Afternoon mumsnetters!
I've always had issues, shall we say, with my hair. It's, as I say, thick, course, frizzy, a fair few split ends and is just basically a bit of a nightmare.
My hair care routine is usually to try and wash it no more than twice a week and top up with dry shampoo when needed. I blow dry everytime as it's naturally curly and not in a good way. It's all over the place. Curly in the middle, wavy/kinky on the top, dry and straightish on the ends, so I can't just leave it naturally. I've turned down the heat to 1 on my hairdryer and go over the stubbon bits with my GHD's. I very rarely straighten it completely, ie, in sections.
Over the past couple of months i've noticed a change for the better, so i'm not toying with the idea of having my hair coloured. My natural colour is very dark brown, some would say black, so i'd need to go for something lighter, which obviously means bleach Is this really a bad idea?
I'm so sick of my hair and i've even noticed a few......actually quite a lot, of greys too!! I'm only 28 So i'm going to need to dye it at some point I guess.
I just think the the darkness of my hair isn't really working with my pale skin anymore. I used to look youthful, whereas now, I think I just look ill.
I don't want blonde streaks or anything, but i'd like some lighter bits putting in. Bad idea? I have actually heard that having your hair coloured kind of seals the cuticles of the hair and so therefore, make it appear less frizzy and shiny. Is this a load of rubbish?
Any suggestions or experiences reeeeeeally appreciate.
Thanks

So I have very dry, thick, course hair. Should I really risk dying it?.....
