I don't shampoo or condition my hair, and I absolutely LOVE the body and texture of my hair when it is in its natural state.

Here's my problem...

I also love having pink hair. That means about once a month I go to my stylist and she colors my hair- complete with a shampoo.

Ugh.

It takes about a week to get my hair back to its natural texture, and it drives me CRAZY all the while. Any suggestions on what I can use on my hair to either stimulate the natural oils, or to simulate them until my scalp does its thing?

Coconut and olive oils are a no go. They're too greasy and make my hair look yucky.

Have you ever tried doing an egg treatment? I'm also no shampoo/conditioner right now, and on one of the 'not washing hair' threads, someone recommended this. I tried it once (whipped up an egg, worked it through my hair, let it sit awhile, then rinsed out with water). Felt pretty good.

Also, I haven't yet tried this myself, but I read about a banana milk hair mask on Crunchy Betty that sounded killer:

I haven't. I'm not trying to get my hair clean or anything. The opposite in fact. I need to grease it up a little, without it being oily.

Funny enough, there's this leave-in treatment called "Doo-Gro" that I mix in with my conditioner. It has amazing ingredients and is really good for your hair. I get it at Sally's beauty supply but you can also buy it at Wal mart or the drugstore. The company has a lot of different products, but the one I'm talking about comes in a cylindrical, clear bottle and the oil is an amber color, like honey or v05 hot oils. Hope it's what you're looking for!

I use a mix of egg yolks and coconut cream on my hair. The coconut cream has the oils in it but not so oily as the straight CO. There is also a lot of fat in the yolks.

Argan Oil works Realllly well ... Not cheap but it only takes a lil bit.

2nd argan and also jojoba.

I have the same problem (only mine is purple). I use a small amount of almond oil, like 4-5 drops smoothed over but keep it away from my scalp. I still takes several days to recover, but it's not as dry and frizzy.

Thanks guys. I suppose it's time to start experimenting!

Does your stylist have to 'poo to dye? I mean, will your hair's oils interfere with the process? You could ask her to try just putting the dye in your hair and then rinsing it out...once. To see what happens.
