Hair can be one of those things that seems better on someone else's head. I got my mother’s stick straight hair, I have a lot of it but it just lays there. My sister and brother got my dad’s curly hair, I dreamed of this hair when I was younger, but have learned to enjoy my straight hair. Especially, in the humidity in the south, no frizz here!
However, while we were living in the dry desert in the southwest last year, my dry skin was going crazy. I felt like nothing was working to help it and this included a new issue of dry, itchy scalp. I was born a blond and a stayed a blond until after I got married 3 years ago. After the wedding, I died my hair black, which only lasted a few months, which made some people happy. Then I settled on this Cherry- cola, burgundy color which I absolutely love, but it doesn't disguise a dry scalp.
Since I have color treated hair, I only wash it a few times a week, your hair doesn’t need to be washed everyday, in fact it can make it worse if you do. Plus the idea of washing my hair, blowing drying and styling it everyday just seems exhausting to me. I noticed last fall, between washes that I was getting some flakiness in my hair. Which, lets be real, that's not cute, so I went on a quest to find a solution. I tried some high end brand shampoos and conditioners and nothing seemed to be working. Finally, I bit the bullet one day at Target and bought Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care Shampoo and Conditioner with Almond Oil. I can tell you I couldn’t be happier with the results.
The shampoo and conditioner claim to improve scalp health after 2 weeks of regular use. I can tell that I noticed a difference after the first use. My hair felt so silky and smooth. My dry, itchy, sometimes flaky scalp was gone. Having color treated hair, makes me careful with what products I use. Red hair color tends to rinse out of my hair quickly but I have actually noticed it last longer with using this shampoo and conditioner. My hair even accepted the color better this time than it has in the past.
I am still only washing my hair 2 or 3 times a week which means some serious dry shampoo and other product build up and it gets everything out. I’m even noticing less dry shampoo use, because my hair feels so soft and smooth. I continue to grab for the Head & Shoulders over my higher end products every time I wash my hair.
My husband, the avid Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo user, even tried this shampoo and commented on how soft it made his hair!
I just couldn’t keep this little secret to myself. And its not like you're breaking the bank by giving Head & Shoulders a try. I would definitely suggest if you are having similar problems to give it a try!
The adventure continues....
