Oily Scalp and Dry Hair Ends
Q: I work out daily so my hair is VERY oily around the scalp but I swim pretty much daily too so my hair dries out on the ends. Can you offer any help to make it look good? I have a few blond highlights. Thanks!A: Yours is actually a question I get often. And it requires a two-pronged approach since you're dealing with two competing environmental issues: sweating and chlorine from swimming.
The dry hair ends call for a leave-in conditioner. I've used Infusium 23 for my clients, as well as Ultra Swim conditioner (designed to neutralize chlorine) but if you have a favorite hair conditioner, feel free to use it. Simply apply it to the portions of the length that are drier and leave it on for 5-8 minutes.
Most people don't realize that (particularly with very dry hair) the conditioner is sufficient to cleanse away any typical daily soil.
