Pls help me - What products should I use?

[Sonikaa]

 

Please help! My hair has become just worse day by day. This is how it looks when I air dry it. Just horrendous!  I look at reviews and try to switch products but nothing is working. Here is what I have used so far:

Olaplex no 3 

color wow dream coat

Pureology moisture shampoo and conditioner 

Bumble and bumble repair blow dry 

Briogeo  repair don’t despair 

I blow dry using a dyson hair dryer and style using drybar double shot blowdry brush: It looks pretty decent after I style it. But the pic I have uploaded is my real natural hair 😞 

Should  I just give in and get a keratin treatment done at a salon? This is just frustrating and heartbreaking how dry and damaged my hair is.

Please understand that a keratin treatment is not a solution to your problem. While Keratin Treatments are great at gaslighting you into thinking they have solved your problem on the surface, on the internal structure (cortex) of your hair, they destroy them. They require the flat iron to be at a high heat of anywhere between 410-430F then to be run through your hair (depending on brand) anywhere from 5-15 passes. How high do you cook a turkey at? Bake cookies? I certainly don’t go near 410-430F. The reason the surface of your hair doesn’t burn is bc of the treatment, but the Cortex (the middle) gets fried. 

Have you thought about enhancing your curl instead of fighting it?

Have you tried anything from the Amika green Kure line? Their masks and split end repair cream really saved my hair. Also their new blue product Dream Routine is soooo good.

Some products that I have had good results with for air drying are Bumble and bumble Don't Blow It Fine Hair Air Dry Styler , Oribe Hair Alchemy Strengthening Treatment Serum 5.9 oz / 175 mL , Mizani True Textures Perfect Coil Oil Gel 11 oz/ 325 mL , Bumble and bumble Save the Day Protective Hair Repair Fluid 3.2 oz/ 95 mL , and #Living Proof Mini Perfect Hair Day In-Shower Styler 2 oz/ 60 mL .  I follow up with an oil on dry hair like Verb Ghost Weightless Oil to Fight Frizz and Enhance Shine 2 oz/ 60 mL or a very small amount of Bumble and bumble hairdresser's invisible oil.  My hair is 2a, so depending on your hair type, these might not work for you. You might also want to try a hair mask for your hair type.

You could potentially try towel drying it after you shower if you have already tried changing products. The blow drying could be causing heat damage. I wish you the best of luck. I know this is minimal advice but I just figured I'd try to help you out ❤️
