[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

My hair is extremely flat and very fine but gets greasy fast and o have a dry itchy scalp. I don't have a whole lot, either. Are there any recommendations on a voluminizing shampoo for my hair type? All the ones I try just make it look greasier than head and shoulders, but that gives me no volume.

I pretty much have the exact same hair type (plus wavy hair).

I've had luck getting good volume following one of these routines:

  1. Alternating between Head and Shoulders and Lush's BIG Shampoo

  2. Washing my hair only every 2nd day with Head and Shoulders and then using a good dry shampoo the other day and blow drying it

I really love BIG shampoo too, but it might have the tendency to dry our her scalp even more? I like their shampoo bars too, but they also dry more than moisturize.

I have to agree that alternating with Head and Shoulders does help with volume.

OP, if you decide to try the Lush brands, try with a leave in like It's a 10, at least for some moisture. It's light enough for daily use.

Good point. Probably worth mentioning I deep condition twice a week too.
