- Consider going back to washing once a week instead of 2 (I’m thinking every 5-7 days). I don’t think I’ll have the energy or motivation to wash as often anyway (I think I have a touch of seasonal affective disorder). My hair may need a wash twice a week since it has been thriving, so we’ll see..
- Wear hats whenever I can. In the winter in Boston, I usually keep my hair wrapped in my silk scarf, put a hat over it, and comb out my hair when I get to work.
- Wear silk scarves so that my hair doesn’t rub against wool sweaters and coats.
- Leave my pre-poo in longer than 30 minutes.
- Use the DIY steam treatment every time I deep condition.
- Be better at massaging my scalp and sealing ends- once or even twice a day!
- Apply a color rinse every other week to better condition my hair.
- Incorporate protective styles once my hair gets to shoulder-length (crossing my fingers for February ’09).
I plan on changing my products too much, I’m just not going to be doing as many co-washes.

I was going to email you today to ask how often do you color rinse your hair... You must have read my mind because you mentioned here in this post!
I was thinking of doing another color rinse early October... starting off with once a month... since I'm still paranoid about doing it myself.
P.S. You will def make shoulder length by Feb. 2009! =)
My old stylist used to tell me to save my money and do my own rinses at home, so you'll be fine! It depends on what color I use- for black, I apply more often, especially if I'm washing 2x a week.
Thanks for the encouragement! I haven't used heat in months, so hopefully I can retain my length this winter!
When you apply your color rinse, how do you apply it? Do you use a brush or just toss it on? I am considering trying to do a color rinse myself in 2 weeks.
I usually use a brush, but if I'm lazy and don't have any gloves, I just toss it on from the bottle. Just make sure you apply it to all parts of the hair- I have had sections where I could clearly see that I missed!
