My ends are very dry...I co-washed last night and deep conditioned with Joico Balm. I then used Giovanni Direct to rollerset. My ends feel BETTER but are still on the dry side. What do you suggest? It just feels like they need a good soak in something.
 
As much as the Giovanni made my hair feel good, it didn't have the moisture my hair needs expecially now that it's cold.

I switched to Rusk Sensories leave in & now my hair stays moisturized longer & feels soft.

Maybe try another leave in for your rollersets & see if that helps.

Also, I LOVE femodryl 619! I use this before applying the Rusk. It really helps my hair retain moisture.

Have you tried Kenra MC? This is the best mega moisturizing conditioner :yep:
 
Maybe next time do a good deep conditioning with a moisturizing conditioner. I would focus only on moiture (the poo, con, leave in, moisturizer- no protein). Does GD leave in have protein in it?

NTM is a good leave in, too.
 
I do have a bottle of Kenra MC. What can I put on my ends now that I've already washed my hair? Or should I cowash again and use the Kenra (or other non-protein condish)?

I don't know if the Giovanni has protein in it or not but my hair def. needs moisture right now.
 
You could try putting a light coating of castor oil on your ends at night after moisturizing, and then twisting your hair into a loose bun (cinnamon roll style with ends tucked in) with a scarf over it to sleep in. When you wake up, take the bun down and your ends should be smooth and supple but not greasy. It works for me...HTH!

BTW: be sure only to use a little castor oil... too much of this stuff is NOT a good thing :nono:

I wouldn't rewash it. What do have that you could use? Your hair does feel a little bit better, right? Maybe you could hold off til next wash. Just make sure you never comb dry hair.....breakage!
 
When my ends were dry I cut out the protein which was in the leave in treatment, cut that out completely.... Now I baggy the ends by putting moisturizer on the ends and put a plastic bag on them overnight then bun in the morning before work.. You need to add more moisture....
 
have u tried sealing them with castor oil?

I know after rollersetting for a few weeks my ends look 100% better. It may take a little while to see the difference.

I know it sounds a little crazy, but I just tried some Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion on my hair. My ends NEVER stay moist unless I am in a baggy all the time. I airdried my hair with some of this in it and it is light, silky and hydrated down to the ends. It's crazy!!! Trust me, I am not a bandwagon jumper, but this works.

That's not crazy... um, unless we're both crazy. It worked for me too. I forgot to post my results in the thread.

I have the same procedure for dry ends or dry length ...http://www.longhaircareforum.com/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6199&enum=20
 
Sometimes when hair feels dry, it needs protein. If the hair doesn't have enough protein it can't hold on the the moisture you give it. I find my ends need a little protein boost sometimes since they take the most wear and tear. Alot of my ends have also gotten a bit overprocessed from relaxer run off.

I like to coat my ends with a mild protein conditioner 10 mintues before washing. Then I shampoo and deep condition with moisture. I rollerset and after wards put a could of dabs of kemi oil on the ends to seal it all in.

I wouldn't rewash, just use the Kenra for your next wash.

What do you use as a daily moisturizer? Apply some form of moisture to your ends.

That is so true. :yep: If the moisture doesn't work (which is rare) I usually try something with ceramides, oat or wheat protein.
 
hmmmm....so I might need a protein treatment?

I have QP Breakage Control Serum.

I don't normally moisturize my ends/hair because it doesn't need it usually and it weighs my hair down.

I will just oil it up and put in a bun.
 
Thanks girl, I know what I gotta do...

I'm gonna have to snatch it back and put it in that fake bun I've got sitting on my dresser.:ohwell:

:lol: You sure? Your ends look good to me, Maybe just a couple of days of phyto and oil will have them back on track. Either way your hair does look great.
