What is the best deep conditioner for dry, frizzy, damaged hair?

Question

My hair is prone to being frizzy, dry, and damaged. Usually I leave regular conditioner on for 10 minutes and rinse off, otherwise my hair is a mess. What cheap drugstore deep conditioner can I use once a week?

Answer 1

Well, I use Pantene and I switched to Herbal Essences which is amazing. But here are some other things I do to help with my dry hair.

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. :)

Best Cheap Deep Conditioner

Answer 3

You'll wind up spending way more money in the long run for the cheap drugstore stuff that likely won't work as well for your hair, as it is so diluted that you aren't really going to save any money. I recommend "Sleek" that can be found at your local JCPenny's Salon. It comes in an orange bottle, and I am very satisfied with it. I find I only have to use a little, and I can tell a difference in my hair right away. Don't skimp on your hair or skin, take care of both with the best product you can afford, you will be glad you did.

Answer 4

Nexus Humectress is not a cheap drugstore conditioner but it is the BEST deep conditioner I know. But Suave Aloe Vera's a good cheap conditioner. Rubbing a small dab of conditioner between your hands and then onto your hair helps with the frizzies, which I have too!

Answer 5

Try a deep treatment of olive oil, honey, and Suave conditioner mixed together. Put it on clean, dry hair and leave it there for at least a half hour. You can use your hair dryer to heat your hair so the treatment can penetrate deeper. Just rinse and your hair should be clean, shiny, and soft when you're done. I did this the other day and my hair was beautiful when I was done and there wasn't any excess oil left in my hair.

Answer 6

I suggest you first consider buying a frizz tamer, like the famous John Freida Frizz Ease, sold at Walgreens, Wal-Mart and most drug stores. Although I haven't used the Pantene Deep Conditioner, I think it would work really well for your hair type (I don't have that hair type so I haven't tried the Pantene). Good luck! Worst-Case Scenario - go get a consulting from a salon you trust.

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://tr.im/yBNgf
While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

Answer 8

Pantene Pro V, it's great. If you can afford it, try pureology. It's a little expensive, but it lasts for about 6 months or so. You only use about the size of a nickle. Try it, you'll love it!!

Answer 9

Aside from a MAYONNAISE treatment (it's kind of yucky to wash out but worth it) - it has egg yolk, oil and vitamins in it; use Infusium 23 original formula. It truly smooths the frizz out.

Answer 10

use olive oil once a month!It'll make your hair shiny,and healthier
Just pour it in your hair even it out wrap it in some plastic over night.It works great,but it'll take a couple of washes to get it out!It also gets rid of split ends!
