Leather Sofa Staining!!!?

The problem is that my grandma dyed her hair using "Loreal". But she sat on the new leather sofa when it was still wet. We discovered it about half an hour later so we SCRUBBED it. But, cappicino color leather sofa, the color came a little off. We didn't know what to do so we used non-acetone nail polish remover which completely removed the color (1-inch in diameter). Then, my stupid mom put NAIL POLISH ON THE part where the color came off!!!! So now we have nail polish on our sofa...which is about 1 inch in diameter!!1



What to do...please help...quick points....



Leather Sofa Staining!!!?

I have worked on similar problems several times so give grandma and mum a little break. The use of "cappacino" is the concern here as it probably means a mottled leather ( the more natural looking finished leathers that have a base tone and then a secondary color applied over it) this is advanced color matching and I would recommend being very choosy who you let try resolve. My company makes restore kits, but for this I would think the application really is not for a novice. Get reference from the "better" furniture stores in your area as to who they use; this is how alot of my clients found me.



Hope this helps



Leather Sofa Staining!!!?

You really need to call a leather technician to have a look at this problem. Using lots of different things and now ending up with nail varnish will have caused problems. Also depending on the type of leather you have will determine how much can be done.



if you are in the UK call LTT on 01423 881027 who have a network of trained leather technicians to do this type of work



Leather Sofa Staining!!!?

your best bet is to call out a tech from where you purchased the sofa. they have matching dyes to repair accidents like this. if you try something yourself, don't think it will give you the result your looking for. pay the money and have it fixed right, and learn from the experience.

Tresemme (people who have used it)?

I've used many shampoos and conditioners over the years and it seems like after a couple months go by (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter) they stop working. What I want in a shampoo is one that smells great (and the smell lasts), does what it says it's going to do or close to that, and is affordable. I have medium length dry/damaged color treated hair. After quite a while of browsing and comparing (I was stuck between Tresemme, Sunsilk, Aussie, Loreal Vive, SAMY, and Dove.. I've used Dove before and the reason I love it is cause the smell, and the smell lasts but I really wanted something new) I ended up choosing Tresemme and on the bottle it says "colour" and that it has Vitamin E in it, for color treated hair, etc. I also bought a Tresemme volumizing mousse.



If you have used Tresemme, please tell me what you think of it? Are you still using it? How long did you use it for before it seemed to lose its effect? Comments and criticism on the brand please? Thanks!



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

I still firmly believe the good stuff is best, go to your local salon for advice - they have tons of good products.



Also, if you have minerals in your water or very hard water (city or well water), try the Malibu 2000 products (Trade Secret) such as the Well Water Action shampoo %26amp; conditioner. There are also treatments for buildup removal.



I really like Tigi Catwalk Honey %26amp; Oatmeal shampoo %26amp; conditioner, but really it depends upon your hair issues.



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

I am a liscenced stylist...and I have used tressume forever...love it...use the conditioner in moderation if you have fine hair



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

ok so i thought i was the only one who's hair did that.. yes i have used tresseme! it does the same thing to me though.. after a couple months it stops working! i am down to the same brands that you are ... LOL although i use pantene also.. which i love the smell of but after a couple months i get build up... what i have been doing is every 2 weeks i switch.. i keep a stock of the ones i like and switch.... i have really long natural blonde hair... so its hard to find a good shampoo that doenst cost a million dollars a bottle.... good luck!



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

Tresemme is a great product thats what they use in the salon ive been using it for a year and keeps my hair healty and smells great all the time dove is great aswell thought it takes the natural oils out of the hair were tresemme keeps the natural oils in



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

Tresemme is yucky, it smells good, but makes my hair feel like straw. Honestly the best conditioner in the world is Head %26amp; Shoulders. It's sometimes hard to find just the conditoner, but it's worth the search!!!! I work at CVS and it's the only thing I recomend to my customers.



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

I've been using Tresemm'e for a while now, and I love it.



I buy the bottle with the blue label-- for normal hair.



I've also tried the orange label, (I think that's the one for color treated hair) and I didn't like it. Made my hair feel like straw.



But, the blue one is the best.



Don't bother with Sunsilk... its crap. Smells alright, but it did nothing for the manageability of my hair.



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

All products will eventually lose its effect becuase your hair simply gets used to it. To avoid this I usually have 2 different sets of shampoos %26amp; conditioners and alternate every week or 2 between both. I have tried Tresemme before but its a pretty cheap product (quality-wise that is). From all the shampoos I've ever tried the one that smells the best is made by Victoria Secret -- they have an array of smells to choose from for all types of hair. I believe they are about $8 a bottle (remember you can't go too cheap, you get what you pay for:)



Oh, I realize from this screen name u probably think I'm a guy but this is my boyfriends account!!!



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

Actually, you should change your shampoo regularly anyway. I always have at least three different kinds of shampoo and conditioner in my shower. I have used Tresemme before and loved the smell but it didn't really work for me for that long...I didn't re-purchase it after that. I love Charles Worthington, Samy, Pantene and Aussie but, my absolute favorite is Gilchrist %26amp; Soames Spa Therapy shampoo and conditioner-the smell is absolutely awsome and it lasts! (Gilchrist can be found at Gilchrist%26amp;Soames.com) I have also found that if you don't dry your hair completely, your shampoo smell lasts longer! (Let it air dry whenever you can.) Hope this helps...good luck!



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

I don't like it. It made my head itchy lol I use Aussie and i really like it and it smells good :) But every ones head is different so good luck in finding something you like :)



Tresemme (people who have used it)?

I have used Tresemme for a couple of years now and still love it. It smells great and I love that the conditioner is light and doesn't weigh my hair down. I use the kind for damaged hair and it seems to still work after all this time! If you have wavy or curly hair that you want to keep intact after getting out of the shower, I suggest trying Tresemme Restore Conditioning Leave-In Creme. It's really light, smells great, doesn't make your hair frizzy, and I can put it in damp/wet hair and it still looks good at the end of the day! Hope this helped!

Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

hi! i just got my hair highlighted yesterday. i brought my own kit from loreal, but the color didn't do anything, so they had to use the one from the salon in the end. the girl, who did it was quite slow, so one side is lighter than the other. i can deal with that, that happens, its highlights. i wanted to ask you, what shall i use, so the highlights don't wash out even lighter, i wouldn't want it lighter than it is now - speciallt the lighter side!



my hair is medium brown and the gihglights are kinda caramel color on one side, one part is slightly lighter than that - blond-ish.



thank you so much!



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

I wouldn't be happy if I had it done at the salon and it was different colours.



You need to go back to the salon and speak to the Manager.



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

Use a color protecting shampoo, like biolage.



If it gets too light, put some toner on it for a few minutes. That will bring the blonde down



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

i would dye your hair all one shade so that it is all even...then get the highlights professionally put in. DONT make them look too fake though!!!!!



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

I would suggest you simply condition your hair really well so the color will not fade. If you let the conditioner to stay on your hair for about 3-5 (sometimes 10) minutes you will be fine. One thing is you can never over condition your hair.



Hope this helps



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

With the highlight kit you bought it should have came with a conditioner. That maintains the color.



Or you can buy shampoo that's made especially for treating color hair.



I recommend you buy this at a salon.



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

Use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner. Also, dont go out in the sun too much. Sun dulls the color. Do regualr deep conditioning treatments.... Also you got ur hair haighlighted and colored, so dont wash your hair for atleast 48 hours straight. let the color lock in. Secondly, oil ur hair regualrly after that, keep it overnight and then wash it off. Dont forget to appy a leave in conditioner.



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

Your highlights won't wash out lighter, but they will get lighter. When you use a high lift process you open the cuticle and strip your natural pigment out.And unfortunately it just keeps getting lighter because the cuticle stays partly open.I would suggest toning it a shade darker on the lighter pieces to bring it all to caramel.Also Heat ,sun and minerals in your water will add to the lightening process.



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

Try Clairol Colorseal, I use it and it works great! http://www.clairol.com/niceneasy/colorse...



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

Go back to the salon and have them redo the darker side, it shouldn't take long since it already had been highlighted. Then have them put a toner over ALL of it so its even and not too light. You can choose the color of the toner, basically a toner is just a really light hair color with very little peroxide, and sometimes none at all. It removes any purple or orange "brassy" tones that sometimes happen where bleach is left on too long or not long enough. As far as your highlights washing out lighter, the only way that could happen is if your stylist already put on a toner and the toner fades out with normal washing. Use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner such as Redken (it comes in a red bottle) or Biolage. Good luck.

Has anyone tried Clairol Brass Free Dye?

I have a golden blonde color to my hair and I usually use Loreal or Clairol...Sometimes they leave my hair a little brassy so I try and use a color with more ash to it, but then I dont like the results...has anyone tried the new Brass Free product? Did you notice a difference? Where can I buy it?



Has anyone tried Clairol Brass Free Dye?

You will absolutely love the new Brass Busters. It's a special shade collection within Miss Clairol Permanent Haircolor that has been specifically formulated to cut brassiness.



You can pick up Brass Busters at your local Sally Beauty Supply store, or any other beauty supply store that carries Miss Clairol.



To find a Sally near you, visit http://www.sallybeauty.com and click on the store locator link.



The Miss Clairol shades specifically formulated to cut out brassiness are:



30D Flaxen blonde (level 9 - very light blonde)



32D Moonhaze (level 6 - dark blonde)



34D Hazy Mist (level 7 - medium blonde)

37D Iced Brown (level 4 - light brown)



42D Moongold (level 7 - medium blonde)



46D Chestnut Brown (level 4 - light brown)



Pick a level no more than 3 levels lighter than your natural, for the best results. If you want your hair lighter, I recommend that your base color is no more than 3 levels lighter than your natural. After you complete the base color, add some ash highlights to get an even lighter/more dimensional look.



Best wishes %26amp; Happy Coloring.

Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

I have loreal true color match, but i feel like it covers my face too much, even when i mix it with moisturizer. I have naturally dry skin and i'm trying to cover scars from old acne. Also, it makes the hair on my face really visible......even though i barely have any. HeLP?



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

you should try mac. i had this problem too. my make-up would also show but then i bought this foundation and it works great! remember to put a good moisturizer before putting foundation don't mix it. and for acne scars put a heavy concealer and then put the foundation over it. thats what i do and it covers them up pretty well. =] hope it works! and if that don't work try getting those little sponges to put foundation on and put water in it and squeeze it out; and then put foundation on it, and dab it on your face.



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

Lancome



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

You should try N.Y.C. cover up powder. It's called "Traslucent" and it looks like you are hardly wearing any makeup at all, but it hides things very well.



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

caryl baker cover up.... best stuff ever



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

I lovee sheer cover make up! They had an infomercial on it, and it works really well. Celebs use it too, and it blends in so nicely



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

mac quick fix powder is the best in my opinion. the mac workers will find the perfect shade for you. dont use the pad it comes with buy a powder brush that way it uses less and spreads more evenly on your face.



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

Bare Essentials is beautiful...I love it!



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

estee lauder double wear sounds like a mask doesn't feel like one 35.00 dollars a bottle last longer and you will thank me.



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

mac products work great



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

Revlon color stay

Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

BARE MINERALS!!!! i am absolutely obsesssssed with it!! it covers up my old acne scars perfectly and it isn't cakey or anything. I am tellling you. . .TRY IT!! it's the best thing on earth. Start off with the starter-kit. . .it's a little expensive (about $60) but it comes with the brushes and everything. The foundation itself is $18-$25. . .Please try it. I promise you will love it :)



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

I really like MAYBELLINE Dream Matte Mousse it looks so natural!



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

hmm i would try mary kay tinted moisturizer and then top it off with mary kay's loose powder (apply with a sponge)



I use mary kays medium coverage foundation and the loose powder and it works great for me... its sounds like you need a foundation that works more like a moisturizer.. but if you use a powder on top of it then it'll give you the coverage you need.



If you just apply a bit of powder on top of your foundation it'll really help make your face appear more flawless. Most girls overdo this part and end up looking really funky... the secret is just to apply a little to give a matte finish. (And after that I usually apply a shimmer powder to my cheek bones.) :)



contact a consultant and get a free facial... try out the products and find the color that matches you best...



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

In covering old acne scars you should use a light matte mousse type. It's goes on light and fills in problem areas. Better yet, it isn't shiny!



Maybelline.



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

Maybeline mouse%26lt;3



Does anyone know of a foundation that looks natural and not powdery when dry?

MAC tinted moustrizer its!! great and it looks totally natural it never gets powdery and its not to thick. ive never tried anything else since i started using it cuz it works so well. i like other MAC foundation but some are to thick and it feels liek im wearing a mask. i love MAC they have the best makeup ever and its really good quality and compared to some makeup its really cheap!!

Can someone tell me...?

Ok the Loreal Paris Color moouse Color Pulse.. i lost the directions and i think it sid to put it in when your hair is wet am i right?



Can someone tell me...?

don't know. but that stuff is crap.



Can someone tell me...?

well i would try bolth and whatever one works best for you just use it that way!



Can someone tell me...?

You can call the drugstore you bought it from or any one that carries it, and they'll just check it out for you over the phone. I've done that before!



Can someone tell me...?

I don't remember what it said, but a good tip is if your hair is darker than dirty blond, don't use it, even if it says it works on brown hair. It will not work. At all.

Big mistake?

i just colored my hair and it is way way way too dark. I look goth or something. I tried applying tide to lighten it and that didnt work. I want to use Loreal's le tru brunettes hair lightener b/c i've used it before with great results. How long should i wait to use that? my hair dosent get damaged easily. It is really strong, but i want to be safe and i dont want it to break off. What do you think?



Big mistake?

hey... same thing happened to me about 2 months ago. The first week of being darker than I had planned, took some getting used to. Putting more chemicals in your hair will weaken it and cause split ends and drying. I didn't use any other products, instead, I just did shampoos and conditioning every other day and the color began to fade. Actually, about 4 wks. after, the color it faded to was close to what I was hoping it would look like. Over the counter color kits don't last very long really.... 6 wks into it, the color is never the same anyway.... just wait it out, but if you can't..... go to a salon for help....



Big mistake?

you should at least wait a month



Big mistake?

well don't ever put black or dark co lours on your face then your skin will look whiter and you will turn into snow white!just don't worry about it!



Big mistake?

Do some deep conditioning... maybe even go in for hot oil treatment. But i agree, wait some time before you try it again... and go into have it done. They have stuff to take the colour out.



Big mistake?

Color OOps!!!



http://www.bizrate.com/haircare/oid53155...



Big mistake?

The hair colors always rinse out by the 5th washing .So just wait and it will lighten right up.The store hair color is never that good like a salon.You have nothing to worry about.
