Old Style Hair Repair

Options
I've bleached my hair and now it feels (and looks :p ) like straw. Can anyone recommend any old style hair repair to help it get better, i've been conditioning it a few times a day to help it along but there must be something else out there :)

    You can put ketchup on your bleach blonde hair if it goes green or brassy! :D

    Boots do a value conditioner which is 34p. I swear this is the best conditioner I have ever used. My hair has never been in such a good condition. However, don't try the value shampoo as this made my scalp really dry and itchy.

    Olive all massaged into the hair. Cover with cling film and wrap in a towel to heat up. Leave for about 20 minutes. Add shampoo directly onto the hair no water. then rince with water and wash as normal.

    not exactly old fashioned but I too have/had straw like hair until I found frizeez hair serum after you have done the usual shampoo and condition wring you hair (do not towel dry) and add the serum to the bits you know to be like straw and leave to dry naturally works wonders and I am now thankfully frizz free it took me a good few years of trying all sorts until I hit onthis, its pricey at £6 quid ish for a tiny bottle but worth it!

    It only makes it feel nice because it leaves a film of product on your hair, such as prodiucts like pantene or such. All they do is leave a film on your hair shaft that makes it feel smoother.

    NB: if you do use a product like pantene, I recomend that you do a clarifying shampoo once a month followed by an intence conditioner.

    Great HM treatments cen be beer, egg or fabric softener (I swear by this) also for extra shine and to prevent your hair going greasy, after rincing conditioner out, give your hair a sharp blast of cold water, it shocks all the pores in your scalp to close and prevents it releasing excess sebrum.
