Should I still brush my curly hair?
Yes! Brushing with our Longhairs® Kinder Brush with a puff of our #11 Magic Spray on dry Kinder brush dry hair actually removes dead hairs as well as gently exercising roots by pulling evenly. Dead hairs left there will spoil your curl long term, so yes, but only before pre-treating at night. Overnight your hairs […]
What is the difference between your Kinder Brushes and regular brushes?
Our special Longhairs® Kinder Brushes will increase hair’s shine, manageability, strength, and circulation. They keep dust from causing tangles and aid in the removal of dead hair, leading to better regrowth and also less deadwood to soak up the moisture balance. Our bristles are hand-set in a way that feels quite sensual. Most uniquely, when used in conjunction […]
Are hot rollers harmful to my hair?
Hot rollers are probably the least harmful of the heat tools, and it’s hard to do anything wrong with these when using our products. Hot rollers are definitely better to use than a styling tool that gets hotter and hotter; hot rollers go in hot and cool down. With almost all of the hair care products that […]
Do I need to follow the ‘blanching’ with a cool rinse?
No, that’s only with vegetables and macaroni! We have a perfectly-timed product closure time and effects that other (build-up) products need to be forced into. Just say “NO” to cool rinses! It is not recommended as we get plenty of shine without it. And no, doing it anyway (the ‘more is better’ approach) will not […]
Should I pile my hair on top of my head when I shampoo?
No! Please! We’re not shooting drugstore shampoo commercials here, so let’s look at this logically: this is done for show on TV. It doesn’t work for long hair; it’s what shorthairs do. If you do wash this way, your hair will tangle badly, so please don’t stack the hair when you shampoo (or condition for […]
I’ve been told that I have “dry hair” – why don’t you make “products for dry hair” labeled as such for my condition?
Are you decidedly, categorically DRY? Dry hair, as far as the hair products marketing racket goes, is a selling category (a symptom rather) and not a permanent condition. The mass-market products sell you a product that keeps you IN that category, so they can continue to market to your type. ‘Dry hair’ CAN BE and is […]
Why isn’t the conditioner sold separately, so it can be used with other brands of shampoo?
Because the nature of our products are so different than other lines, ours need to be used together for the best results. Our shampoos and conditioners (link opens new tab) were carefully and specifically made for each other, and interact together like a marriage or match made in heaven, therefore they are sold together.
I simply adore your products the way I AM using them. Even if it is different, is it wrong?
One of the reasons Louise Marie Longhairs went to all the effort to create and share her products is just to make you happy, and if you are happy we are happy too! When you’re that different, you have to! Our instructions were designed to produce the very best results (if you came to the studio, she […]
Why aren’t product ingredients listed on your bottles or on your websites?
It is because our products are so profound and our ingredients are secret. It’s not just what is used, it’s how it’s used. Producing a great product for a specific audience and for good people often involves trust – trust not found in corporations that own most hair product lines. In Canada our quality controls protect […]
At my age, women tell me to cut my hair short – do I really have to?
NO. Our clients don’t worry about such ideas. Some types of women’s competitive ideas make others want to ‘even the score’. Don’t buy into it! The opinionators will just have to try harder on themselves, especially if you are naturally more attractive to the opposite sex visually AND as an independent thinker! If you can’t […]
