I never knew that! How is it done? Can a regular hair dresser laminate it? I learn something new every day!

Laminate is a coating. Does that mean it adds protection to the hair, gives it more body and makes it stronger? How do they do this?
Does it wear off? How does it affect hair dye?
This is neat. Usually, when something 'new' comes out, it ends up being some old tired concept with a new name. I have never heard of this.
Well, about a week or so ago I tied using conditioner for "shampoo" on my oily hair as suggested by someone else. I have experiemented with this and have had great results. As I mentioned before, I have been shampooing my hair every day for almost my whole life, even though I figured it probably wasn't good for your hair to do that I felt like I just was not "clean" unless I did it. Now I'm shampooing w/shampoo every other day and do the conditioner "shampoo" on the other days. I've been rinsing with cold water too as others have suggested. It works great! I tried going three days without the real shampoo, but my hair just felt "gunky" all day, so I think I'll continue with the every other day, then maybe later on I'll try to go further. Thanks for all the info!
On another subject, I've also been using the Sabino Hair products, the brand mentioned on another thread, but different products. As I needed volume and holding power in my hot humid climate! I'm using their volumizer and finishing spray. I LOVE it! My hair has never held volume for so long and without feeling stiff. The folks at Sabino are awesome to deal with and extremely prompt. Love them!!

Some stylist on tv claimed that model's hair, if only shampooed with no other preparation on it, would look better the day after they had washed it, when it had a bit of dirt to give it more body. I find that this is the case with my hair.

No kidding? I gotta do "something" w/my hair and get it wet etc...I have short, straight hair and when I get out of bed in the a.m. it looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket!!! LOL, LOL But seriously, when I at least wet and put conditioner on it in the shower w/out the shampooing w/shampoo, I'm finding it looks pretty good!
Thanks to all of you. I don't need to condition my hair and have lots of old conditioner. Now I have a use for it. Yup, that cold water seems to be the best for removing the excess gunk from your hair. Maybe traces of the shampoo or condtioner get trapped in the cuticle and when the cold water closes the cuticle the gunk gets removed.
Come to think of it, we do a cold water rinse on clothing, too. Same principle?
Dishwashing - hot water seems to make the soap foam up. Cold water seems to strip it off without foaming so much.
If your hair is already tending to be greasy I would not condition with oils.
I'm glad the conditioner/shampoo worked. There are new shampoos on the market which are non-sudsing. The suds are caused by that sodium laurel-something which also strip color and perhaps the sheen, as well.
Also, keep in mind that over time if your initial results wane use a harsh shampoo a few times to strip off any residue.
I, too, have fine hair and will try the conditioner only. Thank you for the suggestion, whoever suggested it.
I second the cool water rinse idea. I have been doing this for a final rinse for years and my hair is very looong and healthy. You could also try doing an ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) rinse, mix about a 1/4 cup ACV to 1 cup of very warm water and follow with a cold water rinse. Of course everyone's hair is different and will react differently to these methods, but it is worth a try. If you would like, you can Google longhairgypsyrose.weebly for more info on my hair care tips. Good Luck.

This is how my hair is...
It looks better the less I wash it.
My hair is long and very thick (plus a bit wavy) but I actually have the problem of too much volume.
So after I wash it, it gets all crazy as it is drying...
It definitely falls better the next day or few days afterwards...
Lately I've been doing the organic coconut oil treatment which has given me wonderful results in taming the waves & thickness the day after, and haven't had to resort to my usual flat ironing process.
Praise the lord!

Update on using conditoner to "shampoo"
LOL, LOL But seriously, when I at least wet and put conditioner on it in the shower w/out the shampooing w/shampoo, I'm finding it looks pretty good!
