OK here is my story as brief as I can make it. I had been double processing my hair (bleach and tone) until about december, prior to this I had been red and before that blonde and before that red (you get the idea). So I made the decision that I wanted long healthy hair and not blonde. I went to an Aveda salon and now have my hair colored a really pretty dark bright red, I get my roots done about every six weeks (the color is the same level as my natural color but a just a different redder tone) I have a few grays that I do not like to see. ANYWAY.....:p from all of this my hair is not in great condition although better since I have started to CO wash and use oils. My longest layers are just shy of APL and my shortest layers (which are along the hairline all around and up on my crown) are only 5"-6". My colorist mentioned the damage at the crown felt really dry and I should moisturize it more with a protein free conditioner because she said you have some splits and you don't want that damage to travel. Add to this that I think I might also have seborrheic dermatitis around my hairline...yuck! My question is can I use catnip for my damage and splits? Is it OK to use or color treated hair? Will it alter the color? And aside from oiling and Nightblooming Panacea, CO washing once a week, combing with a seamless comb, being cone and protein free, and taking biotin what else can I do to help my hair?:confused: If you have read this far I thank you! You all are so wonderful and knowledgeable! Any advice, suggestions, masterplans:eyebrows: are all greatly appreciated!
