I oiled my hair liberally with coconut oil last night and CWC this morning. I applied conditioner to the ends, shampooed the top, rinsed, conditioned the ends. I was careful not to apply too much C behind my ears because last week when I didn't use oil, even after shampooing I had grease buildup behind my ears.
I seem to have an excess grease buildup on the top/back of my head and behind the ears.
Today, I put my hair half up because I have just above BSL length hair with layers, so I can't braid or do many styles because the layers stick out everywhere looking silly. But today I went and looked in the mirror and the bottom of my hair is all stringy and kind of greasy. The top looks great though :) I can't wait to get out of work and wear my hair down.
So thus, I have a few questions, "Why the grease buildup behind the ears and at the top/back of my head?" and "What are some good hairstyles for my hair?" (just above BSL with layers) I've tried researching but am having a hard time.
I am using Nature's Gate (I believe) Biotin shampoo which is very thick so I diluted it to make sure it ran through all my hair. The first time I S'd after not S'ing for 5 days I used this Paul Mitchell moisturing shampoo. My hair had an interesting texture after (I think not shampooing for a while helped my hair) but there was no grease. I think it may have been a bit dry because I remember being sad and vowed to be sure not to get any shampoo on my ends because before I S'd they were SOOOO soft and gorgeous from all the sebum.
Might as well while I'm here tell you my life story. Haha, just started taking Omega-3's because I got lazy about taking them before and still had some in the kitchen, and I bought some Biotin for only $1 at the local Shaws in the discount rack. They are not even expiring soon and are the Shaw's health food brand. So, I bought them and started taking them because I heard good things about it. I am more interested in natural/herbal remedies for my hair. I'm probably going to try and use up the S&C I have now before I think about buying anything else. I hate feeling like i'm so invested in all these manufactured products. I'm sure some of you can relate.
I am having an interesting adventure with my hair!
