    My wife has never been able to maintain silky hair here in UK. She spends a fortune on all different shampoo. She even washed her hair in distilled water. She claims nothing works. Thing is, whenever we visit Phils her hair gets just the way she likes it.
    The British weather is second on the list. She says British weather is the same as British people .....Unpredictable!!

    Sorry, but think about it.

    The rain falls, it gets collected and used, then goes into the sea, where it evaporates and forms clouds, then it rains ......... thus all water is re.cycled

    .... lack of moisture makes it dry!!!

    Compared to the Phil the UK, although we here may not thing so, we have less humidity than the Phil, so some Filipina's with develop dry hair, dry skin, etc.... plenty of different shampoos, lotions around to help. I have the same problem when I got to Nevada, the air is so dry I start flakin, and within the week I've totally vanished......

    Wow your brave, I couldn`t take to cold showers there despite the heat, I had to resort to filling buckets with cold water and topping up with a kettle full of hot water and then using the scoop.

    When first arriving it may also be worth investigating if any vitmain or minernal supplments are needed. Plenty of Phills I know eat far more fish, loads more fruit and vegtables when in Phill.

    But of course the foods they know are often far more expensive or un obtainable at least in the quanities they are used to.

    So some of our more medically qualified Phill uk forum family members may want to comment but at least for a short term fix possibly multi vitamins and minerals plus may be fish oil (cod liver oil capusles )which seems to have a postive effect on hair skin and nails i belive

    Pedicure seems to be the other big issue!!! Again Ladies when you fly over make sure your pedicure kit is in your suitcase so its not confiscated as a sharp item/s when going though customs
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
