It just came to me what had my hair acting crazy. I knew that I could not put light coloring in my hair, but I thought I was safe with using black. However, my hair does not like any permanent coloring. I use to use begine (sp) oriental black, but now since I've stopped using all coloring and kept my mtg routine, my hair is flurishing. I have some grey, but I will eventually use a semi-perm color later down the line. I remember that in high school I use to use henna to add color and shine to my hair. I look at my old picture and I see how long and shiny my hair was and I realize I need to go back to my old school methods.
