What is the best solution to fix dry damaged hair?

Answer 1

You cannot actually "fix" damaged hair, but you can improve its appearance. The first thing to do is avoid shampooing often. Washing your hair strips all the good oils out of it. When you do shampoo, be sure and use a heavy conditioner (not waxy tho...try something like Bumble & Bumble's DEEEP). You should also do treatments once or twice a week (you can use that same conditioner just put a hot towel on your head and leave in for 10 minutes then rinse). Use leave-in conditioners and try to avoid blow drying and using heat irons if you can. When you do use flat irons, etc. be sure and use a silicone based product like BioSilk's Silk Therapy to help protect your hair from the heat. Mostly you just need to keep your hair hydrated and also keep it trimmed. Split ends just get worse and make your hair look worse......

I know that it can be a pain to have dry damaged hair but there is something that can help and it's pretty cheap to purchase at the grocery store if your a little short on cash too.I am a professional cosmetologist and there is a product that is called collesterol and it can be found in the section where the African black products are shelved at.This collesterol can be used by anyone and believe it or not the same stuff is used in salons and people pay big money just to have their hair deep conditioned with it.It won't leave your hair greasy as you would probably think just because it says collesterol on it.All you do is wet your hair or after you have shampooed it and apply the collesterol as if you were applying conditioner...then leave it in your hair for at least 5-10 minutes depending on how bad your hair is damaged then rinse it out with cool water.The water has to be cool.Whenever people rinse their hair in hot or warm water shampoo remains in their hair still that's why people are to rinse it in cool water so that it rinses out properly.I hope this info is what your looking for.

I use henna/placenta masks, you can buy them at professional beauty supply stores.

I've also used something called Hair Mayonnaise - it's in the section for "ethnic" hair. It works very well to moisturize dry hair, and it seals the hair cuticle, allowing it to Recover.

You could also start taking a multi-vitamin designed for "healthy hair and nails", prenatal vitamins work the same.

Treat your hair more gently, as in, use cool water to wash it, use a gentle or baby shampoo, or something that specifically says "dry or damaged hair". Use conditioners on your hair, brush gently, don't bleach or dye or perm your hair for about a month if possible, go easy on the heat (hair dryers, curling irons or straighteners)...

Answer 4

depends on what you did to damage it-- i would buy the best conditioner- like tresemee- they're really good-- shampoo every other day-- use conditioner everyday and sleep with an oil like v05 in atlleast once a week... it'll take time, but it'll get there... and do not dye- blow dry-- gel or anything to your hair!! leave it natural!

Answer 7

a professional hairdresser is a start. Also try hot oil treatments and deep conditioning for the damaged areas. Try using less blow dryers, curling irons, and hot rollers.

Answer 8

First, get a good haircut and see what they can save, then ask the stylist what they recommend you use for revitalizing your hair. My friend is a cosmetologist and she always says, you get what you pay for. So if you want the cheap walmart crap, don't expect it to do much for you.
