Can someone recommend some good hair care products?

Question

I am black and Puerto Rican and have curly, thick, black hair, that is also damaged (its really dry) it won't lay down unless I straighten it (which I don't want to always have to do) and is perputally dry, I haven't found many products that work on my hair, somebody please HELP

Answer 1

...you sound like me...
...I use Motions shampoo and after shampoo conditioner sometimes b/c they are targeted toward ethnic hair which needs moisture, and I can notice a difference...
...also I use Queen Helen's Cholesterol for severely damaged hair: you leave it on for like 15 min or more if you want, and that stuff leaves the hair moisturized as well., it's a deep conditioner..
...have you ever tried a lotion for your hair, like pink oil moisturizer...
...also when I rinse the conditioner out of my hair I don't rinse it all out, I rinse out enough so that my hair doesn't look white like there is something in it (you may want to ask a pro about this though-I read somewhere that this is not good for the hair cuticle, but every stylist I go to says my hair is in good condition)...

Answer 2

I have used all of these products and for me personally the Dove collection is the best. I color my hair to keep the grey out and I also have thyroid problems which has done a lot of damage to my hair. Dove Cool Moisture line is totally awesome and I think it would work for yours as well. However, I can't fully tell from the pic whether you are african american or mixed or what. I do know that African americans hair is different from the caucasian so it will depend on that also. You could always try contacting the different makers and ask for samples and then see which works best for you. Good luck.

Wear your hair natural honey. Aveda makes greeeat natural products that provide shine and hold. Consider also getting an updated hair cut that is more manageable in your natural curly state.

Answer 5

try using leave on conditioner. there are real thick ones for us in walmart. go to the shampoo and conditioner and hair color aisle, its in one of those aisles and you will see a lil bitty section for us, and u will see a big white pot of leave on conditioner. its good. makes hair soft and rather easier to tame.
