Dry To Almost Damaged Hair....

[Guest Sakura_Stingray]

Ok.. so for as long as i can remember my hair has always been a dry kind of feeling.... but not it is long enough where its realy noticable that my hair is dry and starting to become damaged... my mom suggested i put conditioner in my hair and let it stay on overnight, wash in morning and such....

tell me if my method will help me...

products used: Garnier Fructis - shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner. all four specialized for dry or frizzy hair...

1. shampoo hair, dry, add deep conditioner in hair. let set for one hour(container says three minutes though)

2. after one hour, wash the deep conditioner out, pat hair moistly before adding conditioner. let conditioner sit in hair over night, or 6-8 hours.

3. As soon as i wake up, wash hair thoroughly before drying hair. once hair is dry add leave in conditioner.

4. repeat process for one week.

Garnier does have this melting masque that supposedly helps repair damaged hair.. but since my hair is not fully damaged i am hoping to get away from buying an extra product

Look at the ingedients on the products you use - google hair care and you will see what really damages hair, things that are even advetised to help. Generally avoid alcohol based products as well.

Tip - I have very fine hair and it can get dry. My hairdersser showed me how to use a pea size dab of conditioner (straight conditioner - no shampoo types work) as mousse. I then do not have to ever use harsh hair sprays or heavy contol mousse products,

She also told me to never wash my hair sooner than three days apart - unless I had a party or somewhere special to go. And to NEVER use shampoos designed to 'strip" your hair.

i also use a large tooth comb to first 'brush my hair" to get out tangles, then a wire face brush, then a bristle brush. THIS KEEPS YOUR HAIR FROM BREAKING OFF - and RUNNING SPLIT ENDS.

I hope this helps - MTF stuff...

What I do is I shampoo my hair every other day with Herbal Essences shampoo for colored hair. Then I use the same brand of conditioner every day. Shampooing your hair every day has a tendency to dry it out. Pantene has a few products that are used to rehydrate your dry, damaged hair. I have used them in the past and they have worked pretty well. They are in a little container that almost looks like it would be hair gel. It is conditioner, though. All you have to do is put that on your hair and let it sit for 5 minutes. You'll start to notice the difference immediately. You can get it almost anywhere including Wal-Mart.

I have always had the same issue, which why (in my past) I have had really short hair but I am growing it out now but it is really dry and unmanageable at times, I started to use this shampoo and conditioner that is *suppose* to help but willing to do anything really to get my hair longer and silky smooth, so any tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

Yeah you want to avoid mainstream hair products they're full of chemicals that screw with your hair and only make it look as half as good as it can!

Go organic, they are out there you just have to look, anything that states that it has no petrochemicals in it.

Also I'll recommend (and this works a treat) after you condition rinse her hair with apple cider vinegar (about a tablespoon full to every 5oz-8oz of water approx.). Use this mix as a wash through and let it sit in for a few mins like conditioner. This helps to balance the pH of your hair and it helps close the cuticles which helps protect the hair and leave it shiny, smooth and looking really healthy. The hair is stronger with closed cuticles as well. It also keeps the follicles nice and clean which helps prevent minor hair loss from damaged (from bacteria) follicles. It's also a nature cure for dandruff, which is caused by bacteria drying out the scalp. This stuff is a miracle, but only apple cider vinegar as it has a particular pH that is perfect for hair.
