Yesterday morning I washed my hair. SLS-free shampoo, light conefree conditioner for length and thick conefree condish for the ends. Topped it all with a little jojoba oil while it was still damp. Same as I have done with good results for over a month. I then braided my hair (still damp) and went on with the day.
This morning when I took my hair down (why undo a braid just to make a new nightbraid?) it felt HORRIBLY dry. I dampened my hair and put in a little bit of coconut oil and it helped but I wonder what on earth went wrong yesterday. The only thing I can think of that may have done this was that I worked in a greenhouse which wasn't hot due to the bad weather but very humid. It was the first time I had spent a long time in a greenhouse since I started paying attention to my hair. Do you think it may have been the cause? If it could be then I desperately need some tips to prevent this from happening again as I am going to be in greenhouses a lot in the future and I am expected to take over my MIL's plant nursery/flowershop eventually.
The only other thing I can think of causing this is that my light conditioner contains aloe vera which I have read can be bad for some people's hair. The heavy conditioner has grapeseed oil and olive oil. The latter I have tried and not liked on it's own but I love this condish. However, I do not think the conditioners are the likely cause as I have used them for over a month together with no problems and used both separately before with no problems.
Any help and opinions are very welcome.
