Answer 1

1. stop blow drying
2. if you must blow dry, then use the cool heat(not high heat)
3. use moisturizing shampoos for dry/damaged hair
4. thick conditioners like herbal essences work very well if you leave them on for a couple of minutes, then rinse
5. if your hair is extremely dry then use a leave-in conditioner designed for moisturizing.

If thermal styling is killing your locks, switch to thermal protective products that coat and protect your cuticle. Also, towel dry hair completely before reaching for your blow dryer. Damp hair holds a style just fine, according to Jesse Briggs, of Yellow Strawberry salon in Ft. Lauderdale. He recommends removing moisture first, then switching to a cool setting to lock in shape and curl. Also, get regular trims to get rid of split ends and dry hair from the inside out; don't start with the surface and risk leaving hair underneath half damp. Brigg's other tips for combating dry, damaged hair are easy to do at home. For a little kitchen magic, mix 1 cup of olive oil, a whole egg and 1/3 cup of honey. Pour through your hair, comb through and wait for at least 3 hours before rinsing completely. (This does take a lot of rinsing.) A vinegar rinse restores shine if you don't wash it out; the smell is only momentary and will go away soon.

In the future, hold your dryer at least six inches from your head and move it continuously when drying. Keep curling and straightening irons from getting too hot for hair by spritzing them with water in intervals as you style your hair.

Many people that have thing they have "dry hair" do not. Dry hair is a lack of moisture not fatty acids. To replace lost essential fatty acids is very easy to do. Simply purchase safflower oil (the kind you cook with) (it is very high in essential fatty acids and about 33% vitamin E). Take a drop or two, rub it into your hands, and work it in to the ENDS of your hair. Apply when your is dry not wet or damp. Remember, a little goes a long way!It will take away the brittleness of the hair. I repeat a drop or two.

Answer 2

Do not wash your hair every day. Try to being down the wash to once or twice a week. Also, use products like Matrix or Biolage to regain the moisture.

Answer 3

You could deep condition once a week. You can find a deep conditioner at Sally's. Put the conditioner on your hair after you shampoo, put plastic cap over it, let it set for 10-15 mins, rinse out. It can do wonders for your hair.

Answer 4

attempt conditioning merely the ends...and attempt a diverse type of conditioner while you're transforming into greasy hair!!! and circulate away some conditioner on your hair once you bathe. take a shower, rinse, dry your hair and brush it..then take merely slightly conditioner and rub it on your arms and placed it on your hair and enable it dry. this has labored properly for me once I dye my hair too lots and it kills it!!! additionally you are able to attempt putting some mouse in it whilst its moist and it would help shop the frizzies down!
