My hair is so fried and dried from blow drying and coloring! Does anyone know any home remedies that could help moisturize my hair or at least make it look nicer? I’ve heard Mayo can do the trick, but it doesn’t seem to work for me!

You can do a deep conditioning. wash your hair as ususal. Put in conditioner and leave it in. Put on a showercap. Then use your hairdyer to keep the hair warm for 20-30 min. The showercap will keep in the moisture and the heat opens the hair folicals to allow the moisture to go in.

I Know you can do this at the salon. Call and ask for a deep conditioning. They have good products too and the kind of dryer you sit under. It also shouldn't be too expencive. My place charges $5.

Hope this helps

I've also done the conditioner thing, but what seems to work best for me is...

I put thermasilk conditioner in my hair, and before you put it in your hair, about 10 min. before, put a towel in the dryer. When you get the conditioner on your hair, put a shower cap on, and then put the hot towel on your hair. When it feels like its getting cold (the towel), already have another towel in the dryer. Or just use a HOT water soaked towel. Might be a little more complicated, but it sure helps my hair when its looking a little abused. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wink.gif

I know that you may not like to hear this but trust a cosmetologist, the only way to get rid of fried damaged hair is to cut it off. But fortunantly there are other options to help "masque" the problem and make your hair more manageable. Deep conditioning treatments twice a week will help. use a mild cleansing shampoo. too many shampoos out there (expecially suave, herbal essence, etc.) are hard on the hair. You need a mild acid balanced shampoo that is specially designed for that type of hair. Redken makes a wonderful line of products that i think would be just what you are looking for. I know that you probably don't like to spend the money on salon products, but you can buy bottles of shampoo for around 7 or 8 dollars at a salon, and the good news is, they are concentrated so it don't take as much. Try to avoid washing your hair every day if at all possible, your natural oils in your hair help more than anything. But like I said, all you can do is get some treatments and switch shampoos to help, but Cutting it will be the only solution to fully get you hair back restored. "onces it's dead, it's dead".

Oh no!! i dont want to cut my hair off! Ive been trying to grow it out for so long! But i guess i should! Thanks for the tips everyone! I'll try and do every single one of them!
