I have suuuper damaged hair, and I'm trying all shorts of products to get it back in tip-top shape. I'm the Maid of Honor at a wedding, and I don't want to look like a frazzled mess :{{

What are some of your hair care tips and secrets?
Ive tried the no-poo therapy. It worked great, until it started raining ash from the nearby wildfires, and I had to give in and shampoo.

I'm trying Bag Balm tonight....thankfully, I have a terrible sense of smell, but I hear the stuff smells awful.

I'm too young to buy beer, and too grossed out by the mayo treatment (tried and hated it).

Any girls (or guys) here have any tips to revive dead hair?

Wow!! Am I ever in the wrong room.

guess, im just lucky i have great hair ......

I'm teeming with envy

What was it that you were doing that caused all the damage in the first place?

try chi silk infusion and keratin mist (it's an artificail keratin that is really good for your hair) they both are a silk protein and since your hair is made of protein it kind of fills in the holes! or try redkin anti snap but you have to becareful of over using it because it's made of a different protein and too much could cause your hair to break but since your hair is damaged it will be good for a bit.

also never ever touch heat to your hair (blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, etc) without some heat protectant!!!!!

Moroccanoil. Expensive but worth it!

or put conditoner on with damp to almost dry hair and just chill with in on your head for a bout an hour! your hair will feel amazing!!! maybe try calm by rusk, chi, healthy by aquage, or extreme by redkin...

I have naturally SUPER SUPER curly hair.
So I relax it about 3 times a year. it loosens up the curls, but causes a tooon of damage. I'll definitely look up the morrocan oil and Keratin mist!

that stuff rocks but marrakesh oil smells a little better! and is a little more moisturizing!

Well geeze....my way to solve a hair damage problem was to just shave my head.

I don't believe that would work for her....unless she has a few weeks before the wedding..lmao

I don't use mine because it is actually too much for me (I have baby fine, straight hair, but needed it for a while because my color was too light and damaged my hair). If you're ever in Irvine/Newport Beach, I'd be glad to give you some of mine!

Really? I LOVE the smell of the Moroccanoil!

i know i love the way moroccan smells too! but we always sell out of the marrakesh faster at my salon because of the smell! im addicted to marrakesh!

when your hair is dry you should run about a pea size of deep shine by rusk, groom by prive, or align by redkin (even though it says to use wet it works great dry). i call them flat iron in a bottle. if you have any more hair cair questions i would be more than happy to answer them for you!

I am definitely getting Align by Redken tomorrow. :D

Thank you sooo much annie!!

I also have very curly hair and in humid weather I get MAJOR frizz. If you want your hair to be more moisturized then try this:

1. don't wash hair for at least 3 days, Let it get greasy then wash it. Washing it daily will cause it to dry out
2. Never use a relaxer or clarifyer in your hair - that will damage it more than anything!!!
3. After your hair is washed, rub a little bit of extra virgin olive oil in your hair, do not rub your scalp!!! Just comb it through with your fingers to the ends and let your hair air dry
4. If you do blow dry, use a diffuser
5. Try coloring your hair with natural permanent coloring solution with a NON AMMONIA color holder creme. Coloring hair can actually add life and help it be healthier. (of course do it your color)
6. Start taking in some Omega 3 from eating fish or taking fish oil that has it. That will help promote healthy shiny hair and less breakage
7. Don't rub your head with the towel that promotes breakage
8. Every now and then switch out your shampoo and conditioner routine by changing it up. Go from the coloring shampoo/conditioner to using a moisturizing and or for fine/limp hair. Curly hair is fine yet coarse and adding a conditioner specifically for fine limp hair will add lots of shine, bounce and easy to manage.

good luck!
