I have naturally medium brown hair. Throughout high school I used to lighten it by getting tons of blonde highlights. In college I made the decision I wanted darker hair-which somehow always came out reddish. When I started law school I decided I had had enough spending so much money on dyeing my hair, so I let my natural color grow in. I loved it! My natural color was the color I had been trying to get for years! Who knew?!
However, my love for my easy maintenance, beautiful hair color was short lived when one day I discovered…….GRAY HAIRS! Yes, I found gray hair at only 21 years old. Not too many, but just enough for me to notice and be embarrassed! Throughout the past few years, I’ve experimented with different colors but I’ve never been very happy. It’s always too dark, too light, too red, fades too fast, shows too many grays, yadda yadda yadda.
Well, given the fact that money is a little tight right now and I’m unemployed, I haven’t colored or cut my hair in about 4-5 months. I keep telling myself that I’m going to just go to Target or Sally’s and buy a box hair dye and do it myself, but I don’t think I’ll ever be courageous enough to do that!
Nevertheless, I have a bigger problem than just hair color. I’ve noticed that for the past few months my hair has become incredibly DRY. My scalp has always been super oily (and it still is), but from about the mid-section to the ends my hair is dry as straw. To combat the dryness I’ve tried:
I just bought these and have high hopes, based on numerous reviews I’ve read:
Do any of you suffer from dry hair? Any recommendations?
You might cut back on striaghtening, or if you have to straighten (like I do) let your hair air dry so you aren't blowdrying AND straightening. Also, if your scalp is oily, maybe only apply the moisturizing product from where it starts to get dry. Also, not washing your hair everyday will help. Washing everyday can dry your hair out as wwell.
ReplyDeleteYa know...us law folk create quite the blogging/tweeting circle. We read each others BS and the such. And really, most of the blogs I come across are female bloggers...which is all well and good. I find the blogs very interesting. And in particular, unemployed recent graduates such as ourselves like to read each other. But every once and a while...as a dude...some of the posts are lost on me. This, is one of them.
