Awen Williams asks:
I have spent hours money and time looking for advice or products for shoulder length greasy fine hair that was bleached blonde that has now been coloured mid brown to try and get some life back into it, I have had it layered and I must now have 2 inches of my own healthy hair (some grey) and rest coloured, I have to wash it everyday because the roots are so greasy but the ends are so dry and frizzy and when you rub the ends between your index finger and thumb you can hear the dryness on the ends. I have tried leaving it a day without washing it but by lunch time it separates and starts getting itchy and looks awful, I have tried putting a bit of talcum powder at the roots to last a bit longer but it makes it looks worse and very dull. I have tried serum but it makes it look very flat and limp. I am starting to think may be I should wash it use a conditioner to get the knots out and blow dry it at the roots to dry it out but I know I will end up cutting the ends more often but I like having longish hair I do not suit short hair at all - what do I do I hate my hair, please help?

I would like to recommend that you wash your hair everyday firstly, I believe the oil that you have, which are a body secretion, are not good for you as they will increase your bacterial floral also the over production of yeast on your scalp producing dandruff and also irritation and in some cases also infection of the follicle. I would advise you to use a shampoo for oily hair
Faisal asks:
I have fine hair and I use hair colouring products to cover the grey roots. I use shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. Now I have also got a dandruff problem. What shampoo and conditioner do you suggest. Plus how often should I shampoo?
Answered By: Dawn Cooper
I would recommend you ask your hairdresser to recommend a good quality professional shampoo and conditioner which will not affect the colour but also target your problem. It may not be dandruff, you may not be rinsing your hair enough so make sure you rinse for a couple of minutes to remove all the shampoo and conditioner. Shampooing is a personal decision but if you can give your hair a miss every other day that is always best. If you have to wash it everyday, just try rinsing your hair rather than using shampoo.
Kim asks:
I have a little bit of dandruff and my hair long too. I use Palmolive for my hair and wash it every second day maybe sometimes everyday is that good or bad. Please recommend anything which you think is good.

If your scalp is flaking so much and so regularly, perhaps it might be a good idea to visit a Trichologist. They can help diagnose the condition of your scalp and the best way to treat it. You can find them in your yellow pages or search in our ukhairdressers.com directory for the nearest consultant. Your doctor might be able to help also. ...More >
Prior to that you could however look at a few things like a) changing your shampoo. Perhaps your hair has become conditioned to the shampoo you are currently using. Try a good quality dandruff shampoo. b) scalp treatment for dry skin. Some of your chemist stock none greasy product that you can use on your scalp to help reduce or calm this problem. c) Drink a lot more water, when your skin is drying in any particular area it could be due to hydration. d) try your health shop for natural products for skin, hair and nails. They might also do some good natural shampoo that may suit you better. You could be reacting to some of the chemicals in the commercial shampoos. e) try not to wash your hair so often, especially if you are not using a gentle shampoo designed for everyday use.
One or more of the above combination should help you to resolves your situation in the medium term.
