hello, my hair seems to refuse to grow and is very dry regardless of deep conditioning and leave-in conditioners. i have been growing it out for three years, and it's only recently become shoulder length. i've only dyed it once (temporary) in the last six months, and i blowdry less than once a month. i don't even use mousse or styling products, because i worry it will further dry my hair or stunt its growth. i have to stay away from moisturizing things, though; i have extremely fine hair which becomes very oily and stringy very easily. i'm considering hair-health supplements from the health food store, but i do not yet know if it will help me. is there anything to recommend along those lines?
i use giovanni products: 50:50 shampoo, smooth as silk conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and reconstructor. this is the closest thing i've found to the ideal shampoo and conditioner--my hair is not as dry as it would be with a different shampoo, and it also doesn't become greasy and stringy after a few hours. so, i don't think my shampoo is the culprit...
it's frustrating that my ex-boyfriend had a shaved head two years ago, and now he has hair twice the length of mine--almost all the way down the back. all he does is eat burgers and shower once or twice a week, and he literally will not eat anything that doesn't have meat in it (rebellious little thing, isn't he?). this makes me think it is not a matter of nutrition, even though ex and i are two different circumstances; fast food and pizza rolls are the only thing he ever really eats.
i apologize if i have left anything important out. has anyone taken supplements for dry hair that will not grow? are there any suggestions for improving the condition of my hair, or are the conditioners basically the best i can do?
thank you.
