Dry Brittle Hair Help
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! Use alcohol free hair gels You can also get moisture in your hair by using a cool air humidifier 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 Finishing Creme 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 to use at home if you don't want to spend a lot of money! One product that's down right cheap to buy is hask placenta. This is the absolute best product to use for dry brittle hair, if you can get past the part where it's actually made from a sheep's placenta. You can't tell it though and the product smells nice really. I especially like Henna N Placenta With Olive Oil Treatment Another inexpensive way to add moisture to your hair is to apply a little bit of body lotion to it. Remember to run your fingers through your hair as the day wears on too. Oils build up on your hands during the day, and you can easily transfer those to your hair. Some 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 that's as bad as looking overly dry. Also I would suggest using organic hair products 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. Or you can trim your own hair quickly and easily if you're good at measuring stuff. (What woman's not!) Have you ever had a bad salon experience? (Post your own or read others' contributions...)
