Hello, I'm 10 months into growing out my hair from a shaved head. My hair is thick, dry, and curly. It kind of fro's out, but is starting to settle down. For the past week I've been putting deep conditioner into my hair when it's wet after a shower, and letting it air dry. This settles the frizz and broken hairs on top. My question is, is it damaging to hair to do this everyday? I feel it looks much better when my hair drys this way. When I don't use it my hair looks frizzy all over, split ends are more noticeable, and generally just looks like crap. Thanks in advance,
Dan C
If your washing your hair everyday as well as conditioning then that's not good. You need to give your hair time for the natural oils to come back and maybe that's why it's dry. Try to wait at least two or three days in between. This is embarrassing to admit but I actually used to cut the split ends individually so I wouldn't be losing any more than was necessary. I just had more time on my hands back then :-) Oh, and your doing a good job letting it air dry. Hang in there bud, it'll get better and look better as it gets longer.
