Probably a really dumb question, but the more moisture that your hair sucks in, will it get shorter? I'm noticing a difference in length definitely since I started cowashing, but wasn't sure if I was just imagining things.
If you look in my album, (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=4496) my hair looked like the curls were being stretched out and weighted down and dull. Now they look a lot better, but my hair just seems shorter.
Another question: I want to be sure I'm not overconditioning. Would it be a bad idea to throw in a protein conditioner every couple of weeks with my type of hair, as long as there aren't any cones? I'm just a little confused, I can't seem to find my own routine. So far I've only been cowashing and love it, but if I keep up with just this, my hair won't start getting messed up will it? I just don't know what I need, and if I go back to beauty school and ask, they'll just want to load me up with products and tell me to cut it again.
