Hi there,
I thought this may be the best place to ask this. I am 21 and have been growing my hair long now since the spring of 96. It's now down to my shoulders. My "hair shop woman that cuts my hair" told me that I had dry hair. she asked what kind of shampoo I was useing and told her "pert plus". She advised me to stop useing it ASAP and goto pantine. So I took her advice and have been useing pantine for dry and damaged hair and also got the pantine conditioner fro dry and damaged hair. it's been about 5 months since I have started and have seen alittle bit of improvement in my hair. I have oily hair and have to wash it everyday. I was wondering....how much condidtioner do I use ? Usually I'll just put a little dab in my palm and spread it on the top the re-wet my hair to make it spread. Am I doing it right ? I have never had to use condiditoner before.
Another question I have, when I went into my hair place 5 months ago...I had the "dead ends" cut out. I have always gotten my hair feathered on top and layered in the back. Is this the right way to go to get the awsome mid-back length hair? I am pretty sure I want it the same length all the way around. I haven't had anyone to "coach" me through growing my hair long...but felt that y'all on this board could help me out.
Thanks...
The thing to remember when conditioning, I think, is to apply more at the tips because they are the ones that are exposed to the elements more. Since you have oily hair put only a minimal amount at the scalp. It'll be also easier to comb since the snarls and tangles are smoothed away.
If you want the one length mid back look (which is what I have) let your hair grow longer. Don't get it cut too much. If a lot of the damage shows put it up in a ponytail. If your hair becomes really long then you can go to your hairstylist and have evened out...
HOPE I HELPED YOU WITH YOUR QUESTIONS
Stop getting your hair layered and feathered on top. just let it grow
one lenght. If you do want to keep the top short than have it trimmed
but let the layers grow out in the back and sides.
