I have medium length hair and love to wear it up in a pony tail, but...?

Question

everytime I do those broken hairs fly every where. I would love to make it look pretty without having to glue it down to my head with hair spray. Does it need more conditioning or something else. Here is the whole run down on my hair. It is color treated Med. Brown (natural hair color is a sand blonde). Every morning I wake up it must be washed or it has enough oil in it to fry chicken. It is shoulder length with bangs and cut into long layers for when I want to curl it. (Which isn't very often) Maybe once a month. I am already using Loreal shampoo for volumn. John Frieda condition for brunettes. John Frieda hair glaze. And the Biosilk (hair oil) only on the ends to help keep them from splitting.
HELP ME! I want that perfect flawless hair I see on TV. Does any one here know there tricks?

Answer 1

Constantly wearing your hair in a ponytail is what is causing the breakage. Your hair is already weak to begin with from coloring. Switch to an organic shampoo that doesn't contain sodium laurel sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate. Use a deep conditioner about once or twice a week. Only apply shampoo to your scalp, when you rinse the shampoo will drift over the rest of your hair and clean it without stripping it.

I'd also recommend installing a shower filter; you will see an amazing difference in your hair:

Your hair will just keep snapping off if you don't do something.

Answer 2

i didnt have to read far to see your problem.....you have color treated hair that tends to make breakage and if you wear it in a ponytail a lot that tends to break hair off too.....( and dont pull hair out either) no matter how much you want to in this situation. I would say stop coloring it let it get healthy again......that is what i did and then i went back to coloring it again and the breakage occured once again......LEAVE IT ALONE

Grow your hair a at least three inches past your shoulder.
