I've been trying to grow out my hair. I started my first relationship and he said I'd look good with long hair. It's shoulder length right now, I've done a lot of research not to cause damage. I also don't shampoo. When my hair is oily, it's feels soft and just moisturized? It doesn't feel greasy but not weightless. I get told it looks greasy and weighed down but I'm trying to figure out how to make it look better.
I'm visiting Japan for two weeks, my grandma brushes my hair very aggressively, I have to shampoo and blow-dry my hair everyday and it looks weightless alright. It's also dry and has a lot of breakage. I have more thin short hair coming off and I hear the sound of it breaking when she brushes it. I wanted to take the time to slowly detangle it. Even if I do it very slowly it still breaks. My ends are dry and rough. The last 5 cm of my hair is really damaged, which is how much my hair grew the past 5 months.
Don't tell me to just stand up for myself. I'm here to have a good time with minimal conflicts. I know my grandma wants me to have what she thinks is best, but I feel that it's causing a lot of damage and I've really been trying to leave my hair alone. I want long full healthy hair. That is what I want.
