Does anyone have any suggestions for dry and brittle hair?

Question

I highlight my hair (but with a non-bleach product) and I'm looking for something that I can do to help get the hair healthy. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I would suggest a product by "Nexxus" called "Kerphix". If your hair is long use about a tablespoon if short use about a teaspoon of the product. Distribute the product evenly throughout your hair. Place a plastic bag over your hair. Heat a dampened old towel with water and heat in the microwave and turban the towel around your head. Rinse with cool water. Repeat weekly.
Do not condition your hair more than once a week if you do you run the risk of turning your hair to mush.
I've been a licensed cosmetologist for thirty years.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Use a moisturizing conditioner, or one specially formulated for dry, damaged or colored hair. Condition after every time your shampoo your hair, and leave the conditioner on the whole time you're in the shower. Wash it out at the last minute before you get out.
You can also get hair masks which are good for putting moisture back into your hair. If you can't afford those, soak your hair in olive oil (make sure it's the pure stuff), wrap saran wrap around your head and leave it there for a couple hours before washing it out. This might leave your hair looking a tiny bit oily for a day or two, but it really works to strengthen your hair.
Hope one of these works for you, they work for me but everyone's hair is different :)

Answer 3

You need to make sure you use a good conditioner every day. One from a salon that adds moisture ( the conditioners they sell in stores just don't work as well ). Sometimes it worth it to pay a liitle more, especially for your hair :-)
