use camellia oil
Don't hold me responsible but I have used MAYO as a heated treatment by heating small amt comb through warm wet hair wrap in plastic overnight. Rinse with warm water then wash and rinse use a conditioner of your choice if you need to. It worked for me and my sister but like I said your on your own....GOOD LUCK,,,,HOPE IT WORKS IF YOU DECIDE TO TRY IT...........
A sharp razor will work.
Redken All Soft works awesome.It makes your hair so smooth and silky. My hair was bleached blonde so many times, so it was super-fried and coarse. I used the Redken and you'd never know my hair was damaged before.
Try using Pantene Pro V. I have colored my hair A LOT, and that shampoo and conditioner works wonders on my hair.
I know how you feel. I've been coloring my hair for ten years! But to keep my hair from drying out more, I wash it only two or three times a week. Washing hair too often gets rids of the good oils. I also always use conditioner. I also don't wash out all the conditioner (I know doing that helps thick, wavy hair but oddly enough no other hair type). And of course it's good to trim your split ends. I know it's a pain, if you want to grow it long. But not trimming will only result in inches of totally damaged hair and then you'll have to get it cut. I learned that, the hard way ;_;
I dye my hair every 10 to 12 weeks, but I'm able to keep my hair in good enough condition. If you're thinking about quitting (hair dyeing), then that's great for you. Your hair will eventually be healthy like it was before. I'm afraid I won't be able to do that. Check that! I've tried to stop three times in the past two years...and failed.
Walgreen's has a product by Charles Worthington, I just happened to try it one day...And what a difference it made, now I buy it all the time. It's a glossing conditioner and shampoo, your hair will feel wonderful and you don't have to spend a fortune.
If you have a local herb store that sells in bulk, I reccomend the herb COMFREY. It should be very cheap because the plant is really a thriver. What keeps it so healthy and safe from enviromental wear is a substance : ALANTOIN, found in many shampoos. Also a hot oil treatment w/ olive oil should help, but if you can afford it jojoba oil is very much more suited for the needs of hair-- found at the health food mart. Leave it on longer than the average bear. Pronounced HOHOBA.
Get a VO5 hot oil treatment and see if that helps. It should do something for you anyway. After you do that, when you wash your hair, try to rinse it with cool water instead of hot water. The cool water helps to eliminate the hair getting too dry. Get a good conditioner and be sure to use it daily if you wash your hair that often. I know some say not to wash every day to eliminate dry hair, but I have oily hair and I have to...
good luck :)
