a little dry at times...and I'm sure my constant use of a flat iron doesn't help matters.

Just make sure you never by those crappy 2-in-1 Shampoo/conditioners...blah! They are two totally different processes and they do not belong in the same bottle.

Do lots of guys use flat irons? Is this a new thing that I'm not aware of? I've never heard of it.

I think the last time I saw a flat iron was in an Annette Funicello movie. I didn't know such things were made anymore.

Nothing screams "I Love C*ck" more than a man who uses a straight iron.

I think my mom use to iron her hair in the '60s...but I haven't heard of guys doing it...or anyone in the 21st century, for that matter.

Anyway...I try to keep my hair cut so short that I don't have to do much of anything with it. I recently discovered that Supercuts has gone up the $13.50 for a haircut, and I refuse to pay it. I've found a place that charges $3, but I've yet to try it. I may do it soon, though...I'm started to get kinda shaggy.

A marriage proposal is really redundant at this point, isn't it ?

If you want your hair perfectly straight...yes. Lots of celeb guys use flat irons...and lots of everyday guys do as well...they just don't admit it! Whatever works I suppose...just take a look at Amy's hair in my sig...flat iron...major!

I pay $50.00 (plus tip) to get my hair cut. THREE BUCKS?!? Why don't you just buy a Flowbee and get it over with, man.
