Ask the expert: Conditioner for thin hair
Q:
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
A:
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
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
