i've already tried washing my hair every 3days, but i get dandruff. should i still hang in there?
and, i've tried using conditioner(only) for a month already, i think there's no effect, isn't it?
im using Palmolive Intensive Moisture Shampoo(know that?), it has natural milk protein and coco cream. do you think if i use it every 3days it will bring back the health of my hair?

Stop washing your hair.
A person should wash their hair at the most, once a day.
In all honesty, every other day....or even every three days is much better for your hair.
You've literally washed away every bit of protection that you've naturally made for your hair!
For the next few weeks, if you actually stop washing your hair but once a day or every other day....in the beginning, you're going to hate your hair. It will feel extremely greasy, icky and gross. Just hang in there.....it will get normal again, but STOP washing it so much.

I am glad you stopped over washing it, Stop using the cheap stuff from the pharmacy that has nothing but alcohol in it which dries your hair even more. You to the salon or if you are on a tight budget see if there is a beauty school close to you and get a deep conditioning treatment and some good shampoo, conditioner and styling products.

I bet your hair is very clean ... he he... but unfortunately it's not feeling to healthy right now. I have a few tips that might help you with your hair as your nurse it back to health.
I suggest, as many of the other answers have said, to cut back to shampooing every other day or every third day. Unless you are sweating excessively (or rolling around in the dirt) your hair isn't getting that dirty anyway.
I don't suggest going into a phase of conditioning it excessively in an attempt to put moisture back in. Conditioners are a double bladed sword in the sense that conditioning the hair is great but it's easy to over condition it as well. Over conditioned hair tends to be lifeless and almost too soft. A little olive or vegetable oil left in the hair for about thirty minutes once a week will give you some moisture back and help with the dryness.
In addition, it is helpful to brush your hair with a boar hair bristle brush. The boar hairs actually distribute your scalps natural oils to the shafts of your hair and help to protect your locks.
Let your hair 'breathe' for awhile, as well. Don't blow dry it unneccesarily and definately don't attack it with a hot iron. Hair products can be full of drying chemicals, so avoid them for awhile if neccesary.
Finally, you might try taking flax seed vitamins. Check to make sure that they are alright for you to take (and I say this because I'm not a doctor, he he), and if so try taking one to two caplets a day. Flax seed serves multiple functions, but one thing that it does is bring natural moisture to the skin and scalp.
Best of luck to you and your hair!
p.s.: when you are shampooing, make sure you are using a good PH balanced product. It makes all the difference in the world.

WelI I think you should start with a deep conditioning product like V05 hot oil treatment. Make sure you use a conditioner for very dry hair everytime you wash your hair. Also use a shampoo for dry damaged hair.

You need to go to the beauty saloon and have a hot oil treatment, then they will also advise you on some great products that will help restore your hair to what it was before you went hair washing happy.IF you can't afford that you can go to the store and get a hot oil treatment that you can do at home. I would do several of them one a day for a few days and then get good hair care products to restore your hair Good luck!

try using mostuirizing shampoo, or a shampoo plus conditioner as your shampoo. Then use a mosturizing conditioner and a deep conditioner. and wash your hair less, at most once a day.

try washing with just conditione for a while and then try garnier shampoo. You can also soak your hair for a few hours in vegitable oil and wash it out.

ok this is what i suggest. Go to like CVS or any good drug store. Go to the hairproducts section (duh lol ) anyways go to garnier fructis ( or you can go to another brand, they all pretty much work) and get deap conditioner cream or damage shampoo and conditioner. They work sooo well. I always straighten by hair and its all gross, i use that stuff and it makes it silky and smooth and easier to straighten. GOOD LUCK

Stop shampooing as often-once a day is more than enough. Then condition, condition......
