Hello ladies:
I'm a bit of a lurker, and am hoping that some of you ladies might be able to help...
I have fine, wavy hair, currently a couple of inches past my shoulders. I've never been brilliant at styling my hair (I can make a decent go of it if going to a special event, but most days I put it up in a bandanna or braids across the crown, vintage style). I have noticed that since having my daughter nearly two years ago, it has got even frizzier, and now there are some dreaded white hairs sneaking in, so no matter what I do, I seem to end up with a scruffy halo of frizz with wiry bits sticking out.
I've tried conditioning with self-heating coconut oil before washing, I always condition, I don't often use a hair dryer, and I use Mythic Hair oil too... but nothing seems to get it to lie down, let along look sleek.
It has been long for a few years now, and I'm reluctant to cut it 'short' short as I do like the option of doing pin curls etc- especially as I invested in one of those special pin curl tools recently!
So: have any of you got any suggestions? I'll be buying some henna/indigo soon as with the right preparation I understand it will cover the grey and may thicken the appearance of the hair a little, so the colour isn't the issue- it's the cut/style.
Era: I tend towards the 40s, with forays into the 50s occasionally. My hair is thicker at the back. Roundish face... will try to post a pic to profile.
Thank you so much in advance for any advice: I shall be eternally grateful.
