I just love my "#10-B-ME Longhairs® Protein Daily Long Hair Conditioner"... and here's why:

I've been using this conditioner since 4 months and my hair has not only grown till below my waist (i.e. 3-4 inches) but the texture is smoother , less split ends to worry about and it looks much better than having poker straight hair thats been through a straightner! I use this conditioner in combination with the #2 Superclear Balance Shampoo.

Louise Marie has done all the science so you just need to use it as she tells you to!

Louise Marie,

Over the years I have had a horrible time keeping my fine dirty blond hair
looking good. I always have dreamed of having long hair however I could never
grow it long without the dull colour, brassy, split ends and hair breakage.

I came in to see you in the spring and have
used your hair products and hair care process since that time. I just wanted to
let you know I have caught so many people staring at my hair. It feels light and
soft, it falls beautifully around my face. I LOVE IT.

It has grown over the summer and there is alot
of new growth and with the help of the sun it has some beautiful hilights with no
brassy dried out ends. Just wanted you to know.

I found your website while I was on a search for a "For Me" Birthday present.

I was actually looking for a simple horn comb. All my life I have had fine hair that just never looked right long, even now it's in a jaw line length bob. While reading about your products I
wasn't sure if this was the right place for me. I browsed your sites for hours, seriously. I was impressed with the amount of information available and the details that were included. I wasn't sure I was willing to spend so much on some shampoo, conditioner and a couple combs. I figured, what the heck? It's only birthday money, what's the worst that could happen, I could have great hair.
My shipment arrived today, so I opened my birthday present, read through the tutorials and headed to the shower.
Wow.
Even with just one washing cycle (I followed the directions though and lathered 4 times!)
I can't believe the difference in the way my scalp and hair feel. I could
be happy with longer hair if it felt and looked like my hair does.
I'll let you know how it all goes. Thank you for making your fabulous
talents and knowledge available to a larger customer base.
I am so very happy that I took that chance.

I just recently purchased the LML Longhairs shower head and filter ...
All I have to say about it in a nutshell is there is definitely a "Wow"
factor about it ... Who would of thought about making a big deal about
a shower head and filter but I'll tell you ... Your showers will never
feel the same once you try this product ... In my opinion you feel
refreshed and revived and you will just feel different all in a
positive way ... You will just have to try it for yourself to
understand what I'm talking about ... Once again Louise Marie "Thank
You" for a wonderful product ... You never cease to amaze me.

Regards,

Mel

Louise Marie:

I wanted to tell you that the new shower head and filter that I
got from you has made considerable differences in my hair and skin. My hair is
silkier and thicker.

I suffer from rosacea but I find that it is less of a
problem now..there isn't the redness that I used to have when I get out of the
shower. It is a nice shower head too, with all those different settings that I
still have to try out.

Another winner of a product...as always...thanks a
million!

I had been postponing getting my hair cut for about 3 years. My
hair is to the small of my back, and I didn't want another hack job
that only looked good blow-dried. I was on a mission! I searched high,
I searched low, and then I found her quite by chance (or was it fate?).

Getting your hair cared for by Louise Marie is the best you
could ask for. She is a joy to speak with, knowing her craft inside and
out; she is an encyclopedia of holistic hair advice. Louise Marie puts
you at ease with her down to earth, no nonsense approach, spending as
long as it takes to get it right and beautiful.

My hair was
not doing well. My previous hair cut was still maiming my skull. My
ends were split more than a few inches, it was dry and stuck together,
coarse like a mane. These were not the silken strands I so hoped my
head would house.

Louise Marie taught me how to use the products
correctly, explaining as she demonstrated, letting me feel the
differences occurring immediately. We discussed what I was looking for,
and then she sat me in her big antique barber's chair overlooking Yonge
Street and worked away. Her skill is such that she only uses scissors.
No funny appliances, no chatting up this or that technique. True
artists don^'t have to market to their clients, their work speaks for itself.

I hadn't had bangs since I was four years old. I was so nervous! I
walked out of their with a new love for my hair, it was shining, light,
more like it used to be when I was younger. All thanks to Ms Longhairs,
her magic scissors and elixers!

When I got home I used the shampoo and deep conditioner
I had purchased every day. The next week I went back for a check up
with Louise Marie. It was much better, but not as good as that first
day. She took the time to go over with me exactly how I was using it,
and explained what I may be doing incorrectly, and what I should do to
improve it (demonstration included!).

I picked up a natural bristle (Baby Kinder)brush and a Flexipick
for the conditioner, some clarifying spray for skin and hair and some
scalp oil. I was excited to go home to try my new products and
techniques.

It is amazing what a small change in technique can
bring (Major change for the best!). My hair has never been so shiny,
luminous, manageable, tangle free, and most importantly, pettable!

The #27 Chillout clarifying spray works wonders for blemishes and ingrown hairs, the Flexipick is amazing for snags and distributing conditioner in the shower, the brush makes your hair extra soft!, and the scalp oil is refreshing as well as a good excuse to get (or give!) a scalp massage.

My parents were coming into town and our dog desperately needed a bath.
We had no pet shampoo. He has very sensitive skin, it is always flaking
and itchy, with lots and lots of dander and hair that sticks in his
coat.

I thought, if it works for me, why be so selfish? Why
shouldn't extended family benefit as well, animals are deserving of the
joy of fabulous hair too! So I imparted the gift of the Longhairs
shampoo and conditioner to our furry friend. I tell you, he has never
been so clean! He gets compliments on his coat every time we go out.
His skin is clear with no more flakes, a problem he has had for years!
His fur doesn't mat, and this is only after one bath! It has been a few
weeks now and still his coat is magnificent.

Once you have tried, you will never go back! Longhairs clients are for life!

Every product is amazing. Louise Marie graces with samples and stories. I can't wait to try them all and neither should you!

Thank you Louise Marie Longhairs, from the bottom of my heart to the tips of my ends!!!

"#27 Longhairs® Chillout Purifying & Healing Spray" feels good going onto my scalp. It literally sucks crud out while cooling my temperature. Also, since I've been Scritching (using my horn comb), applying the #18 SOS Herbmedic scalp oil, and spraying with #27 I no longer have a flaky scalp.

Ruthy from Fla.

I have been a client of Louise Marie since 1990. At that time, one of the bands that I was playing with was producing a video and she was the hair stylist that was hired by the production house for the shoot. I immediately liked how she got my hair to lay. The more I spoke to her that day, the more I realized how serious and knowledgeable she was. My first cut at her salon left no doubt that I had found a person who would not only cut my hair (and leave it long), but oversee and educate me on how to make it (and keep it) healthy.

In 1990 I was 31 years old and for at least 5 years before that I had been concerned about how much hair I was losing in the shower. In 2009 I turn 50. I have a full head of long dark hair and (my father's genes aside) I believe that this is due to Louise Marie's products and the techniques that she has shown me to use them. You only need to use her products to appreciate their quality. I was impressed when I found out that she is her own chemist. These products are designed by her to be good for your hair and scalp. I believe that there is nothing on the market that is as good. On the rare occasion when I was forced to use commercial shampoo I was immediately aware of the harshness of the detergents and the garbage that is added to make these products look and smell the way they do. Her products are organic and mild and I can see and feel the difference that they make. It turns out that even the way you apply shampoo can have an impact on the condition of long hair.

Another thing that other men with long hair might not appreciate is the benefit of having a good quality comb. I am not a person who obsesses about my hair. I have chosen to wear it long. Many of the gigs that I do these days require that I wear a suit, and I frequently have to cross the border to play in the US. I have found that keeping it healthy and groomed makes it less of a problem for people who might otherwise have an issue. It brings to mind a slogan that Louise Marie was using when I first went to her. "Don't stare, grow your own"

My experience with hair stylist before meeting Louise Marie was not good, partially because I gave them too much credit and let them talk me into haircuts that took years to grow out. The most traumatic of these haircuts was in 1986. I had been growing out layers that had been cut in by previous scissor-happy hair stylists, and was just to the point where the bottom layer could be cut into the one above. That year I was finishing the music program at Humber College and thought that I would get a trim for my final recital. I went to a place that my sister had recommended. I explained to the stylist that I was growing out these layers and needed to clean up the look for this recital. The very first thing this woman did after putting the apron on me was to gather my hair at my back. Then she actually said "say good-bye" and cut off my pony tail (from the middle of my back to my collar). She then took the hair she had just cut off into another room before coming back to finish the haircut. I'm sure the bitch sold my hair.

I have wanted to write a note of appreciation to Louise Marie for some time now. My hair gets cut less than twice a year. As I began to feel the need for a trim this last time, I happened to be driving by her salon and saw that she was no longer there. It was a number of weeks before I had the time in my schedule to call to make an appointment. For that time I did not know where or why she had moved or if the phone number would still be good. The possibility occurred to me that for any number of reasons, she may have closed after 30 years. I was quite relieved when I did call to find that she had moved only a couple of blocks to a new location that is bigger and better for her. I wish her great success at her new location and I will remain her client as long as I have hair and she has clients. And if you are in the Toronto area and happen to see a band with a sax player with long hair, please say hi. All the clients of Louise Marie that I have met are as interesting as she is.
Be well.

I happen to come across Longhairs Salon one night as I was phoning a variety of salons to enquire about hair extensions. My hair didn't seem to grow and it was always dry and had split ends - "fried" is what I heard once. I tried MANY different hair products and nothing seemed to work on my hair. I was fed up I wanted long hair fast!

Thank goodness Louise Marie suggested not to attempt to add the hair extensions and fully explained how much damage this can cause to your hair and scalp.

It made a lot of sense. I suppose I just wanted a temporary quick fix. I agreed to go down to the salon to pick up some samples she had offered. I had the pleasure of meeting Louise Marie and seeing her salon. It was really nice to meet her and I had a lot of fun talking about hair. She took her time to explain the benefits of her products. She spent quite a bit of time with me. I was grateful for this because many salons try to rush you in and out, but not Louise Marie. I tried the samples and eventually purchased the LONGHAIRS® BTN PRODUCTS DUO and have been using this since my first meeting while saving up for my Magic Pak - which I can't wait for!

Since I have been using the LONGHAIRS® BTN PRODUCTS DUO I have received MANY compliments on my hair - especially that it is 'shiny'. I myself have noticed a big difference. It is shiny and soft. The most recent compliment I got was it was "alive".

I also purchased the "Magic Spray". I love this product and have a tip to offer:

"Magic Spray Tip"

At times I use hot rollers to give my hair a different look. I Magic Spray my hair all around only once - very lightly, then add the rollers. Once all the rollers are in my hair, I give another quick squirt of the Magic Spray all around. After the rollers have set, then taken out I am left with VERY soft & shiny hair! I find that the Magic Spray adds more shine. This should work as well if you use a curling iron.

In addition to the LONGHAIRS® BTN PRODUCTS DUO and Magic Spray, Louise Marie colored my hair. What was interesting about the color that Lousie Marie applied was that it REMAINED SHINY. In the past I noticed on myself and others who color their hair that the color faded in a week and it wasn't as shiny and vibrant.

FR from Toronto, Ontario

As I went home on the subway, an fellow identified as a gang member sat down next to me and looked long and hard at my hair. Finally, he looked up at me (I was standing), made eye contact and nodded. (My husband told me later that he officially put me under his protection, that he approved of me, somehow.)

Later, as I walked from the Keele station to my father-in-law's place, a panhandler asked for some spare change. Even as I declined, he added on, "Nice hair, lady."

Paul (my husband) just stared at me: he couldn't believe how bright my hair was!

Back at work, the custodian asked me if I had gotten my hair streaked or highlighted because it seemed so much brighter. Thank You!!!!

PS I have been talking up the delightful scalp treatment, and have forwarded the website to some friends who are interested in growing their hair long again. :-)

"WOW!! That sounds so great!! I have scheduled MY trip to see Louise Marie Longhairs!! I have been using her products for about a year, myself."

I can't WAIT!!

(another curly one from the USA)

a story from a-far...

I have been a Louise Marie Longhairs client (online) for over a year now. I now have nearly waist length, thick brown hair.

I'd been growing it out using commercial shampoos with high silicone content. I loved the shine (what was actually a yucky coating) but my hair wouldn't grow past "bra-length". I switched to high-priced salon formulas, which promised organic ingredients (like sodium l. sulfate, and of course, silicone-based conditioners) and great soft hair, but I got neither. Again, my hair was dry, frizzy, and felt more like straw than hair.

I found Louise Marie Longhairs' web site though a fellow longhair, and it was a whole new beginning for me.

The first few months I really didn't notice anything dramatic, but after awhile, my hair was growing longer, it had a MUCH softer texture, and the "frizzies" smoothed out into nice soft waves. I don't have oily build up on my scalp (which cause flakes!) and I don't get split ends as often either. My hair is growing longer and stronger thanks to LML's natural products.

But that's just the beginning of the story!

I being a poor college student, dreamed of going to Louise Marie Longhairs' salon for one of her famous cuts.

I was tired of going to "bargain haircuts" where for $10.95 I could ask for 1/2 in cut, and walk out in tears with 4 inches gone, or going to overpriced salons where they did the same thing to me for five times the price.

To get to Louise Marie Longhairs I needed a little help. For a gift, my mother bought me a plane ticket to Toronto, and a gift certificate to the Louise Marie Longhairs salon! I was completely overjoyed!

After some planning (with Louise Marie's help!) I was in Toronto! The day I arrived I was amazed that Louise Marie Longhairs' salon was in the heart of downtown Toronto, and the buildings there are beautiful.

The actual visit.....

I walked up the stairs to meet one of Louise Marie's assistants, and I waited for Louise Marie's arrival. In the mean time I was thoroughly entertained by - three beautiful cats with interesting heritages.

Louise Marie Longhairs arrived a short time later, a flash of sparkles and laughter! I will give her this, she really does look like the "sweet marie longhairs" logo on her products!

After some nice chatting about my traveling, we got down to work.

I've used her products for over a year, but with the limited things you can describe over email, I still had some build-up and needed to get a good scrub down of the Longhairs SOS scalp oil (#18). I'm sure LML could bench press with her pinky, her fingers are SO strong!

I found out that a main reason the area of hair over and around my ears was so unusually oily was that my hair grew straight down in that area, so the oil just sat around there and built up. The hair that grew there was very wispy and fragile. LML gave me personal directions on how to correct this, and this would have been very hard to do over email and the internet.

I then got a good dose of Chillout (#27) applied. I was shampooed and conditioned (with #2 and #9) and whisked to get the trim! In the mean time, they refilled my Magic Pack.

There is no way to describe the way Louise Marie Longhairs trims hair. She is most definitely an artist, and hair is her canvas! Snips here and there, over and under, for over an hour. We chatted, and it was great fun. I never saw big chunks of hair sitting in my lap.

Louise Marie Longhairs is definitely a perfectionist as well! I could now run my hands through it with not a catch or snarl. It was swinging and flowed and bouncy all at the same time! It had a definite shape to it now! Not just limp locks sitting on my back, but lively hair dancing as I moved!

She took a few pictures of my hair in her Non-salon. Then like a kid in a candy store, I got to pick out goodies to add to my Longhairs Magic Pack.

I got a pair of the Longhairs split nippers which work wonderfully, and they have a most original design! (I won't ruin that surprise!) :) I also got some hair clips and her velveteen scrunchies!

I loved every minute of it. Never have I felt more pampered! I didn't feel like I was going to some stoddy salon, but over to a friends house to chat the day away!

Louise Marie genuinely cares about your hair looking and feeling its best, and is a rarity in itself. I hope that given the opportunity, I can visit her salon at least yearly!

Since the cut, I have to actually SEARCH for split ends, and my brushes have never had it so easy (there are no more snarls to detangle!). I must say thanks again to LMLonghairs for all her help!

And if you ever get the chance, go see her!

(hails from the Eastern USA)

My hair is longer than before I started with the program and stronger.

I look after my hair 100 percent with all the Louise Marie Longhairs products and it must like it, because my hair is getting so much longer.

My hair is now well past my shoulders and healthy. I wash my hair every day without fail and I'm always using the Longhairs #18 SOS Medic Scalp oil before the usual shampooing and conditioning.

Im prouder about my hair than I have ever been .

My routine is sticking to the same shampoo for 3 days then rotating.

My hair as gained more manageability strength and of course it as grown, so I'm pleased with the results and I love all the shampoos and conditioners.

Here is a testimonial from a pet dog that needed my help named Agua or 'water' (a dog) seems he can type pretty good.

Here's what 'Agua' (the dog) wrote;

"This summer, I had a horrible experience, and Louise Marie saved my skin! I developed a bad reaction to fleas: a rash which developed into raw and itchy hot spots. So itchy, in fact, I almost chewed my fur off! I was naked and in pain, and my owners did not know what to do.

They consulted EVERYONE, to no avail. Then they asked Louise Marie for help! She prescribed #22 shampoo, followed by her famous #9 Trees conditioner.

I enjoyed the smell, and the soothing effect on my skin and fur. Best of all, the fleas couldn't stand it, and took off, ha ha!

#9 Trees conditioner was even great when they rubbed it directly on my sores, and healed them fast. Louise Marie also prescribed her #27 Chillout Healing Spray, which had an immediate effect, stopping the chewing impulse and cooling the hot areas down.

She even made some great wholistic and naturopathic recommendations, which helped me a lot! Now my coat is thicker and healthier than ever before, and I feel better overall.

I'm so glad she was there to help!"

Agua (the dog)

(he wags his tail)

I thought I would let you know how I was doing. I have been using the products as you have instructed and everybody keeps asking me what I've done different with my hair. I haven't done anything but wash it with your products. They are amazing.

I really like the #20 & 21# Shampoos and the #17 Lilith Conditioner. I have naturally red hair with blonde streaks from the summer. This combination makes my hair really shiny and red, I love the smells.

My absolute favorite smell is the #18 SOS Scalp oil. I have been using a little for the smell, at night if I have a headache or can't sleep. It helps me to relax.

I also use the #18 SOS Scalp oil on my husband's scalp as a treat because he loves to have his scalp massaged. I also really like the #9 Trees conditioner. It feels great on my scalp and it smells good too.

I have hardly had any tangles in my hair since I started using your products. I love them all. I have used the #13 -A Bliss tips oil on my ends and it works great. I don't have much left because my cat was in the bathroom when I was putting it in my hair and she knocked the bottle over and dumped the bottle all over the counter. I managed to get most of it off the counter and back into the bottle. I have about half a bottle left.

Thanks for everything!

Dear Louise Marie;

OK., I am hooked!!!

My hair curled and behaved so wonderfully last night that even some of my very unobservant guy friends commented on it.

I have read all of the posts on the inspiration board and I'm about to start on the golden rules board.

I want you to set up the diary that I refused yesterday - I know I will use it.

Your stuff is magic - the rash below my lip is almost GONE!!! (#27 Chillout Healing Spray was used there)

Today after my work out I used #18 SOS Scalp Oil, shampooed (2 lathers) with #2 Superclear, conditioned with #9 Trees Conditioner, combed it through, blanched, towel dried, retreated with a bit of #10-B Protein Conditioner, and then added some #14 styling aid, and my hair is curling like it used to when I was little!!!

I am so glad that I met you.

(straight from southern USA)

I have yet to find here a product that I DON'T like--they're all super! I had been bothered by a flaky scalp, particularly at my hairline around my face, and Louise Marie's product recommendations are taking care of it! I'm really impressed with her customer service. I am daydreaming about getting to Toronto for a visit to her salon as well (I live in USA) and hope to "someday."

(from USA)

I have eczema. My whole life my hands have had cracks & flakes & scabs regardless of the moisturizers or cortisone creams that I use.

I have found in the last three months since starting to use the LMLonghairs system that my knuckles have healed remarkably. I'm not COMPLETELY better (especially not my thumbs which almost never touch the products) but the change is remarkable.

Hi Louise, MY FIRST DAY: I now know what it's like to have really soft hair. I thought It was my hair, but as you say there is no such thing as bad hair, just bad hair products. Hairgasm is really the most appropriate name for what I had in the shower, you certainly know how to describe your products in the most truest sense. This is how my first day went: the night before I did a pretreat with the Honeybee, #19, in the morning, I did my oil massage with #18 SOS Scalp oil for about 5 minutes, washed and rinsed twice with #2 SuperClean, and then retreated with #10-a Protein Treatment, and dabbed my ends with #13 Bliss Tips. and once everything was dry I also sprayed a very small amount of #11 Magic spray. (I guess I'm just curious about all these many products, and am like a little kid in a candy store, I want to try everything). And Voila !!! No weigh down, just Super Soft, Silky feeling hair.

(curly haired from USA)

I hardly noticed any difference at all the first two/ three weeks I was using Louise Marie Longhairs' products. Then, seemingly all of a sudden, there was a softness and a shine to my hair that wasn't there before.

I mean, my hair had shine previously, but it had begun to show this glimmering, holographic effect.

Then again, I wasn't washing daily at first due to problems with my last landlady. It's been about 7 weeks now since I first started. I wash almost every day and my hair is: softer, shinier and has less tangles. Length is still something I'm working on, but I found out during my last visit that I wasn't using #18 SOS Scalp Oil in the best way possible.

I don't think healthier (and I'm hoping faster) growing hair is that far away for me.

(from Canada)

Louise Marie suggested that I add this to my previous post after our conversation about #27 Chillout Spray (when I saw her) this weekend:

I chill out my ears by spraying on #27 Chillout Spray, and then rubbing the ear with a wet cottonball with some #27 Chillout on it already (I already used the cotton ball on my face).

When I spray the #27 Chillout on my ears, I can actually feel the water in my ears come right out**. No need to jump up and down and tap the side of your head :-)

She also suggested that I spray my feet with #27 every morning.

If I remember correctly, it had something to do with using #27 Chillout Spray some form of hydrotherapy*.

Notes from Louise Marie;*(hydrotherapy; cold water therapy on the feet raises the immune levels) **(#27 actually disperses the water there;)

(hailing from Northern USA)

My Longhairs Magicpack arrived. Initially I was skeptical and worried that it wouldn't work.

My worries were over when I realized what a miracle product #27 Chillout Healing Spray was! I figured that if one product worked so well, I will have faith in the others - which after time, have all give me pleasure.

I love #27 Chillout Spray.

If you haven't thrown away your deodorant for #27 Chillout Healing Spray yet, you are missing out.

I always hated deodorant. It stained most of my 100% cotton clothing. I tried many brands too, and I still got stains. Plus, when I sweated, the deodorant and sweat made my armpits feel oily and disgusting. I never understood why my armpits should sweat more that other parts of my body.

Based on my experience, they sweat more BECAUSE of deodorant/anti-perspirant. I believe it clogs the skin and you sweat more to detoxify the nasty deodorant. It also blocks air from getting to the skin to evaporate the sweat. #27 Chillout does the opposite.

#27 Chillout Spray lets my skin purge so I don't have to sweat excessively. It also inhibits bacteria so the smell is gone without contributing artificial smells. It chills out my armpits, so my body doesn't have to by sweating more.

#27 as a deodorant left my skin smelling skunky for a few minutes after using it as my skin purged and detoxified itself. After a few weeks, that smell went away and has a more mint-like smell that I enjoy.

I use it on my feet when I wear sandals too. My old foot deodorant was terrible.

Unfortunately, I seem unable to thoroughly clean the deodorants out of some of my clothes and sandals.

I spray #27 all the way from my upper arm down my side to my mid-section after getting out of the shower and drying off. I then work on my hair, brush my teeth, etc. and spray a second misting of #27 Chillout on my armpits only. I find this to work the best.

Sometimes I will use #27 Chillout again in the late afternoon/evening. I like that it rids the smell instead of covering it up. My armpits sweat as much as the rest of my body now - no less, no more.

I also Chillout my face and ears every morning as directed. I had my hearing checked not that long ago and the woman put a tiny camera in my ear to look around and said she never saw clean ears like mine before. I don't put #27 Chillout into my ear, but somehow it keeps the entire ear canal clean!

I've used #27 Chillout Healing Spray for so much - paper cuts, itchy skin, cooling off after working out, etc. Of course, I use #27 Chillout on my scalp too :)

I know this is a really long post, but I really, really, REALLY love my #27!!!

(hailing from Michigan USA)

I have been using the products consistently last week (I have only missed washing my hair 1 day so far). As you know… I am African-American (Black), have straight, but slightly wavy hair. Do not use chemicals on my hair at all. I blow dry it. I don't have dread locks either. My 1st two days, I washed w/ the SC#2. I really liked it far better than I expected. Normally the buildup cleaning type shampoos are very harsh on my hair, but yours was surprisingly gentle and very easy to rinse out. I found that my hair was in great condition. The 1st 2 days, I also used the #19 Honey Bee Treatment after the washes and loved it very much.

Before I forget, I have used #18 SOS Scalp Oil and #27 Chillout Spray before each wash as directed. Love these products and will do as you suggested and order larger #27 in my next order.

The 1st two days, I used the #9 Trees Conditioner and #10-b and the #19 Honeybee. I liked both very much. After the # 2 SC washes, I used the #25. Loved how it made my hair feel. I used the #17 Lilith conditioner afterwards. After using #17, I felt that my hair wasn't conditioned to my satisfaction and tangled, so I rinsed and used #9. It was prefect then. #17 (Lilith) is a bit light for my extremely thick hair. Before drying, I always put on #12 Protein Spray. I love this product and am already addicted to it.

I blow dry (bad I know, but hair is too thick otherwise) and then use #11 to help w/ whatever tangles I have. I am also VERY addicted to #11! I brush using Kinder brush w/ some more #11 sprayed on (I really concentrate on ends). I pull it back into ponytail and braid. After braiding, I put some Bliss#13 on my ends, around nape, and hairline. I take my ponytail double it up and bobby pin it put off neck w/ the ends covered by my hair. So far, I really love the #9, #10a, #11, #12, #13, #18, #19, and #27.

The Shampoos I've tried so far are #2 (very good as an anti build up rebalancing shampoo), #25 (which I really love so far), and #1 (which I found left my hair a bit tangly afterwards, but will try again to see if it was a one off). I do believe that I will alternate each washing w/ the #9 and #10a conditioners. My hair seems to like that! ;0) Also, I think that I will use the #19 each time I wash.

It takes a bit of time (i.e. 20mins, it's impossible to over-condition my hair I tell ya!), but it feels so good afterwards, I feel it's worth it! I am really looking forward to working my way thru the shampoos to really get a better feel as to what's good for me. I will say that so far I am extremely pleased w/ your products and I believe that they will be very good in promoting the type of growth that I'm looking for. If my hair feels and looks as good as it does now and this is typical, it ought to grow healthily and long very rapidly! I am looking forward to this time next year to see all this great length! LOL

I will tell you that I am becoming an everyday washer. I don't know if this will be good for my African type hair, but it certainly feels good! To give you an idea of what my hair looks like, think Polynesian. Very Black, thick, w/ a lot of wave, but not hard to manage. Just much patience! Basically, it takes about 2 hrs from #18 to finish braiding to complete my hair routine. I do it at night for obvious reasons! :0) I do use the Kinder brush all the time. Feels great, no pull. Lose very few strands if any (which it truly remarkable).

Dear Louise Marie Longhairs

I ordered and have the big student STARTERS Magicpack and I am enjoying experimenting with the many different combinations. Thanks for the great info. I won't feel as guilty about blow-drying my hair now. Hair is doing really great. #18 SOS Scalp Oil, however, is critical, if I forget to do it my hair changes instantly. It seems my favorite combination is the #3 and the #9 Trees conditioner. You helped me kick the habit of "glossing" treatments. I still color my own hair but no longer need the silicone treatments I was doing before. (very toxic) My hair is long, shiny now on its own, thanks to your products. I 'd like to tell you, I didn't like the #3 shampoo the first time I tried it. Now I reach for it happily :)

Dear Longhairs,

Please feel free to post this on Louise Marie’s sites.The other day my husband asked me how I felt about Louise and whether she held up to my hopes and expectations. "She has far, far exceeded any hopes I could have had!" was my immediate reply. This is the first time in my life where I actually feel that I have healthy hair and scalp. After all, Louise is probably the only hair stylist who takes an interest in treating both. While I do have alot of hair, it is very fine, curly, and wavy.

My sensitive scalp has always had adverse reactions to commercial shampoos and conditioners. Because of the fullness of my hair and the ringlet curls, most hair stylists layered it in ways that made me either look like a child or a helmet head. I don't need to tell you that neither of these looks were very endearing to me. About 5 years ago I got an alopecia spot at the back of my head and earlier this year I got another one right at my hair line. My scalp was so worn out that my hair started falling out! Then I started visiting Louise Marie who introduced me to the S.O.S scalp oil and her shampoos. The nutrients in these products, as well as her honey-bee moisturizers and other conditioners (I use them all) have restored my scalp and it is actually NORMAL now! I am 33 years old and this is the first time I have ever have been able to say this!

Now after visiting with Louise my old layers have grown out and I actually some heavier curls falling around my shoulders...not the thinned out ones that I used to get. I have become very dedicated to the scalp and hair regimes which Louise has recommended to me. My hair gets trimmed regulary and I have no problems remaining loyal to her products. She has new products all the time and one is even better than the next. I am slowly making my way down the list so I can try different things all the time!

Above all Louise has always been loyal and concerned in return, which is a very rare trait to find in a hair stylist. I don't know how many ways to thank you, but you are wonderful! I loved the #15 Longhairs Scrunch for the Curls Cream so much that I used it all up already!

(fine and curly from USA)

OK. Long story, but here goes...

I'm 39, been highlighting my hair for years. My hair is considered fine and straight but thick. The past 4 hair lightening sessions were about 100 days apart and I used a process called "Sun Glitzing". This is supposedly all natural (though peroxide is used). My color is great but each time the process was over my hair would tangle. I mean really bad! It felt dry and crispy. I used "silk" shampoo and conditioning products my old regular brand of products Leave In Conditioner, Spray On Protein Spray Gel and Pomade to add shine and separation.

My hair looked good but so much hair was coming out when I combed through after washing and when drying. I started cutting back on the my old regular brand of products Conditioner and Protein because I travel and this was too many products for one head and suitcase! My hair began to tangle, then it began to matte.It took 10 minutes to untangle after washing then when I dry it started breaking and hair was everywhere!

I contacted Louise Marie Longhairs and ordered the Magic Pak.'

I would brush my hair with the Kinder Brush before washing. That took getting use to because it felt like it wasn't going through my hair and only brushing the top layer. But it wasn't breaking my hair. When I first started using the shampoo, it would not lather and my hair seized up and matted more!! I used 1/3 bottle of #10 Conditioner the first washing. Nothing happened. I kept trying different shampoos and masses of conditioner. I would lightly rinse the conditioner out so that some stayed on my hair after washing. I even started adding back the my old regular brand of products conditioner Spray after the Louise Marie Longhairs products. My hair was still tangling and knotting.

THEN, I read the Product Support page on the Louise Marie Longhairs website and I read "...Be sure to thoroughly rinse out all conditioner as this will encourage tangling if conditioner is left on..." I rushed home that nite and massaged in the Scalp Oil (I thought you should only use this if you had some scalp disorder). I (randomly) washed with #22 the next morning and conditioned with #9 Trees Conditioner. I even picked the conditioner through my hair in the shower the way you recommend. I have never taken the time to do that!!

This time I rinsed thoroughly with HOT water then COOLER water. My hair looked matted and tangled after washing but EUREKA, the tangles came smoothly out! I did not add any of my old regular brand of products with yours this time. I used a little Louise Marie Longhairs Styling Gel and dried my hair. My hair was very shiny. No need to add artificial shine products. My hair color was brilliant too!

Since I now have fly aways, broken hair from its previous trauma, I finished with #13 Bliss Tips to smooth them down. My hair looks very healthy today and as of this writing I'm running my fingers through my hair like I always do, and the tangles are almost zero. After today I expect my hair to improve with time. Now I'm a believer in Louise Marie Longhairs Products. I won't ever go back to the "flammable glycols". Thank you so much for your help in healing my hair.

P.S. I really thought all those "medic" named products were for someone with dandruff, scales and gross scalp problems. Now I understand they stimulate and nourish. Live and Learn. :)

(Shining in Texas USA)

Hi Louise Marie, thanks for the advice for the special occasion. I used the #18 and let it penetrate the scalp for about an hour. Then I used the #27 Chillout spray. I washed with #8 Hairgasm and #9 and dried my hair upside down, and then used a little bit of curly cream. It worked nicely. The hair dried quickly, there was more volume, and the hair was soft but strong. The curly cream made it shinier. It wasn't fly-away like I was afraid it would be. I don't usually wear my hair down, but this was a special occasion, and I got a lot of compliments.

Thank you Louise Marie.

(Eastern USA)

ok, first 3 days i got my Magicpack, i used #18, #6 and the 9 Trees conditioner. (well, actually i went insane because they all smelled so good so basically i sat opening all the bottles and sniffed them.) washed my head, went to bed, woke up in the morning. now, usually for my hair to look body-ful and floofy, i must blow dry it upside down, yadda yadda all that crap, but when i woke up, without doing anything else to it, it was FLOOFY! and SOFT! i have never seen my hair look like this. it's as soft as a four year olds!!! and it's full of body!!!

after 3 days, i used #3 shampoo. (this is going to be gross, but this way you know.) i had (pre-Louise Marie Longhairs product days) these icky little itchy raw spots on my head, seborhea i think it's called, and when i used the #3 stuff, those little raw spots scabbed over, and the scabs fell off, and left new pink, non itchy, non raw stuff underneath. how the hell you managed that, i do not know, nor do i care. all i know is my scalp is reeeally nice now.

i love the #11 Magic spray. i LLLLOOOOOOVVVEEEE it. (sorry this is so damn long, but so are the effects of your products, so there :P ) usually, i drive with my windows open. and then my hair is FULL of snarls, acutally my hair usually is snarly, , and just one day into your products i am so serious here, i have NO tangles. i went swimming yesterday, sprayed some #11 Magic on my hair after, didn't comb it, and when it dried, it only needed the tiniest bit of brushing. usually i'd have to sit forever combing it out.

I LOVE THE #19 HONEY BEE LONG HAIR CONDITIONER. my god it smells so good. and my hair is soooo soft! (i'm going to be ordering alot of the #19 honey stuff and another #9 tree rinse in a few days, i'll warn you ahead of time).

before, by the end of the day, my hair would look dusty and stringy, and now even when i get up the next morning, my hair still looks clean and shiny and untangly! you are magic! you know that?!?!?

thank you so much for the pony tailers you send along, they are perfect for karate and work! (ooo, i feel so cute in karate, i caught sight of my hair in the mirrors when we were doing round house kicks, it swung around, all preetty and stuff)

...and the Flexifinger pick! dear god in heaven, i love that thing, cause if i hit a little tangle, i can feel the tension in the comb before i pull too hard on my hair! thank you so much! (i ate all the gum in one day, mmmmm). so the only ones i've tried so far and reviews( i've found i don't need to wash my hair everyday with you stuff cause it stays clean in between):

#6 shampoo- smells mAAhvelous, super shiny hair, scalp didn't itch so damn bad. #9 Tree Rinse- absolutely no tangles in my hair afterwards, soft and floofy. #3 shampoo- brand new scalp. no raw itchies left at all. #19 Honey Bee-Long Treatment; i could eat it it smells so good. hair soft as a baby's. again, makes my hair floofy.

#11 Magic spray- name says it all. i'm permanently addicted. protein shampoo-hair felt immediately soft and thick, strong. super shiny. i feel like rapunzel. now, reactions from people: mom- thought i put my hair on velcro rollers since it had body. Ben- too busy petting my hair to say anything... aunt- commented how shiny and pretty it looked the real shocker: dad and brother (who never notice ANYTHING): commented on it being shiny.

you RULE! take care!

Although I have used other popular lines with very good results, I have to say that I like the Louise Marie Longhairs products the best of all, hands down. I think that they are all very good products. But Louise Marie has been best of all for me in terms of eliminating tangling, better scalp health, no more dried out ends or frizzies or flyaways, no buildup whatsoever. Plus I've been enjoying the awesome customer service they offer. If you're having trouble with your hair or a question, and you email you will get answered very promptly. The downside, as with many product lines, can be cost depending how many different products you use. I alternate through a bunch of different shampoos and conditioners in the Louise Marie line, so my initial hit was pretty good sized (I made it a Christmas present to myself! ;o) ) But now it's not so bad. And you have to order ahead of when you think you are running out (here's hoping I don't forget in the future!).

So I guess the final answer is that they are all good products, but some work better for others. I had success with them all, but Louise Marie's has been the best for me. Good luck to anyone in finding the best products for you! It makes such a difference!

"...I couldn't have been happier..." Just wanted to let you know that I tried out Trees and I've tried out Honey Bee-Long treatment. I like Trees, although I think I like Lilith and Protein conditioners a bit better. Trees will be good for me in the summer, because it makes my hair super light and fluffy. Lilith makes my hair light and fluffy, but smooth, and Protein makes my hair feel strong and thick. :o) The Honey Bee-Long treatment was a real treat. My hair just soaked it up and when I rinsed out my hair, and followed with the recommended rinse, I couldn't have been happier. The Honey Bee-Long really improved the feel and texture of my hair quite a bit. I am still very happy with all of your products and let my Honey take the sampler of PEP SC Shampoo home with him. He loves the way it smells, cleans and stimulates his scalp. It makes his beautiful light blond hair very shiny. I have a feeling that I will have to continue sharing products with him! Luckily, his hair is really short so he won't use much! ;o) I am so looking forward to having you take care of my hair this Spring. Not sure when to make the appointment for yet (because I don't know how long it will take for me to get settled in my new home and get a new job), but when I'm ready, I will definitely request an appointment. I want my hair to look extra nice for the summer when I let it all down! ;o) At any rate, my hair is very happy and I thank you for everything This morning, I massaged with #18 SOS Medic Scalp Oil and then popped into the shower and used Protein shampoo and 10B again. I thought that my hair could use some serious fortifying. My hair still likes it and took the proteins better than even the last time. Scalp is very happy too -- it feels light (not tight or dry) and I still get that faint impression of increased circulation/health. What a nice change. Yes, you have my order down perfectly. Please do go ahead and send that order. My Mom is going to be so pleasantly surprised with the comb I'll be giving her. :o) Ooh, thank you for the gift decanter! I will be, as always, anxiously awaiting my wonderful parcel of hair goodies!

(African and Native South Carolina USA)

Well it's now been approx. 3 months since I started with my Louise Marie's products, and let me tell you, I would not use any other products in my hair, anything else would just not do it for my very finicky (wavy-to-curly-coloured-medium-textured)hair.

After 3 months of use I have settled in with a regular routine, and I no longer have to think beforehand what the next step is.

Here is my downpack routine: Evening - I use protein #10-B sometimes #10-A, as a pre-treat, dampen my hair a little with my hand then apply protein and put my hair in a bun, this really helps to comb out tangles in the morning. As well some nights I will spray on Chill out on my Scalp.

Morning: with #18 SOS massage oil, I take at least 5 mins sometimes more, (on Weekends) to massage my scalp, usually after I spray on #27 Chillout, I leave this combination on for 5 - 10 mins, then I jump in the shower.

I always switch shampoos every three days, for 4 days I condition with protein A, comb out, rinse. After I retreat with Protein #10-B, never #10-A, Protein #10-B, is the lighter of the two proteins, so it won't leave you hair greasy.

I always touch up my tips with #13 Blisstips, and moving upwards to the more dry prone mid area. for 3-4 days I use #9 Trees as my conditioner and as usual I still retreat with protein #10-B and follow up with #13 Bliss. That is pretty much my regular routine.

Once in a while I miss taking a shower as I am in a rush or just wanted to sleep an extra 15 mins that morning, on those days, I just dampen from the middle to the ends of my hair and apply protein B & Blisstips and leave. Sometimes I also use LML #11 Magic leave in condition and just spray it on dry hair.

I should mention however that the night before I don't pre-treat if I feel tired, and think that the next morning I will just treat my hair and run.

This is my whole routine in a nutshell, I always have time even on the run to use Louise Marie Longhairs products.

It's an on-going process that I don't mind doing as I keep picturing the resulting long, silky hair.

(wavy-to-curly-coloured-medium-textured in USA)

I have a definite success story to tell you today. As we discussed a few days ago over the phone, I have been using the camomilla cream on my face for about a week and a half. The cream has done wonders for my skin. At first, I used the cream about 3 or 4 times a day in small amounts.

My skin was in terrible shape before I started using your cream. The skin was dry, red from irritation and it had small bumps or pimples. It had been very imbalanced for a very long time. The bumps usually come as a result of the imbalance. I had very little natural oils or moisture left on my face. Honestly my skin had never been properly balanced.

This is how I started out: Week 1: The first day I used Hypericum cream for 2 rounds. This did not seem to make very much of a difference except to smooth out the skin a little. On the second day, I used the camomillia and noticed a big difference after the second application. I have been using it up to 4 times a day in small amounts for 1 week. During that week, I did have some bouts of irritation from the shower and the cold weather, but if I used the camomillia on my skin in the evening and again before bed, the irritations were gone by the next morning.

I used the cream in the morning and then again in the afternoon and evening. If I was going out on certain days I would put the Face Cream moisturizer on under my make-up. That added lots of emolients.

Week 2: What I have noticed is that my skin is slowly becoming a bit more tolerant of the elements. It doesn't get quite as red when I go outside into the cold or come out of the shower. So now I use the cream 2 to 3 times a day with great results. During the last 3 days I have not used the face cream, only the camomillia and things look great.

Also, I have two other important points; My skin has problems just prior and during my period. It always becomes imbalanced, irritated and acne prone. This started yesterday during the day probably after I had to walk in the cold outside. I had a row of pimples and some general redness. I put the camo. cream on last night (twice) and everything has disappeared.

The other thing I found out is that when I get a really large red mark either from sensitivity due to rubbing my skin too hard or whatever the reason, I use a dot of the lipbalm you make and it will take that red mark away in a few hours!

The last note is that I have begun exfoliating very, very gently. The skin was sensitive at first, but again, the cream supported it then too and helped with keeping it moist.

This too is a process and I am noticing a remarkable change to my natural skin oils. It's the first time in my life...I don't even have this during the summer!

(from North York Ontario Canada)

Today is the one year anniversary of my becoming a member. I started by LMLonghairs voyage by a long distance trip to the non-salon where I met Louise Marie and had a "hair changing" experience.

When I first saw LML I had hair just past my shoulders and it was "blunt cut". I had been growing it out for two years...since experimenting with short hair. I had a bad step in my hair length around my ear. And I had some twizzly hairs that LML showed me as being root damaged hairs.

I won't go into the details of that first non-salon visit any further. That day I had my fiance take pictures of me (/my hair) from the front and the back so I could compare later. I took home my magicpack and started experiementing. Since that day I have not once used a product other than Louise Marie's. I have faithfully scrubbed my scalp with #18 every day. ANd, washed every day (rather than my previous every other day). And, the biggest change I made was to wash my hair rightside up in the shower...I had to buy swimmer's ear plugs to convince myself to do that one.

It's been a long haul. I've struggled with twizzlies. And fuzzies. And dry feeling hair. I've learned a lot along the way. My hair has undergone a major shape change after three LML cuts. At this point it is bra strap length (just barely, at the longest point) and has a "natural" curve at the bottom, rather than being blunt cut. My hair feels totally different in texture. A lot less "plastic". It's regained some of the colour it had lost (I was becoming more of that sun-bleached straw colour with each passing year). The character of my hair's shine has totally changed from being a surface gloss (like a polished wax) to being a deep shine. Also, I think my hair is thicker than it used to be. It seems to have more body/volume.

Possibly the best change for my hair has been that I rarely get tangles any more. Even when I wear collars. For most of my life my hair has been this length (except that experimenting with short hair three years ago). All along I had to wear it in ponytails most of hte winter to avoid knots at the nape of my neck. Not any more.

The best change overall has been the total elimination of the eczema from my scalp. I have fairly bad atopic allergic dermatitis and have struggled with it for my whole life. For years I have had to periodically treat my scalp with an alcohol based strong steroid to prevent my eczema patches from getting worse/getting infected. I haven't had more than a day or two of trouble in the last year. A remarkable turnaround. The skin on my hands and my face has also dramatically improved with use of LML products.

I have an appointment to go see "the hair doctor" next weekend in Toronto. I plan to take my one year anniversary pictures both tonight, and after LMLs ministrations on the weekend. I expect I will see a real difference in the photos.

So, hang tight and keep writing in those Diaries. With Louise Marie's guidance, and a little bit of patience, you can have the best hair of your life!

(Canada)

I just ordered all the shampoos in 8oz bottles. I wanted that so bad after I got addicted to how well they work on my skin. I bought some #18 because I've been using more. My boyfriend will be moving into my apt in Feb. and I told him I'd take care of the "cleansing" bill - I love how your stuff has cleared up his shave bumps and makes his skin soft. I told him he has to wash with your shampoos if he wants to share my shower (it keeps my shower cleaner too!). I'm so excited. I forgot to order my extra 16 oz #2 to use as handsoap. I carry a little teeny bottle of it to use in my purse when I'm away from home so I can wash my hands with good stuff. I'm going to go do that now!

(getting in a lather in Northern USA)

My boyfriend has been washing with longhairs [side note: he used another brand shampoo the other day and he said it burned!] The other day I noticed how the hair on his arms was reflecting different colors. I knew he had a few red whiskers, but now I can see those red hairs on his arms in the sunlight too! I liked watching the sparkles of different colors come off his forearms in the sun.

The hair on my arms looks gold against my tanned skin. I don't have to buy body glitter - I have my own :-)

(Michigan USA)

I should update you on my man's hair. He's been doing 18 scrubs every morning like you suggested and he uses whatever shampoo I use for his hair/body. He uses #9 alot too (I think it's the smell). Anyways, he keeps showing everybody the new little hairs on his balding head. Even my mom said his hair looked thicker. She asked him if he was using [over-the-counter hair growth product]. We told her that he was using my stuff, which she's seen before. His head and forhead match now - it used to be that his forhead had dry, flaky skin on it and his scalp had a waxy shine. Now it's much more consistant and the skin has a warm, shimmery glow to it. His head is really soft too :-) He says that he wants to help me pay for my Longhairs products. I must admit I feel like giggling a bit when I think of my balding boyfriend using products called Longhairs.

(Michigan)

The flakes are gone! So I decided to try doing #27 every other day. My scalp got sensitive though. I will try #27 every day for a little longer. I have noticed that #18 feels cool on my scalp now. It rarely did that before, but now it feels tingly and cool almost every morning. Feel free to share this message with other longhairs because it took me about a year and a half for my scalp to finally stay clear consistantly! It still is sensitive and you told me at my last visit that my scalp is still a bit tight and thin. I know I still have longer to go until my scalp is up to it's full potential.

I used to put gel and volumizer on my roots before I started the Longhairs line. It really contaminated my scalp.

(clear sailing in Michigan USA)

I love LML's #27 Chillout Spray.

If you haven't thrown away your deodorant for #27 Chillout Healing Spray yet, you are missing out.

I always hated deodorant. It stained most of my 100% cotton clothing. I tried many brands too, and I still got stains. Plus, when I sweated, the deodorant and sweat made my armpits feel oily and disgusting. I never understood why my armpits should sweat more that other parts of my body.

Based on my experience, they sweat more BECAUSE of deodorant/anti-perspirant. I believe it clogs the skin and you sweat more to detoxify the nasty deodorant. It also blocks air from getting to the skin to evaporate the sweat. #27 Chillout does the opposite.

#27 Chillout Spray lets my skin purge so I don't have to sweat excessively. It also inhibits bacteria so the smell is gone without contributing artificial smells. It chills out my armpits, so my body doesn't have to by sweating more.

#27 as a deodorant left my skin smelling skunky for a few minutes after using it as my skin purged and detoxified itself. After a few weeks, that smell went away and has a more mint-like smell that I enjoy.

I use it on my feet when I wear sandals too. My old foot deodorant was terrible.

Unfortunately, I seem unable to thoroughly clean the deodorants out of some of my clothes and sandals.

I spray #27 all the way from my upper arm down my side to my mid-section after getting out of the shower and drying off. I then work on my hair, brush my teeth, etc. and spray a second misting of #27 Chillout on my armpits only. I find this to work the best.

Sometimes I will use #27 Chillout again in the late afternoon/evening. I like that it rids the smell instead of covering it up. My armpits sweat as much as the rest of my body now - no less, no more.

I also Chillout my face and ears every morning as directed. I had my hearing checked not that long ago and the woman put a tiny camera in my ear to look around and said she never saw clean ears like mine before.

I don't put #27 Chillout into my ear, but somehow it keeps the entire ear canal clean!

I've used #27 Chillout Healing Spray for so much - paper cuts, itchy skin, cooling off after working out, etc. Of course, I use #27 Chillout on my scalp too :)

Louise Marie OK'd that I add this to my previous post after our Non-Salon conversation about #27 Chillout Spray this weekend:

I chill out my ears by spraying on #27 Chillout Spray, and then rubbing the ear with a wet cottonball with some #27 Chillout on it already (I already used the cotton ball on my face).

When I spray the #27 Chillout on my ears, I can actually feel the water in my ears come right out**. No need to jump up and down and tap the side of your head :-)

Louise Marie also suggested that I spray my feet with #27 every morning.

If I remember correctly, it had something to do with using #27 Chillout Spray some form of hydrotherapy*.

Notes from LM;*(hydrotherapy; cold water therapy on the feet raises the immune levels) **(#27 actually disperses the water there in my ear;)

I know this is a really long post, but I really, really, REALLY love my #27!!!
