My hair used to be really damaged from coloring, hot irons and blow dryers. I like Daily Renewal 5X Rehydrating conditioner. You can get it at Wal Mart and it works great. Also, once a week I use a deep conditioner, I leave it on, put a shower cap over it, and then shoot the blowdryer up into the shower cap so the heat infuses the conditioner and I let it dry before I rinse it out. I also switched from a permanent hair color to a temporary hair color. You have to color a little more often (about twice a month for me, my color says it washes out in 8-10 shampoos), but since its temporary theres no ammonia or peroxide, so it doesn't damage your hair. Hope this helps!

To get your hair back to normal you need to have weekly deep conditions and then use Redken Extreme Anti-Snap. It's a leave-in treatment you put on damp hair that prevents breakage while your hair restores. The entire Redken Extreme line is amazing to revive damaged hair. Once your hair starts to get healthy again use a thermal styler like KMS Flat Out before you blowdry or straighten your hair. And the one product I can't live without it KMS Silker Therapy Plus and it makes your hair really silky which will make your hair look AWESOME while your hair is getting back to normal. I used to work at a Salon so I'm a total hair product junkie! All of those products did wonders for my hair. I hope this helps.

thanks for the info. i was thinking about going back to the hair dye that washes out, but i thought it would ruin my hair just the same, but i think i shall do it anyways. i shall try the treatments yall wrote about, and hope it works for me.

I have curly hait that's long. It's been high lighted and I found that recently it's also not as soft and very dry. Can you help?
