Hair Talk with JoJo

the Haircare Expert

Q. My hair is 30 to 40 percent gray, and I've been dying it black. It now looks green. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

A. Most dark hair dyes have a green base that will show when you try to darken light gray hair. Using another dye or tint to correct the green cast may cause breakage. I suggest you seek professional help. Most stylists who deal with color treated hair will know how to neutralize the green cast without damaging your hair.

Q. I was in your salon wig shopping, and I saw you doing a Jheri curl. I wore a curl years ago. I loved it, and it really grew my hair. I just hated keeping my hair wet and messing up my clothes and bed sheets with activators and moisturizers. Are Jheri curls making a comeback? Have they fixed the wet hair part, and are they safe?

A. Yes Jheri curls or cold waves are making a comeback. The Chemicals are milder, so they don't need the extra juice that makes wet dripping hair. They can be worn virtually dry. As far as safety goes, the curl is a lot safer than they were years ago. Every day we are exposed to a variety of activities or products that could, under certain circumstances, cause harm. There's a potential for harm or injury in nearly everything we engage in. As I looked up the cancer causing ingredients in hair straightners, I found them in almost everything we eat and use. In the old days, stylists had to be trained and licensed to even buy the chemicals. Now they learn from YouTube and Tick-Tock. I suggest that any chemical service you might try should be done by a licensed professional.

Q. My sister is in her 70's and has started chemotherapy. She's never worn a wig before. What kind would you suggest? Human hair or synthetic?

A. Both styles can work out great. Synthetic girlfriends are usually less expensive, are offered in more colors, and have style memory. That means you can wear them for months, and they will keep their style. Most human hair wigs last longer but need more maintenance. Usually after wearing them, their curls will drop. They will need to be either wet set, flat ironed, or re-curled.
