Mario Badescu Drying Lotion... once again... an expensive product that claims to help acne. So does it really do more than OTC benzoyl peroxide?

I've been applying mineral oil to my wet hair after cleansing. My hair feels smoother and softer. But, is the mineral oil doing any good at all?

Is there any really any difference between brands of Type 3/Permanent at-home hair colour? Some stress non-fading, others a natural look, but they all apply the same way (apply/wait/rinse out/condition). Post-colour conditioners seem the same to me, too. Are they?

hey brains!!! Great website!!! I was surfing the internet for one good deep conditioning hair treatment because im growing my hair long and i want it to be healthy, so i came accross REDKEN EXTREME DEEP FUEL from Redken, and this is what it claims:
Want to know how Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) and Julia Roberts get such great looking hair. They use Deep Fuel.
This durable strengthening treatment helps restore your hair back to it’s natural, healthy state. It provides long-term conditioning and repair that last up to 8 shampoos. After 5 single treatments your hair will be up to 3 times stronger.

The unique 3D repair complex, has a combination of proteins for internal strength, ceramides for cuticle reinforcement and lipids for protective resurfacing.


Directions of Use:


For intense repair, use every 5 shampoos or as often as needed
After using Extreme Shampoo, towel dry your hair
Apply small amount of Extreme Deep Fuel and comb through your hair
Leave on 5 minutes
Rinse thoroughly

So i wanted to ask you guys, how is it possible that the repair lasts 'up to 8 shampoos'? how does that work? and what does it really do to hair? And how do the proteins, lipids and ceramides in it really affect hair?
Sorry if the question is too long hehe
Thanks guys!! keep up the good work!! and please be specific with this one!!

hey brains, i absolutely love your site!! but right now im really concerned about something i read about SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and PG (Propylene Glicol), in this website:
http://www.zellersnaturalhealth....com/ danger.html
Are these ingredients really that damaging to our hair, skin, and most importantly, health? If so, why? and what can we do to prevent this damage and keep washing and moisturizing our skin, washing our hair and brushing our teeth? And what products are safe to use? Im really concerned about this...
Waiting for your answer.. Laura

Can women use Just For Men hair dye? Is their claim that it only colors grey hair true? And if it is, how is it possible?

Thanks!

Can a cream repair DNA damage? I have to say that any cosmetic cream that says something about DNA sounds bogus, but I heard a dermatologist from Mount Sinai say that it may work. The name of the cream is Remergent DNA repair Formula, could it truly repait photodamage? ( I am a reformed tanoholic)
