QuoteReplyTopic: Hair Feels Hard Posted: September 05 2006 at 1:40pm
Sometimes after i wash my hair and let it air dry it feels hard and even when i flat iron it feels hard...what should i do should i wait a few days then co wash or can i co wash today even though ive already flat ironed it...i dont want any damamg or hair breakage its just right now my hair feels so dry and brittle i cant do a thing with it.
well what have you been doing to your hair lately? how often have you been flat ironing it? Do you moisterize or put oild on it? Have you been trying anything different wit your hair?
I'm asking so many questions because we can't really help you and give you advice without some more information.

The only thing that i have been doing different is ive been using a new leave in conditioner....i think thats the culprit its that detangler stuff for kids(always shopping for a bargin it was on sale) i think thats what it is because i did a cowash and i didnt use it this time and my hair was soft so i think i answere my own question lol
okay thats great that the problem is fixed! just a side note if you are low/ no cone you will have to clarify your hair because detanglers are filled with cones.

A 'cone is a type of silicone. They are known to coat the hair making it appear shiny and healthy but sometimes they mask damage and lock out moistiure in some cases. Most cones cannot be gotten out with conditioner (if you CO) and most times need a claifying something to get them out.
I can't find the article I was looking for but when i find it i will Pm you the link or post it here.

before you do anything, you need to clarify your hair. like the other PPs have said, the leave in has probably coated your hair. after clarifying, do a deep conditioing to restore moisture back into your hair
Twinklet, I was just saying you should clarify even if you don't avoid 'cones. And I'm on a no cone retunine and im doing just fine but its all a matter of personal opinion.

Do you have something like clarifying shampoo because I have so many hair products for this and that, I spend alto of money in the BSS.
Is Neutralizing something like it because I stretch my relaxers and I have a big bottle just for one thing.
no, a neutralizing shampoo is not the same thing as a carifying shampoo. A good cheapie clarifing shampoo is Suave daily clarifying 99cents). Make sure you follow with a moisturising shampoo and conditioner after.
