Hi, I've had long hair my entire life. When I moved to New Mexico, I noticed that the sun and wind were drying my hair out at an alarming rate. I helped control this by braiding my hair every day, but I'm really proud of my long hair, and braiding it just isn't the same as wearing it "down."I love the way it feels against my elbows and arms on a windy day. =)I've recently taken the advice of several people and started brushing my hair carefully 100 strokes each day.My problem: I usually wash my hair in the evening and let it dry while I sleep. By the afternoon of the next day, the hair on my scalp starts looking greasy, and the ends of my hair have become dry.Help!--Robyn

Dear Robyn,It is normal to get dryer hair due to sun exposure, but brushing excessively won't help at all! If you wish to wear it down, you'll have to wash more often (Aveda twice a day shouldn't be harmful) and put some sunscreen to protect it.I am no expert, but I hope this helps!Itzel

If your hair is thick, as mine is, it may be harder to rinse conditioner from the hair closest to your scalp. Maybe you could try putting less comditioner on this part of your hair, and more on the dry ends.I hope I have been of some help!:-)
