About two weeks ago I noticed that the ends of my hair were super dry. The final 10-15 cm of my hair was coarse, rough, and gave an almost velcro-like kind of resistance to being separated. I say was, but the sad truth is that they are still like this
The thing is, I haven't made any recent changes in my hair routine, so I don't know why this happened so suddenly. Any advice?
About my routine:
I wash every 3 to 4 days. Shampoo, then conditioner.
Shampoo: Head and Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo (I've been using this for years)
Conditioner: Garnier Fructis Goodbye Damage conditioner (been using this since October)
Air drying, and if I do use the hairdryer it's on low heat, low intensity and only the scalp.
I oil daily and post-shower with coconut and jojoba (since January)
My own thoughts are:
- Protein overload? There is protein in my conditioner, and I've had no issue in the time I've used it, but could my hair have finally had enough and overloaded?
- Product buildup? My conditioner also has some cones, like amodimethicone, but I figured the sulfates in my shampoo should prevent buildup? (I squeeze it in just a little bit down the ends just to be safe regarding buildup)
- Changes in the weather. It's getting warmer, and it's raining less. I'm also experiencing increased severity in dandruff in roughly the same timeframe, to such extreme that even my forehead and eyebrows create dandruff I've never had this issue before, and can't point to any other explanation than the weather.
