I'm pretty sure you already know about coconut oil, so I'll recommend something else for a change haha. I recommend it's a 10 repairing mask and macadamia nut mask, I believe you can get both at any drugstore or beauty supply. I haven't tried it's a 10 personally, because I'm a cheapo, but I've heard nothing but great things, as for the macadamia nut one, it smells AMAZING and leaves my hair super shiny and soft.

Try a hair mask! I've heard coconut oil makes a great hair mask but I personally haven't tried it myself yet. I like the Organix Macadamia Oil Intensive Moisture Mask (:

Have you tried leaving in your conditioner longer than normal? Like 5 or more minutes before you wash it out?
A leave in conditioner might also help.

I'm currently using the Morrocan oil brand shampoo and conditioner! I have always been prone to dry skin, hair etc.but this is insane 😩😩😩 I shampoo about once a week (out of habit, I used to be a redhead lol!) and only apply it onto my scalp

Shanae it's happened to me before, All I did was take a break by switching to a different oil and then it was fine :)

That's good to hear. Thank you haha. You put conditioner on your scalp and not your ends? Or were you talking about your shampoo?

Mar 8, 2015

Nooo I meant shampoo! I put shampoo on my scalp only and keep it on for as short time as possible, and then condition up to about my ears!

Well the way you shampoo is a correct method at least. I use Joico's reconstruction shampoo & conditioner and it works wonders for me. My hair used to be dry as well and once I started using that it's been unbelievably soft, and I have curls too. Don't know if you'd be willing to switch it up but you should definitely try it.

Okay good! I have a bad habit of putting conditioner on my scalp, I try not to but I seem to always do it.

Doing a homemade hair mask once a week will dramatically improve the health of your hair. Also try to wash your hair as least as you can. Don't brush your hair when its wet. Always use a heat protectant when using heat on your hair and try to not use heat styling. Also use a deep conditoner on your hair once a week :) I recommend the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deeeep Conditioner. I also recommend the Pantene Overnight Miracle Repairing Serum which is a peoduct you apply to damp or dry hair at night so it can repair and keep your hair healthy.

How To Make a Hair Mask:
First choose a moisturizing ingredient as your base.
- Coconut oil
- Olive oil
- Avocado oil
- Almond oil
- Sunflower oil
- Castor oil
- Shea butter
- Mango butter
- Aloe vera gel
(Some of these ingredients can be very dense, you just have to warm them up in the microwave so they become an oil-like consistency.)
Secondly, pick one of these stimulating ingredients.
- Tea tree oil
- Lavendar oil
- Jasmine oil
- Peppermint oil
- Spearmint oil
- Lemon oil
Add up to 10 drops of one these oils to your hair mask.
Next, pick one of these ingredients to add a gloss to your hair.
- Honey
- Lemon juice
- Lime juice
- Apple Cider Vinegar
You can also add one of these ingredients for added benefits to your hair.
- Mashed avocado
- Mashed banana
- Egg

Mix together your hair mask and apply it all over your hair and let it set for at least 45 min. Shampoo and condition like normal.

I've never heard that before Justine.

Joico! Yes I love that stuff. It really saved my hair in dry spells. Also, aussie 3 minute miracle leave conditioner is amazing too and much cheaper. Also, what helps a lot is anti frizz serums!

Justine that happened to my hair when I was using the It's a 10 with Keratin in it on a daily basis. My hairdresser explained that if you overuse keratin it can be damaging to your hair. I then switched to only using it a couple times a week and now my hair is back to normal. So, it's a 10 does work well, just be cautious about how often you use it if you get the one with keratin.

I do believe they all contain keratin, but the one that says keratin has extra. I could be wrong though.

I haven't seen it so far so I'll just add in, don't use shampoo every day but do use conditioner (let it sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing). Also, I second pretty much anything from Joico, amazing brand.
