split ends! (what conditioner do you use?)


Question Posted Wednesday March 12 2008, 10:36 pm

hi everyone!

i curl my hair with a curling iron every weekend (somtimes i just flat iron it) but the rest of the week i leave my hair pretty much nautral (no heat styling).

how do i keep it healthy? im going for a haircut to getrid of the spllit ends but i want to keep them away!

also, i feel like the bottom layer of my hair is extra tangly and dried out.

if it helps, my hair is fine until the day after i iron it, and then it gets split endy. so i cut off the ends. but they come back the next weekend!

i dont use a heat protector when i curl it because it gives my hair a wierdtexture, and its so much softer if i dont.

also, whats your favorite hairstyle for everyday?
(please especally answer ifyou have wavyish straightdark brown hair that goes halfway to your elbow)

and what conditioner do you use to keep your hair healthy?

thank you so much!

In order to keep your hair healthy, use a deep conditioner once a week. Neutrogena Triple Moisture daily deep conditioner works wonders. It looks like this:

Also, you really should use a heat protector. Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray works WONDERS.

I think the particular spray you use is probably bad, or you're using it wrong. You have to spray it on your ends after you get out of the shower and your hair is still wet. Once it's dry, or after you've blow-dried it, then you curl it. It should be fine. The Tresemme works amazing, it makes my hair even softer and leaves no residue.

Dove Intense Damage Therapy. It's in a dark blue bottle. I use it & it works pretty well. I don't have as many split ends as I use to. :]

& I have the same kind of hair as you do, but I really don't have a favorite hairstyle. I'd love to curl my hair but it never stays, lol. So most of the time my hair is straight.

Try using a leave-in conditioner such as Herbal Essences Long-Term Relationship. Since you aren't using a heat protector, your hair needs all the moisture it can get.

I have wicked curly hair and I use both Garnier Fructis and Bed Head shampoo&conditioner. Garnier is really inexpensive ($3 a bottle at Target) and smells amazing. There's tons of choices, all the kinds are basically the same but I always get one that specifically says for split ends, or dry hair or something like that. Bed Head is more expensive and usually is only found at salons (but you'll sometimes find it at Target or Hannaford) and is probably the best hair product line ever. Self-Absorbed & Moisture maniac are both great, and Fashionista (from Catwalk by Tigi Bed Head) is best if you dye/highlight your hair at all.

The best conditioner will only do anything for your hair if you leave it on long enough. So whatever kind you use, leave it in your hair for at least a few minutes before you rinse it all out.
