Less is more
I am a woman in my mid forties who stopped coloring and highlighting my hair about 3 years ago. After coloring and highlighting my thick, beautiful hair since the age of 17, having children, becoming older, my hair was a frizzy, brittle, product-needing, thinning mess. I had to style my hair more and more and use more and more products to help it look nice. I then started a new job and began working for an older woman who had the most incredible head of shiny and thick salt and pepper and silver hair. I asked her what products she used and she said none. She told me she washed and conditioned only. She said the secret was to not color your hair and find a shampoo that kept your scalp healthy but didn't fry your hair. She said, take care of your scalp so it is able to grow healthy hair, and don't abuse your hair once it has grown out. It was such simple advice. I stopped coloring and highlighting right then and there. I won't lie. It was rough at first and I felt ugly. The grow out was tough. I did end up cutting it short once it had grown out a bit to get rid of all the processed fried hair. I am glad I stuck with it, though. Three years into my natural hair journey, my hair is healthy and shiny and growing like a weed. I have light brown hair with an awesome silver streak on the top of my head. That was another discovery, I had no idea what hair color I had. Anyways, once my hair grew out, I wanted to invest in a shampoo that would promote a healthy scalp and nourish my hair. This shampoo does the trick. I no longer have dandruff and my hair is light and full of body without frizz. And, after years of blow drying and using a straightener, I now wash my hair and let it air dry. I have shiny, beach waves with lots of volume and no frizz. This shampoo cleans my scalp so well but does not strip my hair. I only have to wash my hair twice per week and it always looks good. I have noticed that since I started using this shampoo, my scalp no longer itches and there is definitely less hair in the drain.
