my hair is getting realy weak. every time i wash it theres about 10 strands of hair that falls off each time when i brush it. i'm not sure why cause i drink alot of fluids and i eat healthy also. also it just goes flat. right now, i'm using neutrogena shampoo. its a lil longer then my shoulders, straight, thin and dark brown. i'm looking for a realy good shampoo thats not very expensive, no animal testing, that will make it grow faster and stronger. please, if u can help, reply.
thank you!

Hello!
First of all, it's okay to lose up to 100 strands of hair a day, so don't get too worried. For stronger hair that breaks less, you can also try working warmed olive oil through your hair, and leaving it on for 15 min to overnight. That really worked to strenghten my hair (I had dyed it with something too strong, I guess) I guess this is all my advice!
Best wishes,
Catriona

Hello again!
No, there's no limit to the olive oil. I try putting it in once a week, but when I was going through the major hair loss stage, I used it every other day. OH - I don't know if you can get it, but there's also a shampoo I used by Kadus called "Avoidable hair loss" (got it at a salon here in Canada). That, together w/ the olive oil, helped get my hair normal again =)
Best wishes,
Catriona

Hi Claire,
All I can really suggest is that you try working the olive oil through your hair also. My hair breaks a lot less when I use it. Since it seems to be breaking so much, I think you should talk to you stylist and see what advice he/she has.
Best wishes!

I've read quite a few rave reviews for Redken Anti-Snap...it's a leave-in conditioner that's supposed to strengthen hair and lessen breakage.
