Conditioner has stopped working :(

Ive been using Joico k-pak shampoo and conditioner for about 6 weeks now, in the beginning the products worked really well and my hair was really soft and silky.
But now its getting really frizzy at the ends :( do you think my hair has built up a tolerance to the k-pak formula? Should i try another shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks then go back to the kpak?
My hair wasnt overly damaged to begin with, but i am getting it bleached so want it in the best condition possible before i go ahead with the bleaching process.
Any advice would be appreciated!

I agree with that, but with such heavy cones, you may need a clarifying shampoo to get all the buildup off.   

In the past I was under the impression that vinegar does more than it does for clarifying with the cones too, you aren't the only one!  So much to learn about hair  Thanks for the compliment!

 

6 weeks and heavy cones? And I've been using Pantene products for Years! That too without clarifying!!! Looks like Vinegar rise will be no better for me. Must use a claryfying shampoo. The large 400ml bottles are always available. but I need the small ones, i.e journey size. Hve no idea where I can find them..

I've heard tht too much build up of cones makes hair feel lke straw, then why would removing them or clarifying make my hair feel like straw? And why use Pantene conditioner after clarifying just to replace the cones back? (though I know my hair'd be horrible without) Anyway I never have had split ends. The only probem is the increasing coarseness. Can't find out the cause, and I'm really getting frustated with it. It's causin so much tanglings!! I don't even have the sleek look Because of the frizzyness it's causing. Though AnaisSatin says my frizzes may be from sundamage & Uv rays, I'm not sure abt it. I'm in dire need of help. I had so much healthy-straight, smooth & silky hair; where did it all go??! (btw, I can't say my hair's rough, it's just coarse & frizzy...)

Carie, I think I can help clear up some of the confusion. The cones make a coat around the hair, which makes it feel good, so it feels great when you start using them.  After awhile, like many months or years, that coat starts to chip and break off.  When it breaks off, it takes pieces of your hair with it, which is why you have the splits and the dryness, and your hair starts to feel like straw. 

Clarifying will remove ALL the cone coat from each hair, so you find your hair feels even more like straw - partly because undamaged hair would feel a little strawlike after clarifying anyway (because the moisture is gone, but undamaged hair recovers as soon as you put conditioner and oil back on it).  Clarifying hair that has cone damage will show all its breaks and splits that were hidden under the cone coat before, so it will be even more strawlike than undamaged hair right after clarifying, before you put conditioner on it.

Why use pantene again?   Because cones aren't evil, they give the hair lots of "slip" and smoothness when they are fresh, helping with detangling, and in that way, preventing some damage.  I use it too for that reason.  Putting a fresh cone coat on your hair after clarifying will help greatly in fixing the strawlike feeling.  As long as you clarify once in awhile (at least once a month, though I try to do it every 2 weeks), you will never get your cone coat chipping and breaking your hair off, and your hair should never get so much buildup on it that it looks dull.  You will always have a relatively fresh coat that remains flexible for awhile, so you will never get cone damage.
