      I love the Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat. I love to change the color of my nails, but I rarely have time to wait an hour for them to get REALLY dry. I also love the really awesome colors some of the less expensive brands put out, but they never last as long. I bought my first Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat about three months ago and I love it! It’s much cheaper than some of the top lines and it works wonders. I can wear $2 nail polish for days without chipping or pealing – even if I wash the dishes. Impressed!

      Is it straight? SOrry or that lengthy comment!!

      • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

        Hi Namra,
        Have you tried washing your hair more often? Some women find they may need to cleanse their hair every day or even every other day. Find a regimen that works for you. And for product suggestions, head to your local beauty supply store and ask the sales clerk for some recommendations for oily hair.

    5. Namra Wajid says:

      Is MY HAIR STRAIGHT???

    6. Bonita Apatang says:

      my hair always gets dry and damage ! i dont know what to do. i’ve tried different shampoos and ointment but still the same. what is the best way to solve this problem?
      please help

      • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

        Hi, Bonita!
        Look for a conditioner with protein or keratin. This type of conditioner helps to rebuild the hair and a leave-in conditioner coats the hair, making it feel thicker. You can also disguise the damage by wearing clip-in hair extensions.

    7. Lori says:

      Question….certain top level products like Aveda for example cause me to get sore spots on the scalp. Any idea what ingredient could cause that so I can avoid products with that ingredient? Thanks!

      • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

        Hi, Lori!
        We’re working on an answer for you—visit soon!

    8. Paola says:

      I’m not a fan of the Paul Mitchell shampoo. It leaves my hair feeling weird and stringy (even though I make sure to wash it all out). :/

      • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

        Hi, Paola!
        Everyone’s hair reacts differently to different products. Keep checking the magazine and this section of the website for more recommendations!

    9. Taylor says:

      hey is tresemme a good brand to try? if not what is a good drugstore brand for colortreated hair???

      • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

        Hi, Taylor!
        With so many brands on the market, it’s hard to recommend just one product for each person that visit’s our site. However, we do recommend looking for a sulfate-free shampoo to take care of your color-treated hair. Check in with your hairstylist (who will know the condition of your hair and scalp just as good as you do!) and ask for specific recommendations.

    10. rhonda barclay says:

      Thematrix sleek look line of products step 1234 are really good for for straightening

    11. rhonda barclay says:

      I love morocanoil intense hydrating mask it really hydrates and replenish your hair with alot of moisture

      • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

        Hi, Rhonda!
        Great tip! Have you seen the February issue of Sophisticate’s with Christina Aguilera on the cover? Check out our exclusive interview with Castle star Molly Quinn…she loves Moroccanoil!

    12. Donna says:

      I Love & use Moroccan oil after every hair wash. Before straightening, also if I color my hair @ home. You add about 5 ml drop into haircolor & mix well. I also put some moroccan oil on towel dried hair b4 I color. I wait till hair dries. Just adding some 2 the color itself makes your hair color much shinier, softer. Just great for your hair! I have alot of family & friends who are addicted to it now!

      • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

        Hi Donna!
        We’re happy you found a product that works for you. Now for the styling! Check out our 32nd Anniversary issue (the one with Katy Perry on the cover!) for some inspiration.
