Hi...I'm new to this site...this is my first visit...I am soooo desperate for a decent head of hair I am about to shave my head and start over!! No kidding!! I am 21 and mother to a infant so I have neglected my hair for almost two years....ugh...I have fly aways and sun damage....color damage and probably brain damage for waiting so long to deal with it....now I just wash and hope for the best....please help me with some ideas on how to get my hair under control...it's about bra strap length and wavy, full, and thick...I am at my wits end....I have read about different products on this site but I wouldn't know where to begin...right now I use Neutrogena for color/permed/damaged hair....it seems ok but since I have moved into the country my hair has gone to straw...could it be my well water???? I have lived my whole life in town so I really noticed a diff. when I moved....... PLEASE HELP!!! --Thanks

Hi Patty,Being a 58 year old male I'm not sure what I might have to say will be of any value to you, but here is my input.I started growing my hair out about 8 months ago it's about 6 inches long now. I live in the country and my hair was really dry and fly away. After reading some of the postings on this site, I stared using Aveda products, washing my hair with water from my dehumidifier and with in a couple of weeks my hair was shinny and soft and very managable. One thing that seems to really helped my fly away problem is the leave in conditioner. I know your hair is longer and you may not have a dehumidifier but distilled water would be about the same thing.By the way my wonderful wife was so impressed with the way my hair responed she is letting me help her take care of her hair, it has been a beautiful experience for both of us, somthing new after raisig six kids and now ten grand babies.Good Luck!!JJ
