I have horribly dry hair - sulfate free shampoo is my new best friend! I use Giovanni (get it at Target) but L'Oreal just came out with a suflate free shampoo too. Give that a try? I use that and lots of leave in conditioner, and hardly ever blow dry my hair. It's definitely better than it used to be!
Anything else I can use other than sulfate free shampoo? I purchased Sulfate free from the salon... didnt see a dramatic difference but will continue to use it anyway!
Thanks!
This might sound a bit ridiculous but after I put hand lotion on i wipe the rest on my hair. I've told a few people about it and have only heard positives.
Though if you do it too much you can look like a greasy mess.
@troubled: i do the same thing! :) it calms down my frizzy ends a lot.
i also use neutrogena triple moisture deep conditioner TWICE a week (it says once, i use it twice), and the triple moisture silk touch leave in cream every day. these are the ONLY products that have helped my hair, and i've tried the super expensive products too.
Dont wash your hair everyday & only shampoo the top.
I agree with the lotion comment too!
Haha I am INSANE about my hair!!
I only wash it every 3 days or so.
I use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner (L'Oreal)
I wash my hair first thing in the shower, then I leave the conditioner in while I wash my body, face, shave etc.
I use leave in conditioner, but only on my ends (Garnier Fructise with UV filters)
I take Biotin (5,000mcg pills, not the 1,000) AND a daily muli-v
Watch what you eat and drink TONS of water
If you absolutely CANNOT seems tofix it, I've heard that the Damage Remedy Treatment at an Aveda Salon really does the trick.
I've coated my ends in olive oil, wrapped in plastic, left to soak for half an hour, then rinsed out (very well)--like a deep moisturizing session! I'm also one of those people who thinks lemon really works to lighten hair if you let it sit out on a sunny day, though, so I am a little crazy on the home-remedy front. I get it from my mother.
I have heard that if you wash your hair too often, it washes away your natural oils. I wash my hair every other day and don't have an issue.
Leave in hair conditioner! I use it every day and I wouldn't have the length I have without it! Also a light trim every 6 weeks, ends always dry out first.
Yea I reduced from washing daily (seemed to always get greasy) to now every other day or every 2 days depending on activities.
I can up my Biotin as well... hmm I may have to try the olive oil.. Seems funny to do but hey at this point i am desperate!!!!
My hair salon lady told me to use dish soap to strip out any residue. Dry it, then soak in olive oil for an hour. I loooooove it!
I'm sad I can't use phosphate-free shampoo. I have dandruff, so I have to use head and shoulders. My hair is always dry and frizzy. :-(
When my dry hair starts to get "crunchy" I use biosilk. They sell it in salons, but you can also get it at discount places like Nordstrom Rack or Filene's Basement.
I have long, dry, wavy hair that tends to frizz. Because of my life style( I'm a chef,a nd I work out everyday) I have to wash it daily. I had tried EVERYTHING -expensive salon shampoos, drugstore products, hair masques. Last month I tried a new shampoo and conditioner- Herbal Essences None of your Frizziness. My hair has been great ever since- smooth, soft, and shiny. I have no idea why it works, but it is super cheap so I'm not questioning it!
Really? Herbal Essence? After all the money spent that could be the key? LOL I go to the gym daily, Florida sun kills my hair... I think I may try it!
Make sure you get regular trims - this will get rid of the dry, broken ends, which make your hair look & feel super dry.
second, i swear by kerastase. the stuff ain't cheap, but it has done miracles for my dry, frizzy hair, especially in the wintertime when the air is super dry. i would suggest the bain satin for you, unless you have super thick, coarse hair, then which i would suggest the oleo relax.
here is a link to kerastase website -- you can browse the products based on your hair/problem types. good luck!
Jizes318-make sure to get the no frizziness one in the red bottle. The other ones don't really help.
Hope it works for you too!
Thanks guys so so much! I am attempting to try some of these.... I need all the help I can get!
I have extreme curls! They get dry really fast. A trick I use, I never wash all the conditioner out of my hair. I rinse it out but leave it feeling slippery. I also don't wash more than once a week. I do condition every other day or so.
Best advice ever given to me, do not buy any hair product with alcohol listed as one of the first 5 ingrediants. It's actually really hard to do! But what a change. Alcohol over time dries out your hair like crazy. Stay away!
Oh and I should note, some (but very few) products use high quality alcohol which isn't as bad but expect to pay a pretty penny for it!
If you spend a lot of time in the sun or the water, be sure to wet your hair and do a leave-in conditioner to protect from breakage. Coloring your hair will also damage it if you aren't careful, as will excessive heat styling (blow dryer, curler, etc.)
If what you're talking about is breakage rather than general frizziness the only way to fix the problem is to lop it off.
I had this problem until I started using Aveda products. I also only wash my hair every other day, although that barely helped while I was using Redken/drugstore brands.
@serasvictoria: I'm a hair stylist and you should only have to use head and shoulders once a week after it under control. You can switch off with a phosphate free or preferred shampoo in between. : )
I've revived my hair from a long dry mop to beautifully shiny by sticking to this routine:
I was only every 3 days at the most.
Instead of a normal conditioner I use a deep conditioning treatment every time i shampoo, (i recommend the Soy Milk deep conditioning treatment from sexy hair concepts - Healthy Sexy Hair line).
I use Moroccan oil on damp hair before i blow dry and a bit once it's dry.
I also put in a hair sunscreen when I'm out in the sun, (I use the one from RedKen).
@serasvictoria: I do the same too. Its the only way to remove the residue. I got the advice from my grandma. Its odd but it does the job.
