Hi there!
I'll start with a brief hair history
I am an artificial redhead (as my username suggests!) and have been on and off for years. Last September I started growing my hair after having years of short, jaw-length hair. Right now it's bra strap length which is the longest it's ever been and I'm very proud of my locks, I never want short hair again! My goal is waist or hip length hair, preferably in a vibrant auburn/red!
My hair has seen years of dye. It's been orange, yellow, pink, purple, etc but I've always come back to artificial boxed red. I've tried henna in the past and had a short love affair but it always just seems to go bright orange then settle to a warm brown, not the vibrant auburn-red I was looking for.
I have a terribly dry,scabby, itchy scalp and hair that manages to get oily whilst losing moisture at the ends. I don't have too many problems with damage. I recently had a trim of my ends because of dryness from a brief flirt with bleach and a few split ends but have still retained my bra strap length
My hair routine at the moment is washing every 2-3 days with E45 shampoo followed with Garnier Ultimate Blends Colour Illuminate conditioner and coconut oil on the ends if I need it. I'm looking into CO washing as a means to help heal my sad sad scalp and also alternatives to chemical filled box hair dye
I discovered the forum whilst searching for co-washing and also separate searches for henna troubleshooting
I look forward to contributing to the community

Thank you!!
I've dyed my hair red for so long it's become part of my being so the username seems only natural, haha
