I've really been looking after my hair for the past few weeks in a bid to get it looking healthy and long. I've been doing hot oil treatments/ intensive conditioning treatment and using leave in conditioner daily.....is this too much conditioner for my hair and is there such a thing as over-conditioning the hair? xx ------------- It doesn't have to be natural to be fabulous!!!/ |

Well, you're not over conditioning, but maybe over processing. Part of making your hair healthy is not showering so much as this may wear the hair down (conditioning excessivly can do this, too.)
I recomend you wash your hair less (I wash it about every other day while others only twice a week). And maybe do a special treatment for your hair about once a week to once a month. ------------- Hair is BSL+ as of 9/15/05 |

I agree with goldielocks about the washing.Washing your hair too much can definitely dry it out and cause it to be stressed.But Conditioning is a good thing.Just make sure your not using anything with silicone in it.Silicone is good every once and a great while but too much leaves a buildup .But conditioning with a weightless conditioner is good.And even conditioning with a good deep conditioner.I know alot of the celebrity's put conditioner on their hair out of the shower leave it in a bit.And then wash it out.I do this cause I do alot to my hair so it tends to get extra dry.As soon as it retains its lost moisture I go back to washing with weightless conditioners alone.If your hair is ok(not dry) the extra conditioning is not a good idea. -------------

i understand believe me.I just went back to my natural #4.While I had been living it up as a blonde(mostly) my hair had taken a beating.I didnt realize how bad it was til I dyed it back.It will be a long slow process to get it where it should be.I am going to let my hair just be natural too.No heat,chemicals,harsh shampoo etc..Its hard but I have to if I ever want to have long hair again.It seems like were in the same boat.I hate my hair this dark and short so I'm going to get clip ins while I'm waiting for it to grow out.That way it wont be as tempting to use heat styling when my hair isnt looking so hot. -------------
