Hey guys :)
So I haven't really posted that much, but I'm a long-term lurker :p
Anyway, my hair has quite a bit of damage at the ends (maybe 1 or 2 inches) from bleaching/dying a couple of years ago so I'm trying to grow that out. It's especially bad on the canopy - but sometimes my hair is fine, and at others it's insane, tangly velcro hair which I've recently been thinking might have something to do with my hair reacting badly to protein. Chelating with Joico always makes my hair feel nice, but I'm thinking it's probably bad to need to chelate nearly every week or so...
So I was thinking of looking around for a condish & shampoo with no protein/cones.
But yesterday an odd thing happened - I needed to wash my hair quickly before I went to work but had barely any of my Garnier cone free conditioner left. So I washed it with my vo5/alberto balsam shampoo (which contains soy milk protein) and then only the TINIEST bit of conditioner. And now - it feels SO much better than it did before. Not 100%, but a lot silkier and smoother with less tangles.
Soooo I guess I'm just wondering - do you think my hair is loving the lack of condish? Usually I smother it in conditioner because it's so dry, but now with hardly any conditioner it feels amazing! So confused :confused: sorry this is sooo long!
