QuoteReplyTopic: Brittle breaking hair.... Posted: September 28 2007 at 5:21pm
I went to my dermotologist today and was told I have 'brittle' hair and need to use gentle salon products for my hair........which I need advise on.
Background.......I have naturally curly friz prone caucasian hair which I often pull back wet into a pony tail (which can be my problem). (Hair type 2C) I have been losing LOTS of hair due to breakage. I only color my hair maybe twice/three times a year. For the past few weeks I have been using Redken Extreme Anti Snap shampoo & condition plus the leave in conditioner. I have also used twice in the last month the Redken Fuel Protein treatments and I really haven't seen much help as of yet.
I am wondering if I am using the right products and would love some suggestions ~ Thanks ~ Steph

Well if I were you I would stop coloring my hair. You also want to make sure that you are using products without mineral oil and/or petrolatum. Mineral oil has another name too. I forgot though. You can find it out if you google it. These dry your hair out. Don't use heat or chemicals on your hair. Now deep treatment once a week. I sometimes use mayo and olive oil. It sounds gross and smells weird, but works wonders. I would also not wash your hair more then once a week. If you need to wash use conditioner only. Shampoo has a sulfate and it dries your hair also. Let me know if this helps.
