is this damaged hair?

shampoo is for scalp cleansing really but for regular use keep conditioner on hair for a minute or two then rinse. for intense treatment you a gollop of it on your hair then wear a shower cap and leave on for an hour or longer.

its kinda hard to tell damaged hair from just a hand drawn image from a paint program

so far this is what i now, what damaged hair means and condition that causes damaged hair

1.  hair  breaks easily
2. for straight hair there is no shine, for curly or wavy there is no sheen
3. hair is easily tangled when combing or styling with finger
4. for those with natural black hair, the hair becomes brownish when damaged
5. you have been dyeing your hair more than once in 2 weeks
6. you relaxed the hair
7. you use blow dryer every single day at high setting
8. hair becomes frizzy
9. it looks more like dried hay that hair
10. you swim in chlorinated water a lot and you stay in the sun a lot
11. you bleached your hair twice

these are just some of conditions of damaged hair or what damaged hair feels like. if its just dry and frizzy, a good cream bath, hot oil treatment or protein treatment at the salon is good enough to treat it.

if the hair is fried as in if breaks easily by just tugging it or it feels mushy when wet like spagetti then you have to cut it all off. why because i have had this predicament. my hair was totally fried when i dyed it 3 times, bleached it once and relaxed it 3 times.

 

 

Well, if that is all you use, then at least we know is not chemicall damage. The damage might be coused by other things. May be the come or brush you use. You can try using a smoothing shampoo and conditioner. I use Redken smooth down shampoo and Redken butter treat conditioner. You might also want to use some kind of serum to tame those flyaways. Paul Mitchell super skinny serum works pretty well. Or you might want to try a different gel. Suave makes a great gel. I don't remember exactly the name, but I know it comes in different scents like apple etc. Now mind you I do not use Suave or any other drug store brands. But this thing is great. I was stuck away from home without my hair stuff, and had to use whatever my sister had. She had a bottle of that gel. Not only did it control my flyaways, but it did not flake at all, and my hair would be soft when I would brush the gel out. And I kept using it for like four days straight without washing my hair. Give it a try. Maybe it will work for you.

The bends in the hair look like chemical damage. Have you used any chemicals in your hair?
