Finding Haircare Products

mangosncoconuts — Sat, 13 Jan 2024 13:57:21 GMT

Hello!

I am looking for hair care products--from shampoo, to conditioner, to styling tools and proper hair care tips. My hair is color-treated, wavy, with pretty thick individual strands. My ends (and hair in general) is extraordinarily dehydrated, to the point where the ends feel like hay. I can tell when I need a wash day when my roots feel EXTREMELY oily (but the rest of my hair is still extremely dry). My hair does not necessarily get wet instantaneously--it has to get wet in layers almost (?)

This is a prolonged hair emergency that needs solving!! Any advice helps. Thank you so much!!!

@mangosncoconuts amika is good if you are looking for something expensive. Olaplex is also amazing.

or are excellent for dry ends @mangosncoconuts They are soooo good.

I heard from a hair stylist once, you want to make sure your hair is thoroughly wet before shampooing and really make sure your rinse it out the same way. Extra rinse.

If your scalp is oily I'd suggest switching from hot to warm. Hot water feels so good but it can actually trigger more oil production.

Hi! There are SO many great products out there & sometimes it takes a little trial and error. I’ll give some recs, but more hair care tips.

Washing

If you’re due for a hair cut, just cut off the dead ends. I love my super long hair but it’s not serving me well if the ends are extremely damaged
Brush your hair before shower. So your not fighting tangles after when hair is most fragile (wet)
wash your hair the day it’s dirty there is no such thing as “training” your hair to go longer btwn washes. Plus this just allows oil & dirt to accumulate and prevent healthy hair growth
** would consider shampooing twice if your hair is still greasy after showers. Make sure hair is wet before and that you really massage & lather well with fingertips
No hot water in the shower, lukewarm is better. Or your scalp will dry out
**Continuously greasy scalp usually indicates a dry scalp. Hydrate it. You can use an oil before the shower (I know seems scary) …but my FAV of all time is not sold at Sephora. It’s the Coco & Eve Pro Youth Scalp Mask, you apply all throughout your scalp and hair and deeply hydrates. Highly recommend
Deep condition with a hair mask, but not your scalp. Put hair in a clip and leave in for 10 min. Rinse well. Like I mentioned Coco&Eve makes a great one
Gently brush hair with wide tooth comb. Or even a tangle teezer or wet brush. Key is to be gentle
**Apply a leave in conditioner right after the shower. Press in the product and scrunch & squeeze those waves. This is probably the most imp step cause it locks in moisture and seals strands i Love
Oil your ends: Rub in palms and evenly distribute. Not saturate. If you’re gonna blow dry i like to do this after. I LOVE and

Hair Protection

If you can avoid heat, do so. Do your best to minimize
ALWAYS use heat protectant and make sure your coating all the strands
Silk pillow cases are great BUT a sleeping with a silk bonnet will change your life (sell them everywhere, target)

Products

some brands that i like their shampoo and conditioner are

Oribe
JVN is brand that is frequently overlooked but fairly priced and works really well I think

@rosierue23 years ago I remember Paula Begoun saying Lanza was a good line. What products in particular do you like?
