HELP - I JUST GOT BACK FROM VACATION AND MY CURLY HAIR IS A MESS. IT'S DRY AND BRITTLE. AFTER FIVE SHOWERS IN THE MOTEL AND DIPS IN THE POOL AND NOT TO MENTION THE TRIP TO THE WATER PARK, I GUESS ALL THE CHLORINE AND CHEMICALS HAVE REALLY MESSED UP MY CURLS. I USED A DEEP CONDITIONER DURING MY VACATION, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THE WATER WOULD BE DIFFRENT FROM WHAT I'M USED TO, BUT I NEVER DREAMED IT WOULDN'T HELP. HOW CAN I GET MY BOUNCY CURL BACK, INSTEAD OF THE DRY FRIZZY THINGS I HAVE NOW? ------------- GOD GAVE ME CURLY HAIR, MAN GAVE ME THE PRODUCTS TO TAME IT, BUT I GAVE MYSELF THE COURAGE TO WEAR IT. |

I'm headed to Florida this weekend and am really worried about my hair, too! Hubby laughs at how worried i am, i'm stocked up on conditioning treatments.  You might try a deep treatment every 3 days or so, (just don't overcondition) something like this one: L'Oreal Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture Nurturing Crème http://www.sallybeauty.com/shop/product.asp?dept%5Fid=1215&pf%5Fid=500342 - http://www.sallybeauty.com/shop/product.asp?dept%5Fid=1215&pf%5Fid=500342 Apply and instead of rinsing it off in the shower, throw a damp hand towel in the microwave for 15 seconds or so, until warm and wrap your hair with it. Cover with a plastic shower cap and let it sit for 15- 30 minutes. Rinse with cool water and style as usual. The heat will open your cuticle and your hair will better absorb the treatment. Also, applying a few drops of jojoba oil or coconut oil to the ends of your hair before styling will help with frizz. Hope your hair is back to normal soon!
