Plus when I leave my hair to dry naturally that point where its dry in places and wet in places is quite possibly the most uncomfortable thing in the universe!

I always thought the catching a cold cos you're cold thing was a bit of a tale aswell, but i've also read that its more likely you will be affected if you're cold, something to do with vasoconstriction so less WBCs or something... obv you have to be exposed to the virus aswell.. I hate being cold anway so avoid as much as poss

The heat defense sprays make me itch sooo bad!!! i can't use them. just got an ionic drier and i don't have any problems.

i always thought 'catching a cold' from wet hair or being cold was a bit of a wives tail. Never done me any harm, but my immunity is normal as far as I know.

I used to wash my hair in the evenings but was so itchy with grease on the day I needed to wash it that I spent the day scratching like I had fleas.

I wash my hair every other day. I refuse to go outside with wet hair- I have a weakened immune system and it raises the possibility of catching pneumonia, which I really don't want.

I gently towel dry then use a small amount of heat defense spray then use an ionic hairdryer.

I wash my hair in the mornings. I do blow dry, especially in winter but on low heat.

Always get oily hairy products where possible.

I would say change your routine when washing your hair. I wash mine early evening, towel dry and tie back so it dries naturally. This helps alot. I find drying ym hair alot makes it go rather greasy. I also suffer when i dry my hair with a hair dryer! Too painful!

I think drying it daily wont be helping at all! Would really try changing tht!

I can't tie mine back too often when it's wet, mostly because it breaks my hair and gives me the frizzies. but also because it puts stress on the folicle and causes it to protect it's self and produce oil! which is annoying when i go to take my hair down and it's greasy again! I usually just give it a good towel dry and then leave the window open on my way to work OR just leave it be and give it a brush before i go into work or get where i'm going.

I sometimes get the greasy hair thing when its tied up! Just depends! I usually loosly tie it! My hair is awful in winter tho, sometimes fine bright and shiny for weeks then goes minging for weeks! Who woulda thought hair would be so complex!

[/quote]

This is why i keep like 8 brands of shampoo and conditioners! I like to use one for a week and then switch. then you get that new clean feeling every week!

Yes the Coatex is for our furry friends but I run out of human shampoo and used Coatex as it was all I had in... I must say it did the job and left my coat all shiny... *WOOF*... ooops it must have side effects

I always find mine goes greasier if i leave it to dry naturally (which only happens on holiday usually) just goes to show everyones different I guess! I blow dry it every night, otherwise it would take an age to dry.. I use a heat protector and a low setting so its still in good condition. I tried using MOP for a bit but after a while my hair felt a bit 'dirty', like there was a lot of build up or something. I guess I like my chemicals

I would recommend Aveda, I converted to it about 3 years ago and won't use anything else now. I love it!

I very rarely blow dry or straighten my hair. If i do it dries out. I've now got an ionic hair dryer (for christmas) and it's fab, hair feel lovely after i use it! I tend to wash it before work, towel dry then tie it back to dry. Hairdresser comments every time about my hair being in good condition so it seems to work for me! I don't often wear hear down cos it annoys me! Only down if i'm going out, work, dog walking and general life it's tied back!

Oily hair products can be deceiving sometimes, depending on what they used to 'strip' the oil. sometimes if they strip too much of the oil and over dry the scalp it will actually make your hair more oily because your scalp tries to protect itself. Maybe try some 'normal to oily' hair products with natural ingredients and not so many chemicals so it leaves your natural oils alone but still cleans your hair. Try to blowdry as little as possible if you can and leave your hair to 'air dry' so you don't heat up your scalp and make it sweat. it doesn't take much since you're already producing heat from your head to begin with!

I'm allergic to Dove too, but mostly because of the paraben in it! it' could be you might have an allergy to it too?

I have similar hair to yours, I like the wella sp regulate shampoo but its pretty expensive, esp. as I wash mine every day. I have also been using aussie which is really good, doesn't make my hair greasy at all. Anything volumising is generally pretty good as it doesn't weigh the hair down. Might be worth getting a recommendation from your hairdresser aswell. good luck

Pardon? I'm not sure I follow you 'bark-y'?

oatmeal is great for itchy scalp and oily skin and aloe is very healing and a good natural cleanser so I would have thought most things with those ingredients would be good. No?
