Hi Ladies, Since my hair was fried at the salon I need something far more powerful to care for my hirrid hair. I used to use Shu Uemura and it is a high end product. I have the full shimmer products made for natural to color treated hair. The shampoo, conditioner, Camellia silk oil, and the heat protection "iron spray". the shampoo and conditioner are nearly full, the flat iron spray used twice, full, and the oil used once, full. These products I purchased from Bowie Salon in seattle Wa for a total of $150.00 plus tax. If you are interested in the set or any of the products let me know. I will knock $15 off each product. Great deal considering they are pretty full and just sitting behind my mirror. I loved these products but I am wire head now after color disaster and I am still in process of switching products to find something to make me look less hideous:(

(i just read your other post in the main room) and I would actually keep the camellia oil. it may not seem like much, but it is a really good light leave in that does help with wiry hair. i've got a nice big bottle in my bathroom of pure camellia oil and i love it. i've not had the opportunity to use much shu uemura before, but i do know that the japanese know how to care for really thick wiry hair (my husband is part japanese and his hair is as wiry as my curly hair!). Anyway, i tend to have the same trouble in cycles with my hair. i'll post more on the other board for you.

Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like. ~Author Unknown
"Never shall a young man, Thrown into despair By those great udulating Ramparts at your ear, Love you for yourself alone And not your curly hair."
"But I can get a flat iron And make such tresses there, Tame, or smooth, or stick-straight That young men in despair
May love me for myself alone And not my curly hair."
"I heard an old religious man But yesternight declare That he had found a text to prove That only God, my dear, Could love you for yourself alone And not your curly hair."
