what can i use on my hair to help it with my split ends since i flat iron it every day(african american)?

Question

I always put grease in it but it doesn't seem to help but to keep it from being frizzy.

Answer 1

The best thing for split ends is getting them clipped. Split ends that go un cared for only split further and further until it breaks off all together. Applying heat to your hair eveyday is probably whats breaking it off to begin with. Try not applying heat 2 ur hair everyday. After washing , blowdrying and straigtening the first time, try wrapping your hair to have it styled for the next day and use the flats only to "touch up" if necessary.

Also, try using ceramic flats as oppose to the old metal plated ones. and in addition there is : Fantasia IC Heat Protector Straightening Serum. Its like a protective covering on the hair that allows the heat to penetrate enough to style but not enough to damage. its not thick or greasy and wont weigh down your hair. I use it and it works great!

Answer 2

try some leave in conditioner called 'smooth and shine leave in conditioning creme' its in a grey bottle with a bright pink lid and after you straighten it try john Frieda's frizz ease secret weapon (in a grey bottle) And since you are daily damaging your hair with the iron regular trims are in order, like 1/4 -1/2 and inch every 6 weeks will be a huge help. Another thing that helps protect your hair is the heat tamer spray from tresemme or nexxus, spray your hair lightly before blow drying and before ironing. Try deep conditioning your hair too every week or two, i notice a difference when i use those 3-minute miracle conditioners every so often. PS you can get all that stuff at walmart or target, now if you really wanna pay a bit more at a salon try something called biosilk- a little goes a long way

Answer 3

Use Kemi Oil. They sell it at every hair supply store. Make sure you start using it after getting those ends trimmed sweetie. Grease only slicks stuff down and wears off. You need oil to be nutrients to your ends.

Answer 10

do not use products that have mineral oil or petroleum as their primary ingredients. try to use 100% pure oil like jojoba. i couldn't find it in stores. i had to order it off of the internet.
