dead curly hair

[tyty]

I really need your hair I used to have curly hair and 6 moths earlier I was dreaming of strait hair and I used a strainer and now all the curl is gone and I really regret they look like straw.

What can I used to get back my curl, is there a treatment?

Deep treatments and lots of conditioning! I like lustrasilk shea butter cholesterol for deep treatments and Loreal pro vive conditioner in the pink bottle for long curly or wavy hair.

Yup I agree with topdogg. Treatments for curly hair will definitely help.

Just out of curiostity, did you flat iron your hair or use some sort of straightening treatment (like chemically straightening it)?

 

[MMM]

I was going to ask the same thing, actually. If it wasn't chemical, you shouldn't have much trouble getting it back to its natural state. But even if it was, I think you should just give it some time and use the suggested treatments. I don't think curls can be lost forever.

You could always try applying coconut or olive oil to the hair, prior to shampooing. Leave it on for at least an hour before shampooing hair.

I wish I could flat iron the curl right out of my hair - I've been flat ironing for years and my hair still has screwed up ringlets.

 

[topdogg]

Oh yeah I forgot about the oils, great tip Dragonfly. Also I forgot to mention, the lustrasilk can be found at Sally's Beauty Supply for less than $3 and the Loreal at walmart also less than $3.

The best thing to do is lay off the blow drying and flat ironing, as I'm assuming you did not chemically straighten. Treatments will help with the dryness but the only thing that will help your natural curl pattern return is to leave it alone and not to manipulate the cuticle straight

If you chemically straightened your hair, then the only solution to get the curls back is to let your curls grow out. I know this from experience when I relaxed my hair. Hair grows six inches a year so it won't take long for your natural curls to grow out and you can cut off the relaxed hair.

I sleep with a deep conditioner in when my hair is really dry.

Sleeping with a deep conditioner in your hair is pointless unless it was designed to be used overnight....such as KMS California 'I can do it in my sleep' treatment. Once a treatment/conditioner has done all it can do, it just sits on the surface...so whether you leave it on for 20 mins or 7 hours, your gonna get the same result.
