How do I make my hair softer and silky?? My hair's thick and rough and feels sorta dry. What methods and hair products should I use??

Answer 1

You can use mayonnaise, beer (for shiny) or go to a professional & they can put a mask (masque) on it for shine & softness.

Answer 2

Shampoo, then condition. Proper shampooing is the first step to a healthy scalp and manageable hair, but don't use a conditioning shampoo. Two-in-one products that combine shampoo and conditioner really can't do a good job of either cleansing or conditioning. After all, how can a product effectively remove and add substances at the same time?

Instead, use a gentle shampoo to cleanse, then follow with a conditioner specifically geared for dry hair every time you shampoo. Don't worry about shampooing too often. Today's gentle shampoos are designed for frequent use.

Deep-condition regularly. To fill nicks and chips in the hair's damaged outer layer and restore shine, deep-condition. Depending on the condition of your hair, once a week or once every few weeks is all that is needed. Consisting of various combinations of natural and synthetic ingredients (including proteins, polymers or other additives), deep conditioners don't "feed" your hair; they just fill in defects and coat the hair shaft, resulting in a smooth, flat surface that will reflect light and restore shine to your hair.

For maximum effectiveness apply a deep conditioner before you shampoo. Gently work the conditioner into your hair with your fingertips and allow it to be absorbed for a few minutes. Then shampoo and follow with your regular conditioner.

Pat your hair dry. Hair dryers and blowers--and even vigorous towel-drying--can rough up the outer layer of hair cells. So whenever possible, pat or gently squeeze your hair dry with a towel and avoid rough handling.

Use thermal styling conditioners. If you must blow-dry your hair, spray it with a thermal conditioner such as HeatSafe before you plug in your dryer. HeatSafe combines four different types of moisturizers designed to both treat and prevent dry hair.

Protect your tresses. To prevent the sun from drying your hair or exacerbating hair that's already dry, mist your hair with a sunscreen made for hair before you hit the beach or head for the pool. Or wear a hat whenever you're out in the sun.

Good luck. :)

There is this product called Ojon oil. Use it weekly (or in your case, possibly bi-weekly) and your hair will feel hydrated within a few weeks. This product is gaining a lot of media attention and has made my hair look SO good. I've included a link for you to check it out. It is available at Sephora, Nordstrom, qvc.com has great deals on it that you can't find at other stores. Good luck!

Answer 4

Try Tresseme. Sorry if that is the wrong spelling. The shampoo is in a big black bottle and the conditioner is in a big white bottle.

You could also use Tea Tree Oil from the the Body Shop.

I have very thick, dry hair too. I found out that using VO5 strawberries and milk line helps so much! I have the shampoo and conditioner, and not only does it smell heavenly, but it detangles my hair and makes it super soft. U can find it in any drugstore or stores like Kmart.
