I wash my hair once a week, with just a plain old shampoo on my roots and conditioner on my length. Every so often I do an ACV rinse, to get rid of build up, primarily because it leaves my hair feeling so soft!! I tried oil before, but my hair HATES it...
I have trouble with my scalp though. It can sometimes feel itchy, and often gets flaky.
I feel I must mention that even though I only wash it once a week, my hair never feels greasy or oily when wash day comes around. It doesn't even feel greasy if I wash it a couple of days later than normal. I think my scalp might actually be too dry...:rolleyes:
Does anyone else have any advice on how to fix this?:confused:
Should I wash less often? Should I try diluting my shampoo? Should I try and find an SLS free shampoo? Or maybe a combination of all of these things... And could the hard water in my area be part of the cause? I know we have hard water because of all the build up that we get on the showers and sinks that are practically IMPOSSIBLE to clean off. We live in practically the only area in scotland that actually has hard water.
Also, I was wondering if it was possible to replace shampoo with say an ACV rinse for most washes? Because ACV would clean your hair too, so why not use it instead of shampoo...:shrug:
