Hope this isn't badly explained/ worded. But..
I've got shoulder length hair and it's been giving me a world of trouble for the last few months and I can't really figure out why. I used to wash and condition it most days (this may have been a factor in my downfall), and it was always nice condition, not dry or frizzy. Fairly oily but nothing too troubling. It's quite fine hair but there's a lot of it. Anyhow since last summer it's gone sort of lifeless and frizzy. Like a bit dead on top and with a permanent haze of really fine jaggedy frizz as the top layer. So I went sort of mental buying loads of different weird deep conditioners. I don't really know what I'm doing by the way. I'll put on some strange l'oreal masque and it won't work or I'll spend a load of money I don't have on some super-expensive lavender shampoo that doesn't foam and basically the entire process is a big complicated nightmare. Like an over-written crime show on netflix that has too many storylines and you can't imagine ever resolving so you stop investing emotionally in the programme. For example I spent a whole month convinced I was iron deficient. Or spent a fortnight washing it in bottled water (I live in a hard water area). ANYHOW so the only thing that works is a lemon clarifying shampoo by Avalon Organics. It leaves it quite alive and soft and somehow cuts down on the frizz. Only problem is I know you're not supposed to use those every wash. Right? I mean I'm trying to leave it two days between washes, but quite quickly it seems to go dry/greasy on top and tangly. Is it alright to use a clarifying shampoo (bearing in mind it's organic ((whatever that means)) ) fairly regularly? I suppose that's my question. Anyhow sorry I feel like this is the worst worded post. And is quite possibly in the wrong forum. So, sorry if so!
