Kristin, thanks for your question!
Yes, thin and finer textured hair is a little harder to accomplish the "multiple day" hair, but it is possible.
First, you kind of have to retrain your hair. Start with every other day washing and see how that goes, it may be a challenge, but I promise, it will get better. When you wash your hair everyday your scalp is programmed to replenish those natural oils everyday. So, second day grease fest will most likely ensue but have no fear, the less you wash your hair, the less amount of natural oil your scalp needs to produce. It'll kind of go like this:
Day 1:
You: "I love washing my hair it's so great!"
Scalp: "Like usual...she washed away my oils, so I better start making some more."
Day 2:
You: "I'm going to save so much time by not washing my hair today, maybe I'll write a novel or just sleep in!"
Scalp: "Like usual...she washed away my oils, so I better start making some more."
You: "Wait a minute, why is my hair look like I'm on day 15 on Survivor?" (Maybe not that bad, but you get the idea.
Scalp: "Oops, she totally threw me for a loop, she didn't wash me today, I guess I'll need to make less natural oils"
Repeat for about a week to two weeks...
Fast Forward 2 weeks.
Day 1:
You: "Washing my hair every other day is so fabulous!"
Scalp: "It's so great she doesn't wash out all my amazing natural oils that protect and condition her hair every day. There's no need to overdo it. Thanks... you.
Moral of the story... It will get better, training anything, including your scalp will take a bit of patience. While you're in the training process, there is always use for a good dry shampoo. I have used one by TIGI in their Rockstar line, but I would love to hear of any others that people have tried and loved. Leave a comment and we'll take a poll!
