Hair Products - Pompano Beach,FL

Its a 10.
Its a leave in product spray. Its in a blue squirt bottle. My stylist has used it forever and a little goes a long way. It conditions, help prevent breakage, protects hair from heat, prevents frizzies It is really GOOD stuff!

I like to use biosilk silk theropy on my hair and my daughters before drying it,

you can get it at Ulta in a tiny bottle to test it out. I have also bought it at Target in a big bottle.

It is not going to change your hair over night but, it will change the apperance right away.

Hi. Does it need to be cut or trimmed? Can you just snip a little from the ends? That goes a long way believe it or not.

Hair grows from the inside out, so make sure you are getting enough fluids. Fatty acids are needed for good hair condition as well. Almonds, walnuts etc are excellent for the hair as well as sunflower kernels. You eat these not a treatment :P

A lot, really most, shampoos have a lot of chemicals in them that really dry your hair out. They also have chemicals in them that actually "coat" the hair and scalp, preventing any good ingredients from actually being absorbed into your scalp. You want to avoid sulfates, parabens, certain alcohols, mineral oil to name a few.

I started making my own shampoo and year ago and my hair has never been better!

Flat irons really damage your hair, so if you can avoid using it every day would really help. Also use a heat protectant(sp?) helps as well. You can even make your own! All natural.

I would be happy to share links, recipes if you'd like. Feel free to pm me.

Good Luck!

The flat iron was frying my hair so I had to give it up. Now I have a cut that looks good with mousse and scrunching for curls. Then I run my fingers through to break up the stiffness from the mousse. My stylist just showed me how to get soft curls using the blow dryer and a big round brush. That might be another way to tame medusa hair without the irons.

I like biolage products and use their serum, as well as neem oil that I get online. Plus a restoring cream by Age Beautiful that I get from Sally Beauty. It's all temporary. I don't know if any of these products really makes my hair more healthy, but it looks better and less dry when I use them.

Unless you have oily hair, washing with shampoo four or five times a week is too much. I condition daily, but only shampoo twice a week, and my hair is still dry.

I don't recommend a massive hair cut, but a trim now and a trim about four weeks before the event.

I get dry hair too due to my styling. My stylist always pushes products that have thermal barriers or products made to protect hair from high heat (not that I always listen - LOL).
so look for products to replace those you already use that are formulated to protect hair at high heats.
also - Moroccan oil (they make if for fine hair!) and Ojon makes a leave on hair treatment that you wash out. Reminds me of the VO5 hot oil, but so much nicer and you can get at ulta in a little one use pack super cheap.
Treseme makes some high heat mouse (helps with volume) and I use some Aveda products as well.
Not sure about your price point, but they make em in a range.
Good luck.

Is it just dry hair or has there been some sort of chemical process? If it's chemical, there's not a lot you can do.

If it's just naturally dry hair there are some steps to help it out. First being as someone suggested, not using shampoo on it everyday. We have natural oils in our hair for a reason, and in the old days they brushed a hundred strokes a night because it helped keep their hair healthy by distributing those oils.

now you can go shampoo free, I know a lot of people who swear by this and their hair is pretty amazing...

Mayo/avocado are great deep conditioners. Also using a leave in conditioner after you do wash your hair.

Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Use a deep conditioner once a week (or a mask/leave in conditioner made for dry hair). When you hot iron, curl or even blow dry, use a heat protectant.

Use the Dove high moisture shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair. (or something like that...it might Dove Damage Therapy...) It's fairly cheap and works wonders. I used it when I had extensions in and for a while after.

Can you cut back on the heat? Be careful about pulling it too tight when you wear a ponytail and don't put the ponytail or clippie in the same spot al the time. It will break your hair.

Also, go to your hairdresser and get a major condition treatment. I do this occasionally to maintain healthy hair. My hair is straight as a board, almost black and hangs to about the bra strap. There is no curling to my hair at all thanks to my Native American heritage. I typically wash it and let it air dry most of the way and use the dryer on warm for about 3 minutes. I do not use a flat iron, etc. I tried the Chi Enviro treatment on it about a year ago when my stylists started using it which is heavy conditioning. I loved the effects of it.. my hair was super soft. It was about $150 though.

My daughter and I like the conditioning treatment by Aussie (in the grocery store, purple container) for once or twice a week. Feels great.

I also use Chi oil or Argon oil (just a touch) to maintain a shine.

Also, coconut oil is good too. Buy it in the oil aisle of the grocery, about $8 for the jar. It is solid but as soon as you touch it, it melts. Just don't use too much and keep it on the ends, not scalp.

Best wishes!

I use this deep conditioner from Neutragena:

I also love Kerastase Elixir Ultime; I use it on my wet hair before styling it. It's a little pricey, but you only need a couple of drops and it goes a long way. It's great to add a little shine on dry hair, too.

And I'd let my hair air-dry on weekends.

Don't wash your hair so often. Unless you are sweating alot, your hair doesn't get that dirty. People with oily hair have to wash their hair all the time; you don't! When I used to flat iron my hair, I would wash it at night, flat iron in the morning, then the following few mornings I would either take a bath or cover my hair in the shower with a shower cap. Then I would just touch it up with the iron. It was weird - the longer I went WITHOUT washing it, the more compliments I would get!
They also make "dry" shampoos now. I've never tried one, but have heard good things about them.

I also used to have a job where I had to prep my hair daily. I eat right and exercise, but still have problems with sry skin and hair (most likely due to our weather). I found using a thermal spray or cream b4 I applied heat helped to protect. I second Ulta. If you have one near you, they are great and the staff is helpful instead of pushy.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is a filter for your shower head. You will notice a difference. I have a friend from work that agrees, but says if you get a whole house softener it will make a WORLD of difference. That's not in our budget, but the filters are affordable!

Try a heat treatment with cholesterol from Sallys. You wash your hair and towel it dry. You apply the conditioner and sit under a heat cap for about 30 minutes and then rinse and style. Do this once a week for the next three weeks.

This will tame your "Medusa" hair. Or find a style that goes with the hair so that you are not fighting with it as much. Florida is humid and straight hair is hard to keep without frizz.

Enjoy the wedding and let us know how it went.

the other S.

Well, in case you can't break the habit of washing your hair every night (which is great advice), you could reduce the amount of oil you strip out by only washing it once and not reapply the shampoo. Also, use barely warm water on your hair. And whatever shampoo you use, use as little as you can to lather a little. The less you strip your hair, the more helpful.

On a completely different note, make sure you have good oils in your diet everyday. Olive oil, nuts, olives, avocado, etc. Your hair will be healthier and it can't hurt your skin or nails, either.

Have fun at the wedding. You are a very considerate bridesmaid!

K.:

There are no products who can "fix" your hair. This is a dietary/body issue. You need to find out what nutrients you are lacking to create dry, brittle hair.

Try putting it in a ponytail at night after you wash it...

Keep in mind that "Dry hair" means that your hair shaft is NOT getting the moisture it needs to keep your hair shiny.

I did a quick google search to find out about dry hair...this is what I found.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/133976-what-causes-hair...

Take a look at what you eat - that could be causing your dry hair as well!

You can always get a wig for the wedding. i wouldn't worry about that - having long hair - I would worry about what's causing my dry hair.

Good luck!

Since you use heat products a lot, I would suggest finding a product specifically for heat styling. I have used Biolage hair mask and it was awesome. I think it cost about $18 from the salon but the container lasted a long time. I would also second getting a trim to get rid of any spilt ends that can make your hair look super dry. Just take off an inch now and then maybe a tiny clip about a month before the wedding so it looks fresh.

I also like Aussie 3 minute conditioning treatment for my hair when it seems to be getting a bit drier than usual. $5 or less is easier on my pocket.

I love i.c. Hair Polisher! It turns harmful elements into the best allies!

Also, try a shampoo that doesn't contain whatever the stuff is that strips it of ALL the oils. (That's it, sulfates.) You really shouldn't be doing that every day. You don't seem to have the kind of hair that requires it. Maybe you could consult with a professional stylist? And don't rinse the conditioner all the way out.

Whenever I am having a particularly dry patch (like in summer), I shampoo and load it up with conditioner. Then, I leave the conditioner in for a couple of days, letting the sun give me a heat treatment. When I finally rinse it, it feels like it's come back to life!

You already know the answer: You're doing way too much to your hair. Just stop it. If you know that it'll help you, forego the heat for a bit and wear ponytails or other styles. Why just live with awful hair if you can do something about it? New hair products will be a temporary fix, maybe. You have to start with the basics of how you treat your hair.

Im also American Indian however besides the color.and dry hair the rest of our hair features are complete opposite! Mine is extremely thick/coarse amx curly, and I have ALOT, TREMENDOUS AMOUNT of this type of hair! If I don't wear my hair down and curly, full of styling product then.I.go as long as poss w/out washing, just spraying Morroican or Gargantuan oil in it, and before I do any type of styling I use a rediculous amt of leave in conditioner from Paul Mitchell (large amt bc of massive amt of thick hair I have!) But in shower I wash w/normal shampoo then always condition with Mayo and advacodo mixture. It stinks but I throw a Lil cheap VO5 conditioner that smell goods in without rinsing, just for the smell. The Mayo combination has made a world of difference in the texture, strength and growth of my hair since I started about yr ago. Swear by it. Def protect it w/a heat product if u are useing heat, that's important.
Btw hair extensions for long hair is possible if u really wna cut it!
Good luck :)

I wash my hair once a week, and am constantly told I have beautiful hair, although due to a lot of stress lately, I have been losing massive amounts, but it is still shiny! :)

I recommend washing it as little as possible, and cut back on the amount of heat that you put in your hair. Flat irons usually have a temperate setting, so try setting it on the lowest heat setting that will still give you good results to avoid breakage. You may also want to try a heat protectant spray that will protect your hair from hot styling tools.

Someone once told me the Chi is less harmful for your hair than a ceramic flat iron, but I'm not sure if this is true. You may want to look into that, though.

In my experience and from watching others who have walked into hair salons for a blow dry, Medusa hair can usually be tamed if you take the time and patience to section out hair and blow dry it with a round brush.
