• Ask the expert: Conditioner for thin hair

    Question:

    I too have thin hair, and have decided not to dye it anymore - grey is sexy!  I only dyed it about 3 times anyway with L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss, and the wee containers of Royal Jelly Conditioner are super light for thin hair, and last me ages.

    Now that I'm coming to the end of my final container I will need to buy conditioner.  Can you please tell me if L'Oreal sells this conditioner, or suggest what brand to use instead.

    I don't have time in the mornings to stand in the shower for ages washing out conditioner.

    Many thanks, Jenny, Christchurch

    Answer:

    Unfortunately the people at L'Oreal say the conditioner that comes with Casting Creme Gloss isn't available to buy separately.

    They recommend L’Oréal Paris Elvive Nutri-Gloss as a substitute.  While this product doesn’t include royal jelly it penetrates the hair fibre for healthy results, without weighing it down, making it perfect for thin hair. You should only need to leave it in for a couple of minutes to see results.

    It costs $15.99 and you'll find it in supermarkets or department stores.

Over the Teacups

While out walking with our fouryear- old granddaughter, she became grizzly and irritated so my husband decided
to lift her onto his shoulders to carry her. Having only taken a few steps, she said to me, “Nana, Papa has got paint in his hair.” I looked up and realised she was talking about his new white strands coming through. Kids – you’ve got to love them.
