Question Posted Wednesday September 16 2009, 10:53 pm
My hair is soooo ugly right now!!! I have medium hair length (shoulder length), my natural color is light brown/dirty blonde, but I often dye my hair a medium/dark brown. I used to have naturally straight hair when I was little, but after a few years it started to get wavyier. And now whenever I shower or get my hair wet, it naturally is wavy. But since my hair is so short, there's like 5 waves and it looks so gross. That's why I straighten it everyday for school. I know that is a lot of damage to my hair... So I don't need reminders. Here's the thing- I play after school sports right now and my schedule is very crazy and hectic, so I don't really have the time to get it recolored, cut, or deep conditioned. Right now I am using Loreal Vive pro shampoo and conditioner for very dry/damaged hair and I'm not really seeing a difference. Any suggestions on what products I should use? Another thing I noticed is that each individual strand is separated from one another, not like bunched up in clusters of hair... It's weird.
Also, whenever I straighten my hair, it straightens it for a few minutes but then after a while, goes back to normal. I don't know if it's my hair, or if I need a new straightener or what? Where I'm from, there's not much humidity.
Can anyone PLEASE help me?? Rememeber, I don't have the time and money to go to a salon or anything like that.
