Conditioner or treatment to beat dry hair (UK)

Thanks for all the advice here; either the Aussie stuff requires half an hour's rinsing out, or the silicones aren't for me. Leaves my hair plasticky feeling.

Pantene, the masking stuff and spray-in, I will try them out very soon. Sounds a better bet IF there's no silicones in them.

Last time I went to a fancy salon, rather than a normal one, back in August, I did get pressurised into buying their special shampoo and condition, 40 and 50 pounds each, might be really good but the expense, unjustifiable for the time being.

I don't know these salon items very well. I would be too afraid to lay down that kind of money not knowing the product. Are salon products that better or just priced and limited to make us think they are? There are only so many ingredients you can add to hair products. Are their ingredients that different?

I've never heard of Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure. When I did a search, I could not see it available in the USA so that may explain why. Where do you buy it?

You may not like the Aussie brand because it has silicones. Some people can't handle the silicone, but my hair type loves it. Couldn't live without it!!

VeryBored,
Have you ever tried oiling your hair? Depending on your hair type, you can use such oils as jojoba, sweet almond, coconut, or even olive oil (if your hair is really heavy). If you wash it every night, you could oil it at bedtime, and it would condition over night to be ready for the wash the next day.

On the other suggestion, I love the Aussie products myself especially the leave-in conditioner, but I have thick hair myself.

Good Luck!!!

I have tried this, and unlike a 'normal' conditioner it makes my hair feel heavier, almost plasticky. Could I be doing something wrong?

Oh, I think my current budget can stretch to 4 Pounds. ;) It'll be well worth the small expense just to try it, even if the results aren't brilliant.

Oh and breakage, too much of that. That's the word I was looking for!
