I have damaged, frizzy, bra-snap length hair that is heavily highlighted. Next week I'm quitting the bleaching and going back to my natural brown color. A year ago it was permed.
I'm trying to get it healthier and more manageable. I'm going to explain my hair care routine. If any of you could tell me if I'm doing anything I shouldn't be doing and some things I could try, it would be greatly appreciated. My other post has products I'm thinking of trying!
Here is my hair care routine:
I wash my hair with Matrix Biolage Ultra-Hydrating shampoo (Just using this up, I plan to switch to something else, preferably Bedhead -love that brand) and condition with Bedhead Self Absorbed. I do not wash it every day. I wash it once to twice a week if I'm not doing much to my hair. Although every night when I shower I almost always condition my hair (Is this bad?). I do a lot outside so I sweat alot, and if I don't at least get my hair wet I feel like it's so gross. If I'm doing some mousse-ing or something like that I wash my hair the next day to get that out, which means I end up washing three times a week sometimes. Never ever every day though!
After the shower, I use Beyond The Zone Protein Cocktail to detangle (Bought it as a leave-in conditioner and it did nothing for my hair so I'm using it up as a detangler), gently comb with a wide-tooth comb (I start at the ends and work my way up). Once a week I will then spray on CHI Keratin Mist. Then, regardless, I apply Bedhead After Party smoothing cream (I can't get by without this!).
If I blow dry my hair, I then apply Beyond The Zone Frizz Zapper serum and Silk Elements Megasilk Heat Protection spray (Sadly it's not the olive oil kind. The baby powder smelling kind -- ewww), occassionally So Gorgeous volumizing blow dry gel (RARELY). Then I blow dry with an old Vidal Sasoon.
If I straighten, I then spray a tad bit more Megasilk or Got2B Guardian Angel (using that up) and straighten with a Sally's GVP flat iron (LOVE THAT IRON!♥)
Once a week or once a month if I forget to, I do an olive oil treatment. I put olive oil on my hair and leave on for at least 15 minutes (Sometimes overnight) and then shower and wash it out.
What do you think of my routine? Is there anything I should be doing different? Different products, etc? On my other topic I list products I want to try so if you could check that out and tell me what you think that would be great.
Thanks!
