Very dry hair :-( Can you recommend any products?

Starlet

Can anyone recommend any good products they've used which has helped to re-moisturise their hair?

Up until now, I've always used natural things. (I've tried putting coconut oil on my hair but didnt really notice a difference, and have also tried olive oil. A very long time ago, I used to put egg yolk onto my hair but always remember how messy things got so I havent done that.)

Has anyone used anything shop-bought which has improved their hair?
Shampoo / Conditioner / Leave-in masks

I need to find a quick solution because I really dont want to trim any more of my hair. I've already chopped 1.5 inches about a month ago and was hoping to let my hair grow long

Thank you for reading this post

I have been using the Argan Oil hydrating hair mask and their shampoo, it's for dry and damaged hair. It's in a brown and green tub and only 99p. I got mine from Yorkshire Trading Co or Boyes but a lot of pound like shops sell it.

I use mashooq hair oil http://www.mashooqhair.com/ and sometimes use it before shampooing and also use it on the lengths of my hair after conditioning.


One of the hair dye makers encloses a conditioner sachet in the with the dye and it is very intensive. They have brought it out now separately to the dye and it is a very heavy conditioner that might help. Think it might be Clairol but not sure.

i've got coloured, thick, long hair that's prone to frizz. best shampoo & conditioner i've found is kirkland moisture, cheapest direct from costco (that price inc delivery). in store, 1L for about £7 & £9 each i think, lasts ages as it's really concentrated.

i also use macadamia oil spray, which i found easier to use than any other type. also use dove leave-in conditioner treatment spray which is very good, use that when it's still damp, but not wet.

I've found this Dove conditioner very good - they do a mask but this left on for up to an hour does the job just as well.

(2 for £4 at Asda yesterday)

I also use Vitapointe on dry hair to smooth it a bit - I remember my Mum using it years ago - and a tiny amount goes a long way

I want some tips too. A day after I've washed my hair the ends look really dry and the roots really greasy i hate it!!

White vinegar. Free of silicone, seals hair cuticle.

If money is no object, both Kerastase and Phillip Kingsley make really good masques, the Kerastase Masquintense is a great one to use once a week, and the Elasticizer by Phillip Kinglsey you can get away with using once a fortnight.


With either masque, dampen your hair slightly and apply the masque, leave for 20 minutes plus (an hour gives really nice results) and rinse. I noticed the biggest differences after using a masque twice -not one use after the other on the same day but 2 or so weeks of using the masque once per week. They seem to have a cumulative effect.


Also be aware that you only need a small amount and evenly distributed over your hair, a hair comb or wide-tooth comb works well.


These masques are really expensive though so unless you're able to afford them (not me anyway!) if anyone asks what you'd like as a birthday/Christmas/leaving gift you could do worse than suggest one of these.

Depends on HOW dry your hair is.
Aussie 3 min miracle is good.
However if it is REALLY REALLY dry (as mine is at the moment) you need a much more specialised product.
my hairdresser recommended L'oreal cream bath (not a product her manager sells in the store so not recommended for commission or anything like that). you have to buy online as I haven't been able to find anyone in UK that stocks it.
It's not cheap but is really really good.

Fudge dynamite. Expensive but is great stuff.

Mines very dry at the moment from over colouring (highligh job that went orange and cue 8 boxes of bleach and dye later and its frazzled).
I've just been and bought some Dove stuff, mainly because its all 1/2 prie at Tescoat the moment but I got the Oil Smoothing shampoo, the intense moisture deep conditioner and the split end serum.

I will update tomorrow morning what they do to my hair.
