[quote=Anonymous]***You are making the dryness WORSE by spending too much time in the shower and maybe working too long on your hair and skin, OP!*** My teen daughter has lots of fine hair that goes down to mid-thigh. I have hair like yours. We do not take that long in the shower. You need to wash your scalp and surrounding follicles, gently. No need to "wash" the rest. The detergent present in your shampoo just naturally slides down the shafts and when you manipulate your hair, they all get enough exposure to that. More will damage and dry out your follicles. Rinse. Apply conditioner from mid-strand to the ends, or if it's very dry, from above that, but don't touch the scalp. Leave it on while you wash the rest of you. Again, same principle applies to skin: do not dry it out by soaping too much. Focus on stinky areas. You can exfoliate gently, but not every day, you're just irritating your skin and creating more need to moisturize. Then rinse the conditioner out, but not completely. You want a little of it to stay in. You can feel it by texture and you can experiment. I agree with you that contrary to a leave-in conditioner, rinse conditioners do need to be "mostly" out. Pat dry, put in towel. Do not scrub your hair, or your skin, like a maniac, because again, it's irritating. I do all this at night, because I find it relaxing and I want to go to bed with that "all clean" feeling. I don't want to use any of my precious early morning time to do this. Mornings are for taking care of pets. [/quote]
