My hair is drier than Charlie Brown's Christmas tree...

[ShiShiPooPoo]

I'll be doing some serious moisturizing. I know that Henna is the culprit. I haven't been DC's after like I should and my hair feels so rough. A couple days of baggying should help huh?

 

[Blackoutzangel05]

I would DC right away and then baggy for a few nights. Henna might not be the culprit but it is recommended that you do moisturize after using it. Hope you get that fixed!!!

 

[seymone]

wow, I had to laugh at the title... I would say cowash for a couple of days

 

[br0wney3z]

I'm having the same problem right now due to a coloring experience in which I didn't DC properly. What has really helped me though has been co-washing especially with coconut milk. HTH

Try a series of deep conditioning with heat with a good moisturizing conditioner. This should help alleviate the dryness some and restore some pliability to your strands.

 

[Mom23]

The title is very funny....I would deep condition and maybe try a conditioner wash too, that helps add moisture.

Do the conditioners you use contain protein? If so, that may be adding to the dryness. What about your leave-in is it a creamy one? I use Giovanni Direct, and it keeps my hair nice and moist even after I air dry.

I totally feel u on this- but I have to say glycerine is the TRUTH my hair is natural with colour [read extremely dry] and although my regimen (DC, co-wash every other day etc) and products (Aveda DR & Afrodetangler) have helped once my hair gets dry it was a different story. My daily moisture spray (rosewater, afrodetangler, infusium 23 and castor oil) was working ok but once I added glycerin:wow: try it its relative cheap and my sister has now "appriopriated" the whole bottle apparently its nice mixed with ur conditioner for DC as well.

 

[KnottyGurl]

I use the Salerm Protein Conditioner to deep condition once every 1-2 weeks. I use a regular conditioner during the week. I may have to cut the protein down to once a month if it's drying me out. I may try that.

I heard about it, but I don't know where to get the Giovanni Direct. I heard about that. Right now I only have Garnier Fructis Curl and Shine Leave-in Conditioner. It's creamy, but I haven't used it in a while. I'm on the REDKIN product train. Expensive for my taste, but I'm loving everything I buy from them! I'll look for a creamy leave-in conditioner next time I go to the store.

Thanks for the advice.

Hmmmmmm, glycerin. I keep hearing about this (nothing but great reviews). I'll have to see if they sell it at this natural food store 5 minutes from me. I may have to order. I'm willing to try almost (no monkey-ball sweat, etc.) any and everything.

Thanks HH

I have to order it from vitaminshoppe because I am overseas, but I know they sell it at Whole Foods or any health food store that may be in your area.

 

[KnottyGurl]

I love the title of this thread and just had to come in for that reason alone!

I wanted to suggest that another culprit could possibly be your ends. Yesterday I had a signficant hair cut - not trim, but about 2 inches in some places - because my stylist looked at my hair and saw that my ends were in rough shape. For the past several weeks I have been lamenting the fact that my hair did not appear to retain any moisture. Granted, there are things I could have done differently, but looking back on it I did a pretty good job of keeping my situation moisturized. Well, once she chopped those bad boys off my hair feels a lot better and has retained moisture even though I was in the hot sun all day today. I hope this helps.

 

[chayil0427]

Love the title. May I recommend Nexxus Phyto Organics Humectin or Kera Care Humecto. I also recommend Mizani H2O Night Treatment.

also try clarifying the moisture may not be getting into you hair if there is a buildup of product on it. I use Avalon Organics and I love it. I want to try thr Giovanni Direct but maybe later.

I was wondering about this too.

[Jaegermany]

Are you having any breakage?

I think my hair is not getting enough moisture and as a result its breaking..not severly ..

 

[Legend]

I swear by conditioner washes and S-Curl mositurizer to combat dryness.

Unfortunately, it is...

It's not bad though. I think I've just been doing too much experimenting.
