Nick the hairdresser on

What Not To Wear has curly hair. He has lots of tips when somebody with curly hair is on. He uses certain products afterward to let it curl, but smoothly and in an organized fashion.
With the wide-toothed comb, look for one where the teeth are rounded or even sort of squared off (in a rounded sort of way). That makes it more comfy when you get close to the scalp.
I do have one area at the nape of my neck where my fine hair tangles terribly.

Hairdresser problem
I need opinions, please. I have pretty heavy blonde highlights and go for a hair touch up last night (normally I just get hightlights and nothing else, no toners, etc. because it blends great with my hair). I say I need a few more hightlights at my root to brighten it up a little, you know for the holidays and all. This probably would have cost me around 40 and did the job. Well, she starts telling me that the root is much darker than the rest ? Well, yeah, usually is. She said that I should do a *color* at the root that will be close to my natural hair color but brighten it up AND some lowlites that same color AND some highlights stating that this way it will be more blended. Okay..whatever you say. This was only my 2nd time with this girl and the last time she did a good job. So I go for it thinking she is the hairdresser, right? Well she leaves it all on an hour and a half (apparently the lady before me who just came in for a cut ended up being talked into a whole new color too!) Hmmm. So, close to 2 hours later, the regrowth and lowlites are red and I see very little highlight or blonde! Hello, doesn't *blend* at all and in fact my husband thought I went auburn! Of course with the salon lighting you really can't tell until you get home and see it in different lighting. I normally have neutral blonde hair but now with these very noticeable streaks and roots of strawberry blonde. The kicker is it cost me 135 because it was a double process. So my question is, do you think they sometimes do things just to up the price so they make more money even if they know it is not the best thing to do? I know in my heart if she did what I asked it would have been fine. I am going back today for a *toner* to cut some of the red but I am really MAD because I know now it will appear darker overall which sort of defeats the whole reason I went in the first place! Not to mention what all these processes are doing to my hair. What do I say/do? I know what I'd like to do but I'm pretty sure that I'd end up in jail. Thanks for any advice/opinions.
I have gotten so good at it that I don't want a hairdresser (sm)
to color my hair. I am never happy with what they do. Are you wanting to keep the light brown and have highlights but just a different color highlights? Because if you put anything on it is going to change all of your hair color of course, not just the highlights. In my experiences with toners they have made my hair look the color of say, a nice car floor mat LOL! If you put a golden blonde color on your hair, it is going to lighten all of your hair, so you would have golden blonde hair, with slightly lighter highlights. Your best bet if you do not want to go spend a lot of money at the hairdresser and don't want to change your entire hair color is to try to find a temporary wash-in color that will darken up your highlights a little. I like Garnier products a lot.
Kris Novoselic's (Nirvana) mom was my hairdresser.

I asked my mom, who is a hairdresser, and she said the best way is to use pure acetone. sm
Soak a cotton ball in acetone, hold the hair on a towel, then put the soaked cotton ball on top of the hair and hold for a few seconds. Then keep wiping hair with wet, acetone-soaked cotton ball until the product comes off. This may take several times, depending on how much glue she's got in her hair. Then wash hair.
Hope this works helps!
Looking for gift ideas for massage therapist and hairdresser -
I see the massage therapist every week (my treat to myself!) and the hairdresser about every 6 weeks for a cut. I really want them to know how important they are to my well-being, especially my massage therapist. You all have the best ideas. Thank you so much! 
It may take a while for Nick to return
they wrote his death in becasue they couldn't agree on contract terms. He almost left the show. They write the show sometims weeks to months in advance so it will probably be a few weeks or more before he is back on screen. BTW, I love Phyllis with Nick. When Victoria first came back to Genoa City she saw JT at the hospital (when Brittany's baby was about to be kidnapped) and her face lit up like and Christmas tree when she said his name. I immediatly thought those 2 would be great together.
Nick and Phyllis
Now this is something to talk about. Love that show. Oddly enough I think Nick and Phyllis belong together. They make a great couple. Sharon does well with Jack. I really think Jack is trying to be a better person. Can't stand Nikki.. and starting to dislike Victor.. Turning kind of mean and nasty, more so than the old Victor.
Y&R Fans -- Nick is alive! :0)
 Wonder what the story line will be now? I was hopeful that they didn't kill him off for real.
I love Phyllis and Nick together.
I like the storyline cause you have to mix it up somehow, but I hate that he had to relive the death of Cassie. He did some really good acting.
Love Phyllis and Nick together (sm)
can't stand the way Nicki is treating P either, and yes, she was nasty to Sharon too. See, soaps can teach us a life lesson. I would never DREAM of treating my sons' wives like that (even the one I wouldn't have chosen - LOL) I always treat them with respect.
Like you, I loved Nick Norman
or whatever his name is. I think he shot some pelvic thrusts towards Simon last night, not caught well on camera but sorta. The audience loves him as well. I think he would be great in a satire, broadway kind of show and I hope should he leave he finds something like that. Great entertainment out of him but not so much as what I want out of a singer Idol. The red haired girl had the Angeline Jolie lips going on and I thought very attractive but most just let me down as far as the singing goes.

Anyone think Nick is going to walk into his own memorial service?
nm
No, NIck has not appeared, no clue what will happen there. sm
Jill is planning to go with Jimin (sp) on his trip, Catherine is totally against it, she does not trust Jimin since he is associated with Jack's business. Victoria and Brad have made amends, vowing to never cheat on each other again. Sharon is questioning Jack's integrity and his trust of her. JT was missing his PDA and found it at Crimson Lights only after Kevin had retieved information from it for Colleen (she thinks he exposed her relationship with Corbel), not sure what he got though. That's all I remember.
Do you know that Y&R comes on at 10/11 p.m. on Soapnet? Until last week you could have seen it at 5/6 p.m. as well, but they hae changed the TV schedule...
I thought Nick would walk in - guess we have to wait
