Changes in covered hair

Sep 30, 2005 13:24

As a Jewish lady, I only started covering my hair when I got married this July. About 95% of my hair is covered, apart from a little bit in front of the ears and at the nape of the neck. My hair is quite fine and usually “normal” at the top and dry at the ends, with quite a few split ends. I do not treat my hair any differently now than I used to before I covered it- washing twice a week, conditioner once a week, brush in the morning when I get up and if it is very tangled in the evening before bed.

I have found my hair has changed since I cover it. Firstly, it seems far greasier. Secondly, I seem to be loosing more of it when I bathe (this could be because it is now covered and tied so more of it stays on my head till bath time, but as I still brush it every day I don’t think there should be that much of a difference). Thirdly, there seem to be far more grey/white hairs. Beforehand, I had maybe one grey hair every month or so that I saw. Now, there are lots of them (could have to do with recent work stress- if so, this will get better as I just quit!).

Has this sort of change in hair texture happend to any of you? Suggestions? Tips?
