hmmm so .. i now realise my hair is crap .. coz the products dont work and also i need to eat a lil more healthy :P

Answer 2

Yes, I do know that Redken products do work.
As some one stated in another answer Pantene coats the hair with wax, as does Mane and tail leaving the feeling of healthier hair, but really does not repair. (Does make it more difficult sometimes to preform Chemical services such as color, perms, relaxers because of the coating.
The Redken Extreme line contains protein-for internal strengthening, ceramides for cuticle reinforcement and lipids to smooth and seal the cuticle allowing the protein and ceramides to stay in the hair and strengthen. There is a product in the line called Anti-snap which you leave in to prevent breakage-AWESOME STUFF!! and C.A.T. Which is a cystaic acid treatment which essentially strengthen the hair internally by repairing the bonds with in the hair. It works wonders-just note that it works on an internal basis so there is not alot of "cosmetic feel" like a conditioner but it does help to strengthen, and repair. The other great product in the line is Deep Fuel-it works on all three levels and does leave a great feel to the hair. You can also have treatments done in the salon. These treatment are more concentrated, and work very well. Look for a salon that offers the Chemistry System by Redken! try www.redken.com salon finder to locate.

Answer 3

Yes, some products to strengthen hair can work.
Hair is protein. Hair products have the same goal; to clean hair. That's all. It's just that some clean better than others. Hair products which claim to make stronger, can be true, as they just affect the hair roots (e.g. Head and Shoulders can help with the dandruff). They help with the shininess, and they can sometimes help with stronger hair (as they coat the hair to prevent split ends and breakages).
The more acidic the shampoo is, the shinier the hair, as the hair cuticles smoothen out, instead of "fluffing out"
Here are more opinions from FAQ Farmers:
·Your hair is made up of dead cells. There's no way that they could be regenerated. If anything, a hair product would basically act like a layer of laquer on a wood surface. It'll laminate your hair, but the hair itself will still be as strong or as weak as before.
·Hair is not made of dead cells, it was never alive, it's just protein. Hair can be made stronger if you are to repair the proteins, or coat the hair with something that provides a protective barrier that provides support.
·Hair IS made of dead cells, just like nails. Cells are made of protein. Ever wondered what protein does?
·Hair products that claim to make hari stronger work most of the time. Products like Pantene Pro-V coat the hair in wax, making it appear more healthier and be more stronger. Garnier Fructis makes hair stronger by adding a thin layer of citrus oils to each strand. The oil makes the hair stronger, in a non-greasy way, and shinier. It is best to look for products that have citrus oils in the ingredients, for a more natural option to have stronger hair. Suggested product lines are Garnier Fructis and Citre Shine.

Answer 4

Normally the claims made by them are not 100% true, But the product contains more or less the nutrious material for the hair which makes hair strong enough, Normal care i.e. oiling,brushing,shampooing at regular interval(by natural means-Reetha) and most important taking care that hair doesn't gets dirty. This is enough to make ur hair strong .

Answer 5

Some do. I found that Mane 'N Tail hair care products actually work. Also Dr. Miracles hair products and Doo Gro works really well.

Answer 6

Some products are really effective for our hair to make it strong.

In my view Ayurvedic hair oil named gayatri is really effective to make our hair strong, Anti dandruff and promotes hair growth.


So gayatri is the best hair oil which promotes hair growth and make our hair strong forever.
