I think tabbykil gave you good advice.I have dry hair, but the shampoo and conditioner for dry hair gets it even more dry?
try aussie products! try aussie miracle moist shampoo and 3 minute miracle reconstructor conditioner works absolute wonders!! ive dyed my hair many colours and i straighten my hair everyday and its still so shiny and silky smooth! also i use aussie dual protection heat defence and leave in conditioning spray when i blow dry or style. they smell soooooo nice! i usually just head that way when im in the store and have a smell at them, theyre kind of relaxing, and if youre in the uk it is 2 for £5 in asda and 2 for £6 in superdrug (they have a better range i think) also CHI silk infusion is the best product ever for hair, it lasts for ages as you only need a tiny bit and it makes your hair super shiny and soft!
Im not sure about that but maybe your hair gets dry because of the chemical called ';sodium laureth sulfate'; it's a chemical that makes shampoo and some soap make bubbles and that chemical might be too strong for other hair types
But Try using olive oil on your hair then rinse it after 30 mins. Your hair may have olive oil residue but the sticky feeling on your hair will be gone in 3 days if you wash your hair properly
Trust me it works I've tried it or try using mayonnaise with the same process but it might smell a little be sure to rinse it properly also :)
You should use a deep conditioning treatment on your hair once a week. L'Oreal Hot Oil is a good one - leave it on for as long as possible. Use a heat defensive spray before using your straighteners.
People who have dry hair tend to be the ones who wash their hair everyday aswell - if this is the case for you, try and cut to washing it 2-3 times a week, it might sound drastic but you will definitely see an improvement after a month or so.
I have the same exact problem. The dry/frizzy shampoos and conditioners don't seem to work that much. I heard that if you put coconut oil in your hair at night, and then rinse it out in the shower in the morning, it helps with frizzy and dry hair. But I haven't tried it, because I don't want to get my pillow greasy.
I LOVE the Garnier Fructise sleek and shine frizz serum! It helps with frizziness and dryness. It has avocado oil in it I think.
Hope I helped!
Dont use your straightners or hairdryers or any form of hair dye for about a month for teh hair dye and 2 weeks for the straightners as you will kill your hair and if it gets too extreme it'll fall out. lather it in conditioner and even sleep with the conditioner over night in your hair. recommend paul mitchell the conditioner. or aussie hydrating. works (Y) and aussie smells gorgeous ;))

I receive literally hundreds of emails a week. Pertaining to various hair care problems. Most of these emails come for frustrated frizzy haired ladies and gents, from all over the world. It seems like such as mystery'; why is my hair so frizzy?”, “What can be done to calm my poofy hair?';, Why is my hair so dry?”
Well, in this article I hope to cover some of the main reasons as to why many of us suffer with the affliction better known as THE FRIZZIES! But most of all it has to do with a moisture deficiency!
Oil and Water...
90% of us suffer with dry brittle or frizzy hair because our hair is deficient of (moisture) WATER! There is a certain preconceived notion that has been passed on from generation to generation. That is the idea that our hair is dry, because we are lacking in natural oils. We are told that if we nurture our hair by brushing vigorously 100 times a day, with an all-natural bristle brush, or if we pamper our hair with hot oil treatments or smother out hair with cholesterols. If we do all of these things, then we are sure to be blessed with beautiful, shiny and healthy locks. This might be the case, if you have young virgin (hair that is not chemically treated) hair. But this is certainly not the case, once you have impaled your tresses, with harsh chemicals such as bleaches and alkaline permanents. Or if you have naturally curly hair,
Naturally Curly Hair...
Those of us with curly hair, YES! I too have curly hair; have these curls, because of a curvature of the hair follicles. A normal hair follicle under a microscope would be seen as perfectly straight. However we have a definite bend in ours. This causes us to have natural curls. When the hair curves it compels the cuticle (the outer layer of the hair) to lift.
The cuticle...
Under a microscope, A cuticle is similar in appearance to shingles on a roof. When the hair is in good conditioner and has good porosity the tiles or cuticle layers are tight together and perfect in shape. When hair is in bad conditioner or has poor porosity, the cuticle layers are lifted and sometimes damaged and broken.
When the cuticle layers are in good health, the hair has a smooth appearance, and because the layers of the cuticle are so tightly knit together, the light is able to reflect off the cuticle. This is what makes hair shine!
When the cuticle layers are not tight together, the hair will feel coarse and brittle. The hair will then absorb the light and not reflect. This will give a surface appearance of dull and lifeless hair.
To sum up this scenario. Because curly haired cuticle layer is permanently lifted, it feels, coarse, and brittle and has no brilliance. Hence the dull, lifeless look. It also means that our hair has poor porosity.
Porosity...
Is the ability for hair to be able to absorb and retain moisture. The best way for me to explain this is to would be for you to imagine a sponge. First of all imagine a brand new sponge. It will have tiny holes in it, and when you immerse it in water, it will soak up a large quantity, and be able to hold that liquid for a long period of time. This is because it has good porosity. Now imagine an old sponge. Its holes have become damaged and distorted. It might even be torn in some areas. When you immerse this sponge in the same amount of liquid, it will absorb far less and will certainly not be able to retain the moisture so readily.
It is the same with hair. Hair that has poor porosity will not be able to absorb or retain moisture as well as hair that has good porosity. making hair permanently dry.
Hot oil treatments...
Traditions have taught many of us that lavishly applying oil to our hair will give us the soft, shiny hair that we all desire. However more often than not, the opposite takes place. Most oils if they are not essential oils do not have the ability to penetrate into the hair shaft. Nor do heavy cholesterols. What they will do, is to lay on top of the cuticle, and coat the cuticle. This may give the hair some Brilliance. However, it will also coat the hair. And causes product build up.
Product build up...
Once the hair is coated, your problems will commence. First of all, the moisture that our hair so desperately needs will not be able to permeate through the wall of product build. The moisture is then not able to find it’s way underneath the cuticle layer. The hair cannot then be conditioned. Also the oils will not diffuse. If you use any kind of hot styling tools such as blow dryers or hot irons, what will happen to your hair, is exactly what happens when you put an egg into a hot pan. It will fry.
If you live in a sunny climate, the oil will do the same thing. The sun will heat the oil and fry your hair. You must have heard the term, my hair feels fried.
Optimum condition...
For hair to be in tiptop conditioner is has to have a moisture (water) content of at least 8%, and the right balance of protein and natural oil. Most of us pro
