Hair & eyelash question - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

My hair is not really that dry, but does not have any shine to it! I am
52, so body is going through changes. What hair product really
does leave the hair with shine????

Also, my eyelashes used to be easy to curl......now they barely curl
no matter what I use or how long I leave the eyelash curler on my
lashes.

.....I have been using the Shu Uemura curler, then tried Mally
eyelash curler, it is made different so am having trouble using the Mally!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
thanks, Linda

Well for your eyelashes- when your in the shower, with your eyes closed-leave some conditioner on your eyelashes for about 30 seconds. Then when you go to curl your lashes they should curl up nicely.

Try a spray on shine for your hair. You can try Biolage spray on shine. It would make your hair quite shiny. Or the generic kind at Sally Beauty Salon which is the exact same thing for 1/2 the price.

For you hair, you should use a clarifying shampoo since you might have product build-up which can make hair look dull and lifeless. You only have to you use it once a week or whenever you think you need it. Then you could as Nicole 27 suggested, use a shine enhancer. I have heard that Citre Shine's polishing serum and laminator or both good (and they can be found at the drugstore).

As for you eyelashes, many salons are starting to offer eyelash perms (that way you won't even have to curl your own). You can probably learn more about it on the internet, just make sure that if you do it, that you go to a qualified person. They also have eyelash tinting which makes your eye lashes look longer

try heating up your eyelash curler with your blowdryer. only a few seconds though - you dont want it too hot or you'll burn your eyelids.
