| Lately my hair's been really really frizzy and dry and really irratating. I was thinking about buying some http://www.albertovo5.com/VPtreatment/pr_t_hot3.cfm - VO5 Smoothing Hot Oil Treatment . Before I do, I just wanted some background on it, since I've never used hot oil before. Any tips or advice on it? I was also wondering if it does any damage to the hair or scalp? |

Although it doesnt work for everyone(works great on my fine hair,not at all on my husbands coarser curly hair),it wont damage your hair.Have you tried a regular deep conditioner.The weather tends to take the moisture out of hair.Other factors to consider might be chemical treatments or hot tools.those will definitely make your hair feel dry. -------------

I have tried a deep conditioner, but it didn't make much of a difference. My hair's probably acting up because of the weather, but I have used a flat iron in the past. I used to use one practically everyday, but I stopped using it because of the damage it was doing to my hair about 4 months ago. Thanks for your help- I think I'll go out and buy it today! |

Blueorca, The Alberto VO5 hot oil treatments are OK, but conditioners will help your hair feel more moisturized. You said you were using a conditioner and it didn't help. Which one were you using? What type of hair do you have? (thick, thin, medium). You could also try a good leave-in conditioner, there are TONS of them out there. Or even a lightweight silicone spray would help your hair feel less dry. What is your haircare regimen? Also, your shampoo may be too harsh, and you are washing too much. ------------- **Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine. **Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown. **Length: below shoulder length |
