Answer 2

Well first of all you have to make sure your hair is healthy. If it has been over processed, chemicalized (is that a word?) over styled or various other things, nothing is going to make it soft and silky without actually causing further damage.

Secondly, you have to consider what your natural hair type is. If it is coarse, you may have to soften it first. If it is thick, you will probably have to condition it carefully.

Generally, I try to use a shampoo and conditioner (from the same line is best as they are formulated to boost each other and will not have "conflicts" that could mess with your hair) with more organic components and minimal perfumes/artificial scents. I don't use many styling products on my hair, but if you do try to be efficient with it and use as little as you can in the most expedient places. Try to give your hair a break from too many chemicals fairly regularly.

Here are some suggestions that other of my friends have done... but I am merely passing them on and not reccommending them personally:

Take a long trip to a foreign country (she went to India). Do not wash you hair the entire time. It will repair and replenish itself.

Never wash your hair (this friend has beautiful, thick hair)... or rather, use soap, not shampoo... and not too often. Do not use styling products. Cut it regularly to keep the ends healthy.

Only wash your hair 3x a week. This lets the natural oils replenish and "repair" more of your hair (instead of just your roots). Wash using a gentle shampoo. Always condition.

Brush your hair one hundred strokes every night. Repeat this process in the morning. (This is from my grandmother who has always had lovely, long hair but who -- until recently -- always wore it up, pinned neatly, in the same style for almost the entirety of my memory).

Hope one of these suggestions helps.

Products bought in salon stores are not THAT expensive and definitly worth every penny. In addition to using quality products (an at-home hair treatment is a must for soft and healthy hair), make sure you blow dry your hair correctly. When you dry your hair (after the shower) don't do it too briskly. Put in a leave in conditioner so when you brush you don't snag your hair, causing frizz. Invest in a ceramic/ ionic blowdryer (its faster and far less damaging than traditional metal dryers). Towel dry your hair as much as you can -gently- and when you blow dry, point the nozzle downwards towards the ends of hair, this allows the airflow to flow with the hair shaft and not against. This seals the hair cuticle. When you are finished styling, blast hair with the cool shot button on your dryer, this will set your hair and add shine. Run a shine serum or varnish through the ends of your hair and voila, soft and silky hair.

there are several different cheap home treatments you can apply to help your hair as a mask and then wash out.
Mayonaise
Olive oil
avocado.

But it really depends on how damaged your hair is and from what. The very best way to get silky undamaged hair is to not use heat on it, no dyes, no perms and trim it regularly...oh, a good healthy diet.

Answer 5

There's this really good hair product I use called Hask Shine Spray. It makes your hair soft, silky and gets rid of frizz. Spray it on your hair before you style it or dry it, and then afterwards. Just make sure you spray it about a foot away from your hair.

You can get Hask Shine Spray pretty much anywhere. (Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Target, etc)

Answer 6

Use a hot oil treatment done weekly. The hot oil by V05 or Suave works wonders!! and it only costs a couple of bucks for 3 tubes! My hair is long and thick...after using hot oil it becomes very shiny, smooth, and lushiously silky.

Answer 7

Get a reconstructive conditioner from the beauty supply and after you wash squeeze out the excess moisture and then apply it, get out of the shower and wrap a warm(out of the dryer) towel around all of your hair and leave on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse and style.

Answer 8

any moisturizing shampoo and conditioners, like pantene professional v common care, dove, aussie. be certain you save changing on shampoo and conditioners because it makes the hair softer, and brushing i come across makes it softer in assessment to a broom, in case you nonetheless pick help with shine then a serum or ending spray.

Answer 9

Eat right is #1 and don't use products that damage your hair such as hair spray. Try not to blow dry your hair as often.

Answer 10

I use some kind of rice conditioner I got from Mark, which is a line of make up and stuff from Avon. At first I was kind of like WTF, Rice? But it really works great, my hair always feels so soft, and it smells really good.

Answer 11

use conditioner- paul mitchell tea tree special is my personal favorite, but you can also use pantene pro-v. Use leave in conditioner too- I like farouk systems biosilk.
