Question

what are some good shampoos and conditioners also some styling products for VERY dry hair that is very curly I have spent tons of money on different things but nothing seems to help I u se to have very nice hair but i chemically straightened it and dyed it a couple times now its ruined

Answer 1

I love Aussie Hair Insurance!

Also, I know this sounds nasty, but it ROCKS....put mayonnaise in your hair and let it sit there for about an hour before washing it out (focus on the ends especially)....it really makes hair soft! :)

Answer 2

Really, the best way to combat dry and unmanagable hair is to begin on the inside. Are you drinking 32 ounces of water a day? If not, go to your nearest container store (actually called The container store) They carry a water bottle that actually holds 32 ounces of water for like 5 bucks. That way you know you are drinking the correct amount each day. You should also take a women's multivitamin and a biotin supplement. Trust me these things will help over time! Now, to deal with whats on your head I would recommend weekly hot oil treatments with jojoba oil (purchase at the vitamin shoppe or GNC) The stuff is AMAZING. For weekly deep conditioning, take one avacado and peal it. Mash up the avacado, mix with one egg and some olive oil. Put on your hair (focusing on the ends) and leave on for one hour with a shower cap, if you have a hood dryer you can also sit under it for 20 minutes. Follow by shampooing and conditioning this stuff out of your hair. I use natural shampoos and conditioners form the vitamin shoppe. I bought Jojoba shampoo and conditioner for a total of 6 bucks from the shop and it works great. Make sure you are trimming your ends every 8-10 weeks to get rid of your dead ends. I hope you have stopped chemically straightening your hair as i was forced to do years ago. Instead I use a 1inch ceramic iron to straighten my naturally kinky-curly hair. It works great and wont frizz out my ends.This iron costs about a hundred bucks but is well worth the price. There are cheaper ones on the market but they are usually made with ceramic coated plates which dont work as well and wont protect your hair from heat damage. Some great irons include the Chi and the maxiglide. Both are sold at bed bath and beyond! Good luck

I like the Pantene shampoo that is a volumizer and has both shampoo and conditioner in it. For conditioning soak your hair in a water bath with Jojoba oil for about 5 minutes before you wash it. Or you could try Pantene Pro-V Frizz Down Deep moisturizing Treatment.

The sad truth is a lot of hair dyes (especially cheap ones) and straighteners can ruin your hair. For some reason Aveda products did that to me, even though I had used them in a professional salon for several years before. Maybe they changed the formula, or maybe my hair or body chemistry changed.

In any case the best you could probably do is to keep it shorter now for a while until the old damaged hair grows out. If you can afford it get a hair dresser who really knows what they are doing and is not locked into a specific product line.

Answer 4

Try someplace like Sally Beauty Supply. I once tried this deep conditioning treatment from there. It comes in a little glass tube and you break the tip off then massage it into your hair. Anyway, go to a supply store and ask someone there. If your hai is super dry you might want professional help.

Answer 5

I also have thick, dry, curly hair. I have been using a product from QVC called Ojon. Check it out. My hair is doing great it is practically frizz free and is not breaking off like it was. They have a whole line of products but I just use the Ojon treatment. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Go to an Aveda salon and talk to someone there, just at the recpetion desk. They will help you figure out whats not working for you and your hair and find something that helps YOU. Their products are higher priced than some but they are all natural and work. Its like THERAPY for your hair. And I don't even buy into the whole "salon" thing. But Aveda is good stuff.

I havedry hair but good products are Motions shampoo and conditioner, Olive oil shampoo and conditioner, and Paul Mitchel.
Also Olive oil moistirizer is good.

Answer 8

here's a little secret every night for 2 weeks massage 100% extra virgin olive oil into your scalp and use a spray bottle to dampen then lenght of your hair pay attention to the very dry ends, cove it with a sleeping cap and wash it out in the morning after two weeks your hair will be shiney, health, full and will not be dry.. repeat every 6 months!!!

Answer 9

try using products for ethnic hair. mizani works well. that's what i use on my clients - even white clients - with dry or coarse hair.
also, towel dry before conditioner. conditioners have oil and oil and water don't mix.
shampoo every other to every 3rd day.

hey org.xena i have a case of bio silk you can HAVE. i can't stand that stuff. it makes my back break out. none of my clients like it either. it's o.k. for thin , fly away hair, though.

Answer 10

I know someone just like you. Use a shampoo called CHI and conditioner also buy a CHI iron gaurd spray you spray it on and protects your hair from the iron. It's really good and works! www.haircareusa.com/farouk_chi.htm [copy & paste this in the box]
