Thank you so much I actually do love my hair color (I always say I'm so happy I'm a brunette who loves having dark hair... My lazy self could never handle the upkeep if I was one of the brunettes who wished to be blonde )

I have had some luck with using aloe vera gel, so I think I might incorporate it into my routine. I do have some flaxseed, so I will try to make flaxseed gel (as an aside, I saw a video of a woman who made flaxseed gel to apply to her face—I was intrigued. This may be my excuse to give it a try both for my hair and face )



I have been reminding myself all day to come here and let you know that THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!! I wetted my hair, applied aloe vera gel, braided my hair into 8 sections, and then made two 4-strand braids. I left it all in for a little over 24 hours, and my hair looks so much better. I don't mind the frizz as much if the surrounding hair texture matches, and this seems to have done the trick. I think I'll make this my go-to after I wash my hair from now on. Super easy and made me feel human again Thank you so much for these tips!!

Thank you WednesdayAddams, bat, Aunt Rapunzel, Ylva, and baanoo for the kind comments and sage reminders (and embee for the lovely kitty cat comparison... Those are some majestic kitties!) It's amazing the difference in responses here and on a similar post I made on Reddit. People on Reddit basically told me I have damaged, frizzy, straight hair that nothing will help. One person even took time out of their day to send me a PM telling me I should cut my hair short, lol. I'm so thankful for this kind little corner of the internet
That's the difference between long hairs and the general public, they have no idea what damage hair actually is
