What are some good hair products?

Question

Ok I have naturally curly hair,and I straighten it with a flat iron.I have been doing it for a few years and now my hair is pretty dead.So is there any products out there(Shampoo/Conditioner/Leave-in products) that will make it healthy again?And also will look fine if I leave it curly?And advice will be appreciated...Thanks:)

Thanks for all of your help.I will do some research on some of the things mentioned.
Also I do use a heat protection before I straighten it,so my hair isnt like completely dead,it just could be healthier.
Thanks:)

Answer 1

Use professional products store brands have very high pH levels and will make your hair dry and dull no matter what they say they do. If you do have to get over the counter brand stuff I recommend White Rain or Suave, they are cheap but their pH levels are exactly where they are supposed to be (between 4.5 and 5.5) Don't use panteen pro v, we tested it when I was in cosmetology and the best conditioner they had that was supposed to be for super dry hair had a pH level of 10 it was the worst we tested.
Also get something to protect your hair before you straighten it, never just run the straightener over clean hair it will dry it out. I use Nexxus Heat Protexx. It is very light so you won't be able to see it, it makes your hair nice and shiny when you use it. And it isn't very expensive for a professional product. And you can buy it in walmart even though it is professional.
To help repair your hair I recommend Paul Mitchel Super Strength Conditioner. It is wonderful and full of protein (your hair is made from protein). And you don't need very much of it, it should last you at least 3 months. My hair is shoulder length and it lasts me about 6 months so it is really worth the money, because you don't go through as much of it as you do with store brand conditioners.

Good luck I really hope this helps.

Natural curly hair is a hard call!
I have it and straighten mine I also did hair for 14+ years. All hair is dead cells. So the only way to get it gona from a worse state is to get it cut. But with curly hair that can be a HUGE problem as our hair looks so much shorter than straight hair even with just and inch.
Try mayonaise or egg yolks. It's kinds gross but makes it feel better. Sleek by Matrix has a tube of conditioner that really does a great job to.
I would lay off the flat iron for a while and just do it curly trying not to put so much heat on it.
You can also get deep conditioning treatments once a month but do not over condition your hair as this can result in more dryness...ironic huh?
But you really need to cut at least an inch off and keep it up!
When you blow dry it hold the air pointing down so it keeps frizzes down!
Good Luck!

Sounds like your hair is fried. There are some good conditioners, leave in treatments and oils that will make your hair look better once you cut off the really french fried bit. Check out the beauty supply stores for conditioners. I use Sexy Hair products, leave in conditioner-they have a spray, they are soy based.

do a little research and go see someone in a salon who likes to work with curly hair. Call them up, talk to the receptionist, ask who does well with curly hair. Some really like it and some 'just do it' because they have to.

You may have to go thru shorter-than-you-want-hair for a while...but guess what!? Hair Grows!!! and it looks better when it looks healthy.

Are you using the ceramic iron? or metal? careamic is better.

There is also a blow dryer by conair, for $60 bucks that straightens and shines as it dries and has all kinds of ceramic combs or something...supposed to not fry your hair.

Good luck!

I have very frizzy hair and making it look brilliant has been a consistent war. I talked to a good pal who's a stylist and requested him what shampoos ought to help my hair. I also informed him that i did not opt for to spend an arm and a leg on salon products! He suggested that Garnier Fructis is the perfect belongings you could get outdoors of salons. I used smooth & shine for awhile and it worked properly! Now i exploit "Shine Burst" and that i love it! i imagine my hair seems and scents more advantageous suited than even as i replaced into utilising expensive Redken products! So, in case you opt for optimum shine, use a good shampoo, like Garnier Fructis Shine Burst and follow with a similar conditioner. in case you blow-dry use a serum of a few style. (is often got here upon close to Garnier products!)

Answer 6

Try Redken Extreme or Redken Allsoft. Also, make sure you're using a heat protectant spray before you use the flat iron. A serum to finish off your style is an absolute necessity.

Answer 7

Pantene works reallly good. Get the kind for curly hair. I have curly hair too, and thats pretty much all I use.

Answer 8

All hair is already dead. Hair is made up of dead cells. That is why when you cut your hair you do not get hurt.


To answer your question though, use treseme. Its cheap for the quality, and they have all sorts of products. Just get the one that strengthens and repairs damaged hair.
