Conditioning questions!?

Question

Ok. I have thick, curly, semi-frizzy hair, and someone had told me that if I condition it everyother day, it'll make the hair limp. Does that mean it will be thin? {does limp=thin?} My hair is naturally on the dry side, so if it makes it oily, will it matter since its not usually oily anyway?

Answer 1

Limp=lifeless;no volume. In your case thow, It can only help it; if however it does start making it appear oily then keep it off the scalp area and just condition the midshaft to ends.

Answer 2

You don't really want your hair limp do you?
Condition it.
Yes by all means do.
As it is on the dry side, it needs it.
Don't go to the extreme, wanting it limp.
Your thick hair has a natural body.
A lot of women with fine hair would die to have that.
But anyway conditioning it is.
If, by any chance you are not happy with your products perhaps you should try the following remedy:
Wet your hair then towel dry.
Apply a good dollop of mayonnaise.
Leave for 1 hour.
Shampoo as usual with warm water.
Add 1 tbsp (20ml) cider vinegar to the final rinse.
Your hair will appreciate it.

Conditioning is a necessity for every hair type every time you wash. It leaves hair soft and healthy. It does not make hair limp (no limp does not = fine but flat instead). Conditioning every time you wash is definately necessary for those with dry hair. The best type of conditioner if an intensive one like Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. Deep conditioning conditioners do not need to be used every time you wash, but I find that it helps hair become healthier. I have thick wavy/frizzy hair and it doesn't even make my hair flat. I have to do that myself....LOL.

This is an secret that is over 200 yrs. old. If your hair is short (pixie) try this. In an older glass, put approx. 1/2" of virgin olive oil. For each additional foot of hair, add another 1/2" of oil.
Put that glass in a small pot of approx. 2" of water on the stove with a low flame. Take a shower. DO NOT PUT SHAMPOO IN YOUR HAIR, JUST WET IT.
Then towel dry your hair. Go to the kitchen & put the oil in your hair. It may be a bit warm or hot. If it is too hot, take the glass & let it rest for a few minutes. Then apply all over your scalp & hair & rub it in like a massage. Wrap your head in the towel that was on your head. Watch a TV show or whatever for 1-2 hrs. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN OLDER CASE ON YOUR PILLOW, OIL WILL GO ON IT WHILE SLEEPING.
The following morning, wash your hair. You will have oil from the prev. day but it will be saturated by your scalp.
Do this whenever you have dandruff or dryness is felt.

Answer 5

conditioning doesn't make it limp, it moisturizes and will help the frizziness. try a leave in conditioner like infusium too. i've read you should only shampoo your hair every other day becasue it strips your hair of essential nutrients, but to condition it every day is ok. you can get a really light conditioner if you're worried about your hair. my friend has hair that's really curly and thick, and she doesn't have any problem using conditioner!! and it has nothing to do with thin hair... having thin hair is a combination of gentics and hair colour (darker hair is thicker, red hair is very thin, other colours are in between)

Answer 6

Most curly-haired people swear by conditioner! (I, included). I wash my hair every other day - but when I feel like my hair's flat and funky-looking on the second day, I'll just wet it down and run conditioner through it. I feel like my hair tends to be dry, like most people with curly hair. This absolutely works for me. I know of someone else that does not shampoo at all, ever...and she has the most gorgeous ringlets I know. She just wets her hair down and really rubs at her scalp to get rid of the dirt and uses conditioner. Conditioners should not make you feel oily, just make sure you're using a conditioner specifically for daily use for most days, and occasionally add in a deep conditioning protein masque to keep your hair in top shape.

Answer 7

No it does not = limp. My daughter has really thick straight hair that goes poofy if I dont use conditioner on her hair and I have to use it daily. I really think it would help your hair with it being on the dry side. Go to the store and find one that matches your hair and give it a try.

Answer 8

Conditionig the hair that often could leave too much build up not to mention possibly dry you out even more.limp hair doesn't neccesarily mean thin ,in your case the hair may just lack bounce and movement.

Answer 9

limp=flat , no curl to it.

Use raw eggs twice a week in the shower.

Answer 10

wash your hair every day and condition it every other day. if you condition too much, your hair will become even more dry.
