My hair is so dry!!

Use super skinny by Paul Mitchell. It makes your hair sleek and healthy looking. Also use low PH shampoos if you don't want to buy Paul Mitchell. Use a moisturizing hair mask weekly or maybe a conditioning gloss. I reccommend Clariols conditioning gloss or Sunsilk TLC Mask. A great way to moisturize your hair is actually with mayo! Yes mayo, you've heard about it right? Works miracles.

maybe your shampoo is too harsh, but it also pays to have a really good conditioner. i love pantene prov and i use it daily. i use the "for women of color" formula, but they make so many i'm sure there's one that will work for you. i also deep conditiion weekly with queen helene cholestrol condtioner. for women of color dryness is the enemy because it can lead to breakage and severe hair loss, so i know how you feel. try the queen helene. it really helped to infuse my hair with more moisture and reduce breakage! hope this helps!

Everybody's hair is so different, but mine was like straw, too, and I kept putting serious conditioners on it, good ones, not cheap stuff, and nothing was helping. Then I pulled out a bottle of Aveda Clarifying Shampoo from the back of my cabinet, did one shampoo with it, and it helped LOT! Evidently, all the stuff I'd been using had built up to the point where nothing could get through the gunk. Worth a try.

I loove Infusium 23. It's very moisturizing, and meant for heavily damaged hair.

[candaysee]

Where are you guys getting your coconut oil from? Do you use it like a deep conditioner and then wash it out? or leave it in?

I have some Loreal natures therapy I got it from Sallys. I haven't used it much because I'm not sure if I use it on dry hair or wet. I think it is a deep conditioner. Does anyone else know?? Also where can I get the coconut oil? How do I use it?

olive oil is an amazing treatment. Once or twice a week. apply Olive oil in a smallest amount to your hair. Comb it through and wrap a plastic grocery bag ( or shower cap) around it. Use the blow dryer to warm it up for a few minutes and let it sit for 30 mins at least. When that done, use a moisturizing shampoo & conditioner and things should start looking better soon!

I use Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deeep (I've heard it's better than the original) and Joico K-Pak Reconstructor to deep condition. My hair is very long (mid-back) and damaged, but it's been feeling and looking smoother ever since I started using these 2 products.

Also, I've recently ben introduced to conditioner-only washing (CO washing). You basically use a cheap drugstore conditioner with no silicones in it (like Suave or VO5) to "wash" your hair. It takes a while to get used to doing this, but your hair won't be as stripped of its oils and will feel healthier. Just remember to use alot of product (since it doesn't suds up) and rinse, rinse, rinse like crazy! Good luck!

I love Bodyshop Honey Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Smells gorgeous like marzipan. Their Brazil Nut Hair Mask is good too.

 

[KellyB]

I love, love, love Biolage and I deep condition weekly.

Another thumbs up for Olive Oil.

I think most commercial shampoos and conditioners cause dryness, rather than help it. The only thing that cured my dry hair was conditioner washing and use of oils. I've found jojoba and camellia work best for dry hair.
