I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

I know this is the wrong catergory but my hair gets gross feeling easily. I straighten it & I wash it twice a week. But my hair gets so nasty feeling after like the 2nd day. But if I wear a headband then I can wear my hair down but it still looks kinda bad. & If I wear it without a headband i cant wear it down all week cuz it'll get nasty looking & feeling. & Im thinking of getting sidebangs sooner or later. So my question is how can i wear my hair down & have it feeling nice & silky until i wash my hair again ? Do you have any products I can use ? Thanks for the help (link)

There are a number of possible reasons for your hair becoming greasy quickly. However, I would like to state once and for all that hair should only ever be washed at most every THIRD day, not every other day and most certainly not every day. Such frequent washing strips the hair of its natural oils, which causes your scalp to produce more of it, resulting in hair actually becoming far more greasy far more quickly.
Greasiness can be caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, strong hair products and poor diet, so in order to work out how to prevent your hair from becoming greasy fast, you need to work out which of these could be the problem.
In the meantime, I can offer some advice on how to get the best from your hair.
- Always make sure you wash your hairbrush/comb on a regular basis with very hot water. Grease builds up on hair tools like these and unless washed regularly, they can just put grease back into the hair.
- Bear in mind that straightening always dries the hair out. As dry hair can result in extra oil production from the scalp, it is important to compensate. Use a light hair product that protects against heat damage. Although nothing can prevent some level of damage from straightening, such products can lessen the damage caused.
- Watch out for shampoos that produce a lot of lather, as these often contain high levels of detergent which again, will strip the hair of the much needed natural oils.
- Finally, when conditioning, only put conditioner into the body of the hair, rather than up to the scalp. It can be difficult to remove all conditioner from your hair efficiently and as the main effect of conditioner is on the rest of your hair, don't apply it all the way up to the scalp and when rinsing, finish with a blast of cold water, which will help to tighten the follicles which produce the oil.
