Q. I’m 14 years old, and ever since the age of 11, I have had to wash my hair every day due to the amount of grease that accumulates in my hair. Please do not tell me to not wash it every day as it would become very curly and extremely greasy. I wash it every morning and straighten it as it is very curly. I know this damages my hair, and I wish I didn’t have to do it, but I couldn’t go a day without washing my hair as it is way too oily! I get a lot of flyaway hairs, and my fringe becomes very frizzy, so I have to use putty to smooth it down.
My hair is very dry after I wash it, and I regularly change my shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner is not making my hair oily; it is too frizzy not to use it! Are there any suggestions? As of now, it will not stay straight and gets very frizzy, but the next day my hair is extremely greasy and flat. I could not hold it on until another day! Is there any help? Thank you, guys. x
A. Apply jojoba oil to your roots after shampooing your hair—just a little. Shampooing out the oil without replenishment sends a signal to the brain that your scalp needs more sebum. The jojoba oil tricks that portion of the brain to think that there is enough and stops production.
Never apply conditioner to your roots, as it creates build-up. Always start at the ends and work very little at the top of your head. The ends have been on your head the longest, so they need the conditioner more.
In regards to damaging your hair with a flat iron: All hair products are water-soluble, including thermal controllers, so they break down after the first pass with the iron. To completely control your frizz and curl without damaging your hair, go to www.gotfrizz.com and watch the videos.
