As I already said - I'm growing out my hair. It is thick and wavy (when it is longer) and currently colour treated, therefor a little dry. Reading through this board I learnt that taking care of growing hair is a must. How often should I wash my hair? Should I use conditioner? Or in short words: what can I do to make my hair happy? I am allergic against some shampoos (neurodermitis), currently I am using one which contains trea tree oil (by Swiss O Par - well, I'm from Germany). If you have any suggestions or experiences I would appreciate your feedback. I used to have long hair years ago, but never really took care of it, so I am completely new to this....thanXKay

Hi Kay,You are right. To grow long healthy and beautiful hair you have to take very good care of it. Just like anything in life, if you take good care of it, it looks better than if you don't. :-)As far as washing your hair, it depends on your individual needs. I would recommend that you try different things. Try washing your hair every day for 1 week and see how your hair does. Then try washing your hair just every other day or every 2 days and see the effect.Personally I wash my hair every day. I use gentle moisturizing shampoos because my hair is highlighted and it is also on the dry side. With moisturizing shampoos and conditioners and once a week hot oil treatment my hair does not look or feel dry. But this is an individual thing.To learn what works best for your hair (frequency of washing, best products, how often to trim) you will need to experiment to find the best approach for you. That is why Hair Talk is so great, you can get lots of feedback for other people who are finding their way too.As far as shampoos, you might try the Aveda Sensitive line that was developed for people with allergies. However if your current shampoo is working well for you with your allergy, maybe you should continue with that brand.As far as conditioners...if you are allergic to some shampoo brands, you may have the same problem with conditioners. I would recommend that you use a rinse out conditioner after each shampoo. If you are going to blow dry it is best to use a leave in conditioner.In your case you will just have to try some to see if they bother your allergy.Good luck and keep us posted on your hair's growing progress.Karen> As I already said - I'm growing out my hair.> It is thick and wavy (when it is longer) and currently> colour treated, therefor a little dry.

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
