Maybe you should try Elasta QP DR11 - it's a deep conditioner you should use it overnight and your hair should be restored. It works really well and it relatively inexpensive ($5 compared). For extra moisture you can use EVOO. You should be able to comb your hair after this just fine.

have you tried clarifying? maybe you have buildup.

Hey Jada,

It sounds like you and I have similar hair types. My hair is fine, dry and thin (although getting thicker since joining LHCF.) Have you been DC'ing? I initially tried to get away w/o it, but for my hair it's a must. I have just realized that I must DC at least once a week. I also just recieved some products from Qhemet Biologics and I must say that these products are great for moisture. My hair drinks it up, especially my ends. You may want to give them a try. HTH

I would recommend deep conditioning your hair and even leaving it on over night as well, then wash out in the morining.

I agree with this and also cw helped my dry hair along with flax seed oil.

That's what I was thinking. Clarify and deep condition, and hopefully it works!

Clarify and then deep condition as the other ladies have said, but also...have you been consuming your daily recommended allowance of water a day? Sometimes the issue can be internal. Once I upped my water intake and started taking fatty acid supplements, I noticed my hair's moisture retention increased dramatically.

I hope something works out for you soon, especially with the winter months approaching.

i forgot to mention that. i was reading that dry hair can sometmes be a symptom of an omega 3 deficiency.

Thank you all so so much this truly is a sisterhood community..(love it) o.k. I did a deep conditioner with Humecto last night..and it seems to have really helped for the leave ins i used the Humecto & WGHO hopefully this will resolve the problem I did not use heat just a plastic cap & my turbo twist towel...I will do this again on wednesday also, will start back on my vitamins and drink more water...Once again Thank you ladies so much!

I used Tresemme Ant Breakage conditioner as a leave in and my hair is soft as cotton. After shampooing and conditioning, I apply a quarter size of conditioner to my hair and do not rinse it out.

After blowdrying, there is a noticeable difference in the softness of my hair compared to when I just wash the conditioner out and just use a standard leave in.

I totally agree with this. I have been having the exact same problem with my hair...it felt too dry and i could feel it break whenever i passed my hands through it.
I took some Elasta DPR11 and i mixed it with Amla oil and a little coconut oil(equal parts). I saturated my hair with this mixture and went to bed. Washed in the morning and walla!! Soft hair.
I was going to relax my hair this week cos i felt my 8 week stretch was the culprit behind the dryness and breakage, now after doing this, i think i may try for 10wks cos my hair is like a baby's!!
