Question Posted Wednesday February 2 2011, 5:17 pm
Hi,
I'm having more of a problem with my hair as time goes by. I have elbow length hair. My hair needs to be washed every other day as my scalp/hair- esp front gets oily otherwise. After I wash it- I use Garnier shampoo and the deep conditioner- my hair becomes extremely tangled. i can never brush it, it needs combing for a good 20minutes and then can i only style it. I usually let it airdry and only on occasion I blowdry and straighten. Since the last year it feels as if my hair is getting more damaged/unhealthy. Am not sure what to do. I dont use anything else, no styling products, no hair color. Some say not to wash it as often but I ve been doing that since forever and otehrwise it will get oily. Am I using the right shampoo. Do I need to use any other product. Please advice for both the unhealthy and tangled problems!
THanks.
I used Garnier products for quite some time as well, but my friend and I discovered www.lush.com. Lush cosmetics are a line of all-natural pampering products that range from head to toe, literally.
My hair tends to be too dry if I wash it too often, and it fluffs out and statics everywhere, and I can't do a damn thing about it. I now use Godiva solid shampoo by Lush. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It smells wonderful and helps my hair lay down a little better. My hair is also quite a bit less tangled, a LOT softer, and shinier. They have products for oily hair, curly hair, straight hair, etc. Their products really work.

^That's a link to all their solid shampoos. They also have conditioners and cleansers. I highly suggest wandering around their site and trying a product or two. I have yet to find any products that top theirs, and I used to be an avid Bath and Body Works fan.

well this happans to me so let me tell you what i ussually do.
-when im in the shower i put tons of conditioner in my hair then put it up in a bun for atleast 5 min. then take it out and run my fingers through it to take the tangles out and then wash it out.
that really lets the conditioner set in our hair and makes it very smooth.
-i bought Nexxus deep conditioner which i use twice a week. but for you u can use it how ever much ure hair needs.
this is used after you get out of the shower, comb ure hair with a wide toothe comb (this does less damage than a brush) then i put the deep conditioner all over my hair and run the comb over and leave it in over night or how ever long you wish.
-i also have a frizz eaze leave in conditiong spray which is used after i get out of the shower, i spray it in and it detangles and conditions my hair all day long. :)
hope i helped!
if you have anymore questions just ask.

My hair's shorter than yours, but I still have the same sort of problems, especially in the winter (sweaters are my worst enemy). I started using Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship line, and it's easing up.
There's a shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner. I use the leave-in on my roots and under my neck only. It has really cut down on the split ends and tangles, and I haven't had any problems with using it every day. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
