strengthening weak hair

Hair must be maintained with moisture, protein and oil. This combination of conditioners ensures proper strength, elasticity and sheen. In some cases of breakage it is necessary to correct the problem with:
1. A protein conditioner, which will strengthen weak hair. 2. If the problem is caused by dry brittle hair, it is necessary to replenish the hair with extreme moisture and seal it with a hot oil treatment. If you treat dry hair with protein, it could actually cause more severe breakage since protein is designed to tighten the hair strand. Dry hair already lacks elasticity and does not need to be tightened more. Moisture on the other hand is designed to add elasticity to the hair strand, so it will stretch and return to its natural position when it is combed or brushed. Oil coats and seals adding a high gloss to hair. It is generally not recommended to apply protein but once within a six-week period. There are a number of products on the market that help strengthen the hair (including vitamins). What products are you using now? A good home remedy to add shine and strengthen your hair is honey and olive oil - ½ cup honey + ¼ cup olive oil. Work into the hair with your fingertips. Cover with a shower cap and leave on for 30 minutes. Remove the cap and shampoo and rinse (may take more than one shampoo). Good luck!!

I like Redken Anti Snap very much and highly recommend it for people with dry or damaged hair. I have a client that had straightened her hair and the result was very dry hair that tangled easily. After two weeks of using Anti Snap after every shampoo, the results were amazing. A little goes a long way (just a spray or two) so regular use should not be a problem for you. Some products I have used in the past make the hair look like it hasn`t been washed in two weeks. This is an excellent product that does what it says it will do.
