Well, darling girl, looks like you are starting down a slippery slope! Let's put a stop to that here and now! Speaking as one who has turned her own hair green (starving college student, what can I say?) and then paid a semi-substantial sum to rectify said greenness, I can in all honesty advise you to never color your own hair! But you already know that now, right? The burning and itching you felt were a reaction to the chemicals in the hair color, and an indication that you have a sensitive scalp. Because of this, you should always go to a hair color professional for any coloring, highlights, lowlights, glazing, etc. that you may wish to have done, because a professional colorist will have access to exactly the right processing for your needs.
That said, let's get to the problem at hand. (And you do promise never to color your ha
ir at home again, right?) First of all, you need to sooth the delicate skin on your scalp, as well as treat the damage to your hair. One of the girls here at our offices had a similar hair coloring disaster, and not only did her scalp itch and burn, but her hair went all funky and fried too. She swears that Philosophy Shear Spendor Age-Defying Hair "Marinating" Oil saved her hair and her love life. Use it as a once-a-week deep conditioning treatment. My suggestion would be to apply it to your hair, cover with a shower cap to seal in the luscious formula, then soak in a nice fragrant bubble bath while listening to soothing music - voila! Rejuvenation for both h
air and soul!


Another great hair treatment that might be a little more readily av
ailable and affordable is Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask. Again, use this as a weekly deep conditioning treatment.

Also, use a daily conditioner to sooth your scalp and protect your hair. I love Philosophy Shear Splendor Conditioning Mask. You can use this daily, but use it sparingly so you don't weigh down your hair. Another great daily conditioner is Beauty Without Cruelty Leave-In Conditioner. Again, use in moderation for the best results.
Hope these tips help! Take care of yourself and take care of your hair!!!
