Olive Oil - Fade Hair Colors?
Question
Dear Karen,
My hair feels just like cotton and it is freaking
me out.What is even worse is that after I colored it last
weekend my hair actually felt worse. I noticed that my hair
felt really weird when it was wet. It actually felt slimy, if
that makes sense. I don't abuse my hair although I do color it
every 3 weeks and use a blow dryer with my curling iron. Do
you think that I am doing something wrong to get this horrible
feeling to my hair? Help please.
Thanks,
Shaney
Answer
Dear Shaney,
I consulted with two different stylists who told
me that it was likely that your hair is suffering from too many
chemicals coupled with hot styling tools. What to do?
Give your hair a vacation from coloring, chemicals and hot blow
dryers and styling tools.
I would personally recommend that you consult a
hair color expert and make an appointment to have a full
consultation to determine how to repair the damage.
I would also recommend that you invest in a superb
moisture enhancing shampoo and conditioner. Deep conditioning
treatments would help tremendously at this point.
Thanks for writing.
Best wishes,
Karen
