haircare tips from my experience

Sep 14, 2011 16:23

I wanted to share haircare tips I learned from having yard-long (therefore 8+ year-old and fragile) hair and more recently having repeatedly-bleached-and-dyed hair. Lots of these are gleaned from tips offered by others and then used by me -- but as a disclaimer, I don't know if they'd all be useful if your hair is very thin or very kinky. Some ( Read more... )

I've never had the patience/dedication to try the no-poo method -- I don't want to have to rinse/dry it everyday (I never use hairdryers so it takes a while). But I've heard it works wonders!

I tried the no-poo method for awhile. It did wonders for my normally kind of pimply back but didn't do anything for my hair.

I hadn't thought of doing the thing with the cottonballs! Thank you!

Well, now I'm starting to get an idea about why I lose so much hair when I wash it. I've been piling it on my head to wash, and combing from the roots for years. I'm definitely going to save these tips and try to break the habits.

Awesome tips! I don't do things exactly as you suggest (I only rinse in cold, for example, I can't handle washing in it) and I never bleach my hair but everything you've suggested makes sense. One thing I do when I condition is pop a shower cap over it and finish my shower, to let it really soak in. I rinse it thoroughly at the end of my shower. It seems to work wonders. I also just wrap a towel around my head to catch the drips for a few minutes, then just let it dry naturally. It does so much damage to roughly rub your head with a towel, especially if you rub enough that it starts sticking out ala Einstein (which is what my husband does *facepalm*).
