Am I the only one who has dedicated a section of my hair to practicing new techniques? I mess with the very front of my hair, at a 2" by 1" section (2" along hairline, 1" deep) to see how it reacts to a product or styling technique, before applying the product/technique to the rest of my hair. Yesterday, I tried blowdrying (I don't know how to do it) and it was snap, crackle, pop, and I was thinking how grateful I was that I was doing it on my practice section. The section is drier than the rest of my hair b/c it is a bit abused but it still grows well and just looks like I grew out bangs (which I did--the section was once a set of bangs I had cut in).
Anyway, I think it's a good idea to have that section so that you don't risk the entire head of hair.

Lusters Pink Oil Lotion was like brillo pad on my hair. Fortunately, I tested it on the front section (last four inches of my ends) only a few days after I came from the salon. My hair was hard as steel wool. 
I even set some aside and doctored it up, since I had a big bottle--which I bought on sale. I thought I would have to cut this section off. 
I had to press it and apply an oil blend to get it soft and supple again. Then I ended up giving it away, but for some people it works nice. 
I said: "Yes, when you press it after you apply it with an oil blend."
and keep it moving!
