The tips of my hair (bottom two inches, maybe) have a very strange texture to them, very similar to what I remember Barbie hair feeling like. I don't know how else to describe it, but they definitely do not feel "right," let alone healthy. Kind of...fake feeling, I guess? They've been this way for approximately two or three days, but it's really noticeable today. What to do?
The ends of my hair are really porous due to pre-LHC bad habits. I just finished with a really experimentive stage which left my scalp and me really unhappy, and went back to my tried and true CO-ACV rince-CO method, with a cold water finish and a touch of coconut oil/milk. I haven't done anything new to my hair yet this week; no DT's or clarifying or anything. The ACV rinse ratio I use is 1:1, because I have such hard water. The first CO is no-cone, the second CO is with-cones. I last did this Tuesday....
I compared my hair to Kirin's diagnostic article, even though I didn't do it with freshly-clarified hair as it suggested, and none of those options fit the way my hair feels, so I'm not sure what to do. Ordinarily, my hair dislikes protein, loves cones, and gets along very well with acid rinses.
I usually wouldn't clarify today unless I absolutely had to, but it is a wash day with the CO-ACV-CO routine. Now I'm wondering if I should clarify so I could figure out what's going on with my ends....I just hate how oily my scalp gets when I clarify too often.
Has anyone else dealt with sudden weird ends like this?Am I over analyzing? If there are any suggestions you wonderful folks might have, please let me know!!! TIA
