But I’ve been washing my hair like daily or every other day with a color safe shampoo and conditioner instead of trying to extend time between washes. I tried everything but I feel like that’s just hateful guidance for me because i have fine hair but it’s incredibly dense and I have a LOT of it. I’m constantly bleaching and coloring it because I’m a hair model and I haven’t gotten in trouble with my stylist so i think it’s going well…. unfortunately can’t say the same about my hot styling brush usage he said those are canceled 😖 RIP because I still don’t know how to use a round brush to this day

Fellow fine hair haver, but I’m also very lazy and washing every day has never been an option. Dry shampoo has always been the way for me! Couldn’t go multiple days without it otherwise.

mouse I hate the way dry shampoo feels I would recommend trying volumizing shampoo and conditioner it’s a game changer and it gives me two days between washes usually… I use Living Proof Full 🙌

taterhole I used to use the living proof dry shampoo but not tried the actual shampoo, may have a go! I’ve also really been loving the percy and reed volumising mousse to try to use dry shampoo less too, it’s sort of working but not loads, so I’m willing to try new things.

mouse living proof full is everythingggg to me i love the styling creme too. Another tip I have is don’t be afraid to double wash 🫢 and I also comb conditioner through before I rinse it and air dry part of the way in a cotton t shirt then just in the… air. I’ve been loving Kristin Ess air dry creme

I haven’t done DIY in a while but my general advice for preserving vibrant color:
* use only color depositing products, shampoo and conditioner, because every time you wash your hair you’re going to be stripping color. Find one that’s closest in tone and warmth to the tones of your hair. You want the conditioner to be as saturated in pigment as possible so look for one that’s very rich in color. When I would bleach my own hair I used to apply purple conditioner to dry hair so that it wasn’t diluted by water and leave it on for a long time like a mask, then rinse it out and shampoo—if you do this try to make sure the product you use doesn’t have any drying alcohols and that it has a nourishing consistency * avoid silicones and sulfates if possible * if you used something like manic panic you can mix the exact color you used with conditioner and use that * wash your hair as infrequently as possible and with the coolest temperature possible * air dry and avoid heat styling as much as possible! If you need to heat style for a special event use heat protectants and don’t apply heat directly to the hair for too long * protect your hair with a bonnet or scarf when you sleep—this will protect your pillowcase from any potential color transfer too because if you’re regularly depositing pigment into the strands they may leach out if you sweat in the night * try to be mindful of direct sun exposure because that can also cause fading—you can buy UV protectant for your hair!! I used to use Fekkai Pre-Soleil mist

I’m trying really hard to write a rec that doesn’t just sound like regurgitated marketing lol. This isn’t a shampoo or a conditioner—but a cleansing cream. My hair is super fine and kinda sucks. I used to wash my hair each time I showered because it just got tangled if I wet it and didn’t slather it in conditioner. I’ve been using this product for about 9 months now and it has truly worked wonders. My hair is super soft, looks fuller, and actually feels clean. I only wash it twice a week now and it looks good between washes. It did take some time to get used to, but I’m really happy with it and glad I made the switch!

now time and place of course…i understand if you’re working with a 4b 4c situation garnier fructis isn’t gonna help you much but why am i paying 2-3x what a white girl would pay for her haircare just to make sure my hair doesn’t look a mess?? (and trust if i came into work with my hair looking crazy i would be dealt with unfairly). on top of that half of the shit is behind lock and key when you go to buy it at a store! like oh i wonder why :/
there is no way you can’t make a curl and coil friendly formula that isn’t $15 at max
i also think buying co-wash is kind of a scam personally. always so expensive and i feel like i could just use a leave-in. but also when i was using a designated co-wash it still didn’t help much. the buildup was crazy and i already only wash my hair once a week. even in between regular shampoo washes, co-washing was tearing my scalp tf up.
i love the brand skala brazil for this reason. they’ve got a lot of co-wash and deep/leave in conditioners for under ten dollars a lot of time and they work! brazil is such an ethnically diverse place with a ton of black people in particular, so these sort of hair products appear to be more readily available than they are in america.
i’m rambling now but i hate paying more to be presentable to the predominantly white public. also a “white girl” shampoo is way easier on my scalp than co-washing i fear (again time and place i realize everyone can’t do that). but again i shouldn’t have to pay an arm and a leg just because i have “ethnic” hair.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
