I've used a lot of different brands that hasn't been working and I really need to find one that finally works. I've used: pantene, herbal essences, joico, garnier, loreal. Thats all i can remember. My hair is frizzy and coarse, with horrible split ends.:(
ReplyDeleteUse the Joico reconstructor, it works amazingly! There is also a 5 step Joico system that works really good including the reconstructor

ReplyDeleteyah i like it very much infact love it too lolz
ReplyDeleteIf you put shampoo on dry hair, then wash it out your hair turns really silky..
ReplyDeleteTake few curry leaves and boil them with coconut oil for at least 2-3 minutes. You can keep this mixture for some days in a cool place. Apply it with the finger tips gently on your scalp and cover the hair with a warm towel. This will nourish the hair follicles, remove dryness and also make them strong.
ReplyDeleteSteps
ReplyDelete1)Add natural oils like avocado, coconut, jojoba or olive oil to your hair. This can be a great conditioning regime to do prior to shampooing the hair.
2)Place any of the above mentioned oils into the hair and place the hair in a bun for about 20 minutes. You can even wrap your hair under a plastic cap covered by a heat cap for added conditioning. You'll find that your hair will be more revived and manageable.
3)You can also use other natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar to get rid of dandruff and dry scalp.
Always visit a dermatologist or your doctor if you are experiencing scalp problems.
Make sure to wash the oil out of your hair throughly. Leaving it in can cause it to smell. Plus, it makes your hair look greasy
If you add a combination of six drops of lavender, bay and sandalwood essential oils with six ounces of warm sesame or soy oils then apply the oil to the hair, wrap in towel for 15 minutes, then rinse; this will help in treating dry hair
ReplyDeleteDiet can play a part in the dryness of one's hair. Eat lots of food high in omega -3 fatty acids, such as fish. It is recommended that you eat salmon or some other cold water fish at least twice per week. Add flaxseed oil to your diet; approximately two tablespoons a day added to popcorn or potatoes can replenish lost hair and skin oils. Flaxseed has a buttery, nutty like flavor, try it, it's not that bad.
ReplyDeleteTo ensure a natural shine to dry hair, use a gallon (liter) of hot tea without sugar (fresh or instant) as the last washing after washing as usual.
ReplyDeleteOur hair normally contains a moisture content of approximately 10%, which when drops below this level needs to be retained. As the hair grows past the neck line or doesn't have a direct contact with the scalp, the essential natural oils present in the scalp are not utilized throughout the hair shaft. Therefore, to increase the hair's ability to attract and retain moisture in the cortex of the hair, one can use moisturizers rich in essential fatty acids (EFA). Safflower oil is one of the best and cost effective oil for dry hair containing essential fatty acids. Following are few steps that will help you to replace the lost EFA and moisture from the scalp: Put 1 or 2 drops of safflower oil in your palms and rub them together. Take your hair and apply the oil at the ends first, and then work towards the scalp. Leave this in your hair for an hour or so and then rinse. By regularly applying safflower oil in your hair, you will retain the moisture and have healthy, shiny hair.
ReplyDeleteRub in four or five teaspoons of mayonnaise into your scalp and leave it on for half an hour before shampooing. Remember, mayo contains oil, egg and mustard powder, just the right recipe for imparting wholesome moisture to dead looking hair. As an after shampoo, rinse with about half a teaspoon of honey in about a liter (4 mugs) of water. Don’t wash away this last rinse, and it acts as an excellent conditioner for dry, dull hair.

ReplyDeleteWarm oil treatments can make dry hair soft, sleek and supple. Apply the warm oil of your choice to your hair after shampooing, wrap it in a towel, and allow to stand for about twenty minutes. Then rinse the oil out, with a little shampoo, and enjoy healthier, happier hair.
ReplyDeleteTake two eggs and mix it with olive oil nicely. Massage your scalp with the paste and keep it for about an hour. This will not only straighten your hair but also soften and condition it.
