I am ashamed
that I have never grasped this in 20+ years of washing my own hair. I have had since puberty hair that naturally becomes greasy quite quickly - I have to wash it every day without fail. I was reading some old greasy hair threads on S&B in the hope of picking up tips for products etc. and my epiphany happened.
I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO COMB CONDITIONER THROUGH THE ROOTS, JUST THE ENDS!!!
I have ignored that bit for so long and combed it through my whole hair rather than just putting it on the ends. The last couple of days I have been just putting it on the ends and my fine, silky greasy hair now has more volume and is not greasy by the end of the day. I am still washing it every day though as I worry about it lasting through the second day. But I am going to try a silk pillowcase and an apple cider vinegar rinse this weekend and see what happens.
Anyone else ever had a beauty revelation like this?
