Answer 2

You will most likely do best with a trim first and then a good vitamin C treatment. You can request one at the salon or ask to purchase one to do at home. Be aware that the vitamin C treatment however will neutralize your hair colour too though, but it gives you something fresh to work with. Condition every day and not every other day. You can do this with the right conditioner that won't make your hair feel weighed down. Also it is important in styling that you use products that will protect your hair. An ionic iron and hairdryer help. Kenra has some great products to protect your hair and actually help repair it.

Emma, This a general answer because I can't see YOUR hair. But I would trim as much of your hair you can do without, then buy a professional shampoo and conditioner. If you don't have a stylist go to Sally's and you need a shampoo that will cond but not weigh hair down.Buy 2 types on cond. one for everyday (leave-in) and a DEEP cond. 2 times a week then 1 time a week with regular trims. never substitute the cheap shampoos & cond. especially when hair ir fried or dry. Professional product s are not that much more expensive and there more concentrated, trust me!

Answer 4

If your conditioner were actually "conditioning" your hair, you wouldn't need to use it every other day. Try a quality product like "Emergen-C" by Nexxus, "911" made by Hayashi, or consult a salon that uses products like Redkin, Paul Mitchell, or Mastay.
What you more than likely need is a deep conditioner that will replace not only the moisture that is missing from your damaged hair, but also the protien needed to hang on to the moisture.
You can spend a little bit of money, over and over, on street conditioners; or spend a little bit more, once or twice, on a quality conditioner. The choice is yours, but I recommend the little bit more option.
Good luck to you.

Answer 5

Go to a beauty supply store, I go to Sally's you don't have to be a beautician to go and get mudd for your hair, Its a curring mud. I have thick coarse hair and I also color, it says use once a week but I use every other day. Just make sure you wash first thing then put the conditioner on before you do anything else that way it gets as long as possible on your hair. I used to use the Aussie brand but I am not sure if they make it anymore and i have been out of my mudd for a while so I don't remember the name of it. I love it.
Good Luck

My mother in law had this same problem from years and years of perms and bad dye jobs. She does a VO5 hot oil treatment every Saturday night and uses this healing treatment called a placenta mask for your hair. Gross sounding but very good though. She also started taking a simple vitamin E pill every moring. It does take time to get healthy hair to grow. Another tip would be to get a lot of dead cut off. It may sound crazy but it will actually make your hair look much healthier with the dead dry hair cut off. Enjoy pampering yourself and be good to you hair.

Answer 7

How good is your conditioner? and go to a salon and you will pay a lot more for it but find a deep conditioner that helps dry and brittle hair

Answer 8

Do a deep conditioning! it is really easy...

Wash your hair like you normally would and rinse out the shampoo very very well. get out and towel dry your hair

Apply a palm full of conditioner (it doesn't matter what kind) to your hair rub it in as mush as possible but do not rinse it out yet!

Comb your hair (with the condition still in it)

Wrap your hair in a towel and leave it for at least 30 minutes then comb it again and rinse it out.

You need to do this at least once a week if your hair has a lot of damage.

Answer 9

Have your ends trimmed to give it a polished look. Use a deep conditioner at least once every other week, apply a polisher and lay off total colorings for a while. Do root touch-ups only.

Answer 10

How about giving yourself a good hair cut, and starting over. Is that your picture on your Avatar? Pretty colour....I know dying your hair can do some damage, but its worth it...don't you think??
