One year ago I had my hair permed, then had lemon highlights added to blend in the gray. Now I have colored my hair back to brown because after touchup highlights it all started looking grey and I have very little grey naturally. I keep my hair trimmed so I have no split ends. I never blow dry, yet I have very dry hair and my hair is not shiny.Can someone help with products I can use. So far ones that I have tried either do nothing or make my hair look greasy instead of healthy. Note: I have very long hair (to mid-back) and am growing my bangs out to match. Should I cut it all off,layer it or just condition it?

Hi,Sorry to hear of your hair problems. I would not recommend that you cut it or do anything else to it until you first get it back to a more equal balance which can result from some good conditioning.Cher, who visits Hair Talk, has had wonderful luck with Aveda's Curessence conditioner. She applies it to her hair and then puts on a shower cap and wraps that in a hot towel and lets the Curessence soak into her hair and it works like a charm. If you have any questions, I am sure Cher would be glad to help.I highlight my hair which tends to be dry anyway. So I have found several things that work well to add moisture and condition and shine.I use a very gentle moisturing shampoo. Aveda's Shampure is wonderful and lately I have found ARTec's Smoothing shampoo which is formulated specifically for dry, color treated hair. I have also found ARTec KIWI shampoo to be a great conditioning shampoo. There are others on the market, but I know for sure these work.I also alternate between Aveda's Deep Conditioner and Aveda's Curessence. I also use Aveda's Beautifying Oil which has a high concentration of Jojoba oil.For an instant conditioning, I use extra virgin olive oil with some rosemary oil added to it (for dryness) and I heat it, apply it to the parts of the hair that need it and then slap on a shower cap and the hot towel. I use a gentle moisturing shampoo to get rid of the olive oil and then a rinse out conditioner like Deep Conditioner.Any use of chemicals like perms or color will potentially damage the hair shaft and will remove the natural oils. You can put them back with lots of conditioning. When my hair is dry from summer heat or other factors I will condition every other day. Sometimes I do it every day. Just don't put the conditioner on your bangs if they get oily.Layering will only compound your problems. In my opinion.If you want instant access to the Aveda or ARTec products at the best possible prices, chec out the WWW Beauty Store.I have been ordering from them lately and am very impressed. I save a lot of money at their Internet store compared to what I have been paying at retails store.Very safe too. Absolutely totally secure.Good luck.Karen> One year ago I had my hair permed, then had> lemon highlights added to blend in the gray.
