Can anyone recommend a good hair conditioner? I have highlighted hair so it is a little dry and frizzy from that.

Thanks!

hi! dry and frizzy hair....my fave is REDKEN extreme line, it helps repair and replace protein back into the hair shaft. i like to mix the Extreme deep conditioner with Redken All Soft conditioner and leave on for a few minutes. you get repair and smoothing from both. my hair is naturally curly, colored/highlighted-often (i work in a salon), and i use a flat iron a lot. i really like those products. anything with keratin or protein in the product is great to repair hair, since that is what hair is made of. with frizz, use some smoothing serums when it's wet out of the shower to help control it-i like Paul Mitchell super skinny.!

good luck!

I've also heard good about Redken all soft but haven't used it myself! I'm a college student on a budget so I can't spend too much.. my hair got overbleached from a highlight job once at a new salon and was pretty damaged. I kept having breakage and it looked frizzy at first! I used Loreal Vive Pro Nutri Gloss products for long hair that is damaged.. it totally turned my hair around. I still have the conditioning treatment that I use every now and then but now the products were actually too moisturizing since my hair is normal again. I was surprised how much it helped my hair for a great price. I actually was using Biolage's fortifying conditioner and shampoo for weak hair and it did not help much.. then I switched the the Loreal.

Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't tried either of those suggested, I am going to try the Loreal one first (cheaper).

I have long highlighted hair and believe the L'Oréal Professionnel line to be phenomenal. I alternate between the Lumino Contrast Radiance Masque, Vitamino Color, and Intense Repair. I am also fond of Kiehls Olive Fruit Deep Conditioner and Redken's Smooth Down series--both the butter and regular conditioner. I also prime my hair w/ the Heat Glide serum before blow drying. It has macadamia oil in it which makes for a nice scent. I have also become a recent fan of John Frieda's Luminous Color Glaze in clear shine. It does a marvelous job of keeping your color treated hair shiny.
