@mariacbigs I have not tested my water, but I am guessing that it has a lot of iron because it stains the shower curtain liner. I really need to get a water softener. I would say that of the products I listed, the Kérastase Mini Blond Absolu Hydrating Illuminating Shampoo 2.71oz / 80 ml has the biggest impact. I just remembered Living Proof Clarifying Detox Shampoo 8 oz / 236 mL . I tried a sample of that a while back, and it seemed promising. The sample came with a water test strip.

I would recommend using a leave in conditioner or using a hair mask Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Hair Mask 5 oz/ 150 mL is a great one! @melgiz

Wise advice, @RebeccaV2. I think that it's relatively pathetic that the company is being sued--it's up to the consumer to make informed decisions and to actually pay attention to the intended usage for the products that he/she is choosing to use--but I also initially was overusing Olaplex. At first it worked really well for my hair but after an extended period of time it definitely started causing my hair more problems and it came to a point where I stopped using it. That was my fault for not being properly informed and while I still think that Olaplex works great for some people and it can be a great product for the right situation, it just isn't for me anymore and I'm glad that you found some other products that work better for you :).

Thank you for this suggestion! And I agree about some volumizing hair products weighing the hair down. Technology is improving all the time though, so I am hopeful!

@geejess my Dyson Dyson Supersonic™ Hair Dryer lasted 7 years

Unfortunately, I had a similar experience. It made my hair feel dry and brittle.

Pureology Color Fanatic Top Coat + Clear Hair Gloss Clear @Josette23 will add gloss without depositing color.

Thanks so much! Hate it when they discontinue good things
