QuoteReplyTopic: frizzy dry chemically treated hair Please help Posted: March 27 2000 at 5:26pm
I have streaked hair and am having severe problems with frizziness and severe dryness which is causing my hair to fall out. Is there anyone out there that can give me feedback on a natural home remedy for my problem.
First of all, stop streaking your hair, that will dry it out more than anything. Then, condition your hair thoroughly with a good conditioner like pantene pro-v. But a good at home remedy would be to heat up some olive oil and leave on the head for a while then shampoo out.
How does olive work help!? I know its really oily but will it causes more damages or making the hair more fragile to breaking etc? I also have dry hair and want to know more before trying it...
what other good reasonable price conditioners/shampoos that i can buy to fix damage or dry hair? Does those oil-treatment packages help at all?
Olive oil won`t harm your hair--neither will any other kind (motor and hinge oil aside.) It simply coats the hair shaft, making it feel temporarily smoother and shinier. The effect lasts only until your next shampoo. For breakage-prone hair, you`re better off going with a protein treatment. The best on the market in terms of potency is Aphogee Damaged Hair treatment. I`ve found it at Sally Beauty and it`s not too expensive....maybe $6 for about 4 ounces. It contains hydrolyzed animal protein as its second ingredient--which is good because plant-based protein doesn`t adhere to the cuticle as well (not so good if you`re vegan.) Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you this is an excellent product for controlling breakage. Nothing can cure fried hair--hair is dead and cannot repair itself without cellular turnover--but this can certainly help.
Also, you might have more luck posting your future questions on the General Hair Talk board. Hope this helps!
