Hey guys,
so I just came back from a festival where everyone was throwing powdered colours collectively. It looked something like this (https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10402777_329095943906025_3573054981756775795_n.jpg ) and now I look something like this (https://scontent-b-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t1.0-9/q71/s720x720/10441388_328024910679795_7935545818610011182_n.jpg ) - check out the girls hair (to the mods: the pictures were posted on facebook on a public event - can I link them here?). Now I actually didn't expect this festival to be thaaaaat crazy or else I would have protected my hair but I only brought my fav silk scarf and I didn't want to get it dirty...
so my freshly washed, previously overnight-oiled amazingly-feeling hair is now matte, pouffy,stiff and crunchy. The only good thing is that it stays in a bun really easily ;)
I know that the ingredients of the powder that was used is corn starch, talcum powder and colour pigments (the same stuff that is used for Holi) because the packaging of the powder said so. So it's basically a very heavy dose of dry shampoo.
What shall I do? Brush it out? CO? S&C? oil it again? Clarify and put a hair mask on because of the pigments? I actually wouldn't mind brushing it out and having it like this for the next few days but it feels crunchy - crunchy is bad and could lead to breakage, right? What should I do?
