QuoteReplyTopic: thin / frizzy hair strands in bangs Posted: May 29 2005 at 7:21pm
my hairline started to recede in grade 7. a few years later i started
washing my hair daily and the recession stopped. i started washing my
hair every day b/c my hair is that oily. ive heard that your hair
oilyness will adjust to how often you wash your hair. i dont know about
that...
anyway, i believe as a result of me washing my hair every day, the hair
in my bangs is very thin compared to the rest of my hair. this causes
it to be frizzy. it has no body i guess. when i run my fingers along it
the hair squeaks, where my normal hair doesnt. it doesnt matter what
shampoo i use. i shampoo once. the frizzyness has been around for a few
years, but not since i started washing my hair daily.
any diagnoses?
If your genetics are telling your hairline to recede, that may the
cause of the thin bangs and changes in the texture of the hair.
As far as the oilyness, diluting your shampoo may help if you do want
to wash it less. Most shampoo is very concentrated and this dries
the scalp out, so diluting it 50/50 or more with water will help it to
not overdry your scalp when you wash it. This may help you go to
every other day washings if you choose, and is better for your scalp
even if you do still wash every day. (You may want to get a small
bottle and mix a little at a time so the dilute stuff doesn't sit
around and age).
One reason washing it everyday may have helped with the thinning is
because the act of washing your hair probably causes you to massage
your scalp, and the extra blood flow this causes to the scalp is good
for your follicles. (I've also heard something about lanolin production
in the scalp being stimulated by massage, but I don't know much about
that). So, you can probably wash it less if you wanted, but you may
want to continue to give your scalp a massage every day.
