Answer 1

Although most will tell you to buy expensive products at Salons and Malls, without question, those still have harmful chemicals, such as alcohol...very drying. The best place to buy hair products is at your local health foods/herbal store. There you can by organic shampoos and conditioners that DO NOT contain those drying chemicals. Stay away from gels, sprays, scrunching, and all sorts of heat related curlers, irons, etc. You didn't say how long your hair is, but I also oil my hair daily, Jojoba works great for me. I use about 4 drops in the palms of my hands, distribute and put it on my hair from ear lobes down. This will not make your hair greasy. Also, invest in a good natural bristle hair brush. It's great for distributing the natural oils from your scalp. There are other oils you can use, Olive is one, but there are many, and only YOU will be able to tell which works better for your hair. I find Olive Oil a bit too heavy, and it has a very telling oder. One thing we don't think about is how we wash our hair. I don't engulf my whole head when washing, I seperate my hair into two bands, one on each side, apply shampoo only on my head area, basically 'washing' my scalp. When I rinse, the soap washes down the length of my hair removing any soil. I finger comb the conditioner thru, and when I'm done, a cold water final rinse. Now comb out's are tangle free.
This will get you on the road to hair recovery. Good luck!

An age-old treatment that my grandmother and mother both used successfully and so do I: Mayonnaise.

Yes, it's a bit stinky, but the proteins and oils in mayonnaise condition and repair the hair without having to use all the chemicals that are present in retail hair care products. Things like Pantene, Infusium23, etc., contain chemicals that are actually MORE damaging to hair in the long run.

Slather your hair with mayonnaise just as you would any other conditioner, then wrap your hair up in a hot towel for 20 minutes. Afterward, shampoo out the mayonnaise and you will see an immediate and lasting difference in your hair. I recommend doing this once a week for mildly frizzy hair, every 3-4 days for exceptionally dead hair.

Dry hair is caused by heat, an open cuticle, chemicals applied to the hair, and poor maintenance.

SOLUTIONS:

1) Less or no heat. When blow drying, use a cooler setting and do not blow dry until the is completely dry.
2) Use acidifiers. Acidifiers close the cuticle down and lock in moisture. Acidifiers have a pH of 2.5 to 3.5. They have a lower pH than hair does in an aqueous solution.

3) Color, perms, relaxers, and other chemicals are sometimes a necessary evil. They rob the hair of humectants. Humectants attract and retain moisture (water) in the cortical layer of the hair. Try to use low ammonia -low peroxide color. Do not leave neutralizer on too long with perms. If possible avoid relaxers.

4) Treat your hair. Replace lost humectants with essential fatty acids (lipids), acidify your hair, use low pH products, use cool water. Replace what was taken out to make your hair dry. Also eat a diet full of essential fatty acids (in moderation and non-animal {no cholesterol}).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Get a good low pH shampoo. High pH shampoos lift the cuticle allowing moisture to evaporate. Here are a few great shampoos for dry hair:

Sunset Hair Elements (Moisturizing) Shampoo (Best Pick)

Matrix Biolage Hydrating Shampoo

Paul Mitchell Moisture and Shine (Creatives)

Redken Moisturizing Shampoo

2) Replace lipids. Your scalp produces sebum. This is the hairs' natural source of lipids or essential fatty acids (EFA's.) If your hair grows past your neck line; The hair makes no or little contact with the body. If you use heat (irons, rollers, blow drying), your hair will get depleted of EFA's.

Sunset Hair Elements (Vanilla Bean) Treatment

Paul Mitchell Hair Repair



3) Acidify. Acidifiers lock the lipids and moisture in the cortex. They are probably the single most important step to good hair. They maintain good hair.
Sunset Hair Elements Hair Re-Balancer

Nexxus Ensure

Redken Extreme

Paul Mitchell "The Rinse"

4) Other -

1/2 teaspoon of safflower oil taken orally a day ( you may build up to 1-2 tablespoons)
or
Omega-3 supplements. They will help you reduce heart attacks by 50% too! (as per CNN)

Answer 4

you at the on the spot are not in simple terms speaking about your hair sticking up once you whip off your hat, accurate? because if that is the purely time you've flyaways, there is probably no situation along with your hair's wellbeing—you're in simple terms triggering a plethora of useful electric powered expenditures. yet when that is sticking up an excellent style of the time, you've were given cuticle damage, which signifies that the strands' outer layers are peeling up, exposing the interior fiber. An intact cuticle protects the fiber; even as that is interrupted, the fiber is extra liable to static, says Paradi Mirmirani, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at Case Western Reserve college. the finest mind-set to tame flyaways is to apply a silicone-depending or leave-in conditioner when you shampoo. The conditioner coats the fiber, making it a lot less at probability of static, says Mirmirani. A organic-bristle brush (not synthetic) also might want to help save issues lower than administration.

Answer 5

The absolute best is to put about a M n M size drop of Olive oil, (do not substitute for any other oil), in the palm of your hand and rub them together, apply this to the ends of your damp hair and massage in, then let it set there about two minutes and style your hair. Do not use more than that and be sure your hair is still damp before applying. You'll love it!

Answer 6

One down side to working with my mom is that every day when I walk in she tries to fix my hair. The upside is she actually gave me a good hair tip.

When I walk in and my hair is all frizzy she brushes it with a round brush, and puts a VERY little bit of lotion of my roots and smooths it through my hair. It works unbelievably well. It's not a permanent solution, but its a miracle in a pinch!

Answer 7

you can always buy those anti frizz creams for your hair. almost all brands make them. my coworker has this amazing product from Virginia. i dont remember what it is. something with the + sign. small white and red bottle. its great. i used it once, she let me. but i havent found anything either. i have the same problem. i usually put a little water on my hands and run it through my hair to calm the frizz down. but that wont help long.

John Freida?
Maynonaisse also works.... BUT it takes forever, I am talking 6 washes to wash it all out. You're supposed to coat your hair in mayo and let it sit for like 10 mins... I don't know how desperate you are.... I don't think I would personally do it again, but I thought I would put it out there....

Answer 9

you can try products such as sleek look by matrix and if you dont want to pay alot for it there is an off brand that suave makes and its in an orange tube its their perfessionals line it works just as good! or you may also try frizz eaze i heard that it works pretty good but i really like the sleek look!

Answer 10

You can buy some good products at stores and malls,especially salon places,and when you wash your hair use a musse and a conditioner.
