Cholesterol.
If you’re like most people, you just cringed, like I mentioned the anti-Christ. So imagine how aghast I was when I saw that tube of Queen Helene Cholesterol Hot Oil Treatment on the shelf at Ricky’s.
Then I recalled that line from Sea Biscuit. “Sometimes all someone needs is a second chance.” Suddenly, my heart went out to that little tube of cholesterol and next thing I knew, it was in my hair.
You just soak the tube in hot water for 1 minute. Then massage it into wet hair and scalp. Wait 3 minutes and rinse it out with water.
You’re probably picturing cholesterol oil to be the consistency of something you’d have sucked out of your thighs, but it’s actually extremely lightweight, rinses out easily and leaves no oily residue behind.
similar to the contents of someone’s liposuctioned thigh.
I wondered where Queen Helene got the cholesterol (and could I donate some of mine- to me.)
Turns out the source of the cholesterol is actually Lanolin, an ingredient derived from sheep's wool -no sheep are hurt in the process. (Lanolin is chiefly a mixture of cholesterol and the esters of several fatty acids.)
Now I’m off to see if I can get the same spectacular effect with cholesterol derived from a bag of potato chips via my mouth.
I knew there was bad cholesterol and good cholesterol.
To find out where you can buy it at the best price, feel free to use the "search the web" box to the right.

Cholesterol in skin care products is also great :)

Interesting...what does it do in terms of volume? I have wavy hair and I swear every time I use anything oil-ish on my hair, it kills all the volume I have at the roots and I end up looking like Morticia Addams.

Hi Elle,
Hmm. I too have wavy hair but I blew out my hair the two times I used it. It was very lightweight and didn't add any weight to my hair but it did make it super silky and sleek with no spilt ends or frizz so I'm not sure if it would effect volume. If I give it a try when I don't blow dry my hair I'll let you know what the volume effect is:)
thanks
Jenny

Queen Helene products are awesome....this stuff has saved my hair from breaking off from over-bleaching more times than I'd like to admit!

Hey Elle,
Just report back on the volume thing. I used the oil the other day (still blowdrying) but paying attention to how it effects volume. My hair is wavy and has a lot of volume and I had to use another product after just to weight my hair down so I don't think it would create the Morticia Adams effect.

Awesome--thanks, Jenny! I'll have to try this out. You might have a bit more volume than me, but my hair's been fried from the summer and it needs some help. Thanks again!
