What can I do to make my hair not so dry?

My hair is soo dry and I use lots of conditioner and I've tried special conditioners as well..but nothing seems to work. What can I do?

Yes, indeed, coconut oil is good for your hair and scalp. You can use it as a pre-wash conditioner or leave-in moisturiser. If you use it before shampooing, apply it (room temperature or warm) about 30 mins before washing. For deep conditioning, you can leave it overnight. Use youe fingers to massage the oil into your scalp and hair length. Another deep conditioning method: hot oil bath - wrap a warm towel on your oil-impregnated hair, repeat a couple times prior to shampooing. If you use coconut oil as a leave-in moisturiser, be sure to use very little, and apply to the length only. Or your hair will be greasy. Use even less if you use hot hair styling tools as oil is flammable. If you feel that your hair is too dry after styling, then you can use some extra drops for shine and a silky touch. Alternatively, you can use olive oil for comparable results. I do believe that oils are better moisturisers than many regular polymer-based leave-in conditioners because polymers are plastics that, when subjected to hot styling tools, melt onto the hair and cause damage.



FYI, oils are moisturising aids. If your hair is chemically treated, you still need to use a good shampoo and conditioner to nourish the hair. The oil is just a supplement to keep moisture in. Most Indians pull it off with just a little bit of coconut oil because chemical treatments (colouring and/or relaxing/texturising/perming) are not very popular practises; so their hair is naturally healthy.

Use a deep conditioner once a week and a light leave-in conditioner (Aussie Dual Personality is great) after shampooing and conditioning in the shower. Also, hot oil treatments are great for revitalizing your hair and making it silky soft. Clairol puts them out and you can get them at Wal Mart.

Regular professional help in the initial stage until it stabilizes should work.



Regular application of Leave-in Conditioners sometimes works too. Use a conditioner manufactured by professional hair brands, like Kerastase, Redken %26amp; etc.



Alternatively, there is this homeopathic treatment which worked for my dry-hair problems:



Hair Egg Conditioner Recipe



1 teaspoon baby oil



1 egg yolk



1 cup water



Beat the egg yolk until its frothy, add the oil then beat again. Add to the water. Massage into the scalp and throughout your hair. Rinse well.



Most especially, go easy on the blow-drying, perming %26amp; colouring! :O)

Most conditioners only contain fabric softener to soften your hair but don't do much to moisturize it. So most people have soft hair that is in bad condition. Look for natural oils such as jojoba oil or wheat germ oil reasonably high in the ingredient list in the conditioner. also look for protein too. Aubrey organics GPB conditioner is great. So is Neutrogena's . The #1 selling conditioner in the US is mostly fabric softener and has nothing to help your hair whatsoever. Incidentally silicone does nothing for the condition of you hair either (Dimethicone or anything ending in -one) it only keeps humidity out to keep your hair from frizzing and adds shine artificially. You could also try ABBA. Also if you use shampoo with sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate you are stripping your hair. Look for shampoos with gentler cleansers such as ammonium lauryl/laureth sulfate or cocamide DEA. There are lots on the market but you have to search them out. Herbal essences Hello Hydration is one. After this you just have to figure out what works best for your hair and switch up occasionally. And don't wash your hair too much. I wash mine like 1 to2x a week and I have amazing hair.

first off if you wash your hair every day you are destroying it. If hair is naturally dry, hairstylists recommend you wash your hair ever other to every three days.



leave in conditioners are pretty good, but my favorite is pantene for dry damaged hair.



my hair is very curly and it will look dry unless i straighten it out. If you dry it with a ceramic brush and a hair dryer it works really well-it takes a little practice but try it out once you get the hang or it it will work (i can make my hair look straighter than a stylist can) good luck
