Greetings, Mels, and welcome to the HairBoutique hair talk forums!
In addition to Susan's excellent suggestion, you might also want to
consider is getting a plastic bottle with a mister and mist your hair
just a bit when it's feeling dry.

Thanks so very much for the reply, Susan. I used to use jojoba oil but I hadn't even thought of it this time around. I used it when my hair was pretty long (bra strap length) because the hair there was "old" (my hair takes a long time to grow...at that length, the ends were close to three years old). I hadn't thought of trying it on shorter hair. I'm gonna run to the health food store post-haste...thanks!
You might want to try jojoba oil. You only need a drop or two for
your length of hair, and it will help keep your hair moisturized (and
the act of putting it on helps your hands stay moisturized too!).
It is good for hair, unlike products that may cause damage over
time. It weighs hair down a little, but makes it look shinier
too. You only use it from the ears down, and it should not make
your hair look oily or wet, or get on your clothes (if it does any of
these things, it just means you used way too much).

Hi! I'm brand-new here. I've been searching for some good hair care sites.
A little about my hair: I colored it blonde (from light brown) for
about 16 or 17 years. Then I decided to grow the color out and it took
almost 3 years. I kept cutting little bits of the old color out. I had
it in a very blunt cut. A couple months ago and I got the last few
inches of processed part off, but it was still a blunt cut.
Recently I decided I felt like a little "style" that would grow out
nicely as well so now I have a long shag (long layers), with the
longest part falling past my shoulder line. My hair is very fine and
it's usually straight but with the layers, it's slightly wavy.
Anyway, I moved from the east coast to the west coast last month and
all of a sudden, out of nowhere, BAM, dry hair is back!!! I am so
disappointed because my hair was finally starting to feel like "real"
hair (without the processed parts making it feel dry). I'm afraid to
overcondition though, because of how fine my hair is. Does anybody live
in a dry climate and how do you deal with hair dryness? Are there any
particular products that help?
