Help for Dry Brittle Hair

Q) I have dry brittle hair. No matter what I do, its always dry.

I wash my hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and then I get out and towel dry.

I comb my hair with a wide toothed comb and then I put leave in conditioner and hair gel and then I let it air dry. After awhile my hair then gets really dry. I have longer hair, so its somewhat hard to handle.

Professional Hair Care Answer - First change gels.

Sounds like your gel is drying your hair and giving you dry brittle hair. Many gels contain alcohol so use with care! Especially if your hair is already dry!

You can also get moisture in your hair by using a humidifier at home when you're there. They’re great for moisturizing hair and skin. A good moisturizing leave in conditioner helps dry hair too.

Mayonnaise is also a good moisturizer. Just apply some to your hair, leave overnight or as long as you can, then shampoo and condition as normal. I really like John Frieda Frizz Easeicon products too. Anti frizz products help restore moisture and cut down on brittleness.

Deep conditioners also work well. You've got to pay a little more to get intensive ones but they're worth every cent if they improve your brittle hair. You can find some good hair remedies at home if you know which ingredients to use.

Another inexpensive way to get moisture is to apply a little bit of body lotion to it. Hair serums work well too as they help lay down the hair cuticle. Just don't over apply. Using too much serum can make your hair look oily and thats as bad as looking overly dry.

Also I would suggest using Wen Hair Products. Many regular conditioning shampoos and conditioners contain harsh ingredients that can strip your hair over time.

Spritzing your hair with water throughout the day is a good way to improve moisture in your hair and in the air around you. You may also want to think about taking hair vitamins. Vitamins really improve your hair before it ever grows out.

If you are using any chemicals in your hair, stop using them until your hair texture improves. Too many chemicals can dry out your hair by raising the hair cuticle and making it weak and susceptible to breakage. When your cuticle is raised, dryness can set in. The only way to get the cuticle to lay down is to deep condition your hair or cut it off and start over.

I would also suggest that you get a trim from any professional hair care technician who listens and will only cut a little bit. Just make sure they don't get carried away and cut off what you've just grown out!
