my ends are kind of dry. Its wierd because my hair is still really soft and then the ends are just dry. How can i make the less dry with out cutting my hair :[ I cant get it cut because my hair is soo long, and the layers start above my ears. If the hair dresser is going to cut it he or she will probably cut it short.
Really dry ends :[? OK, this is totally from experience. I used to use DOVE. I was partial to dove for so long and I still had the same problem that you're describing. I had to get a hair cut every month and sometimes even every few weeks because of my dry ends. Then I make an impromtu decision at the store and bought some TRESemme (Anti-breakage). Then I got some Bumble and Bumble tonic lotion (a spray with vitamins, herbs, and tea tree oil that feeds your hair). I used to spray it on my hair every day including the ends of my hair. And I would wash my hair every other day--so it wouldn't get so dry.
Now, it's been over 3 months since I've gotten a trim because my hair still looks like I got a fresh hair cut (except it's a lot longer, but healthier from scalp to ends).
Really dry ends :[? pay attention to conditioning your ends in the shower and rub on some leave in conditioner after your shower.
Really dry ends :[? If you don't mind getting a trim every 2 months, i suggest that. Your hair then wont be try at all on the tips, and it will look fresher indeed. if you dont want to, treat the tips with leave in conditioner. everyday that will protect it from harsh weather, styling, and dryness.
Really dry ends :[? Deep condition your hair often, and cut split ends out individually with a small pair of scissors.
Really dry ends :[? Once the ends are split, there is nothing that will repair that damage. You have to cut it. I feel your pain, I have had many a bad hair cut. Find a stylist that will really listen to you when you say "just a trim please". I did and my hair has never looked better. She just barely takes anything off of it so that you can't even really tell I got my hair cut, except that the split ends are gone.
Best of luck!
Really dry ends :[? Make sure that when you condition your hair you get the ends too. Get them trimmed every 6-8 weeks to keep them from getting worse. Trimmed isn't the same thing as getting it cut. A trim is just about 1/2 inch or 1 inch, so you just have to specify to the hairdresser that you want a trim. =)
Really dry ends :[? here are some home remedies which are very good for dry hair. i had dry hair myself but when i tried these tips it was great! they've never been dry again!
Dont go out and buy anything expensive.
First: Purchase a mild Shampoo (To Clarify hair, I will explain why)
Second: TRIM your hair ends (May 1 1/2 to 2 inches)
Third: Here's the magic part: Mix olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and a "little" honey, (honey u will have to heat so it can blend). Either leave on ALL day or all night (if all nite, DONT use honey)
Beat up on an Egg: Separate the white of an egg from the yolk, and whip the white thoroughly. Then add 1 tablespoon of water to the yolk and blend until the mixture is creamy. Next, mix the white and yolk together. Wet your hair with warm water, remove the excess moisture, and apply the egg mixture to your scalp with your fingertips. Massage gently until the froth is worked into your scalp, and then rinse the hair with cool water. Keep applying the mixture until it is used up. Continue to rinse until all of the egg is washed away
Go for the Mayo: Heat up one half cup of mayonnaise until it becomes an oily, white goo and apply to dry, unwashed hair. Cover your hair with a plastic bag and leave on for at least 15 minutes. Then, rinse and shampoo thoroughly.
Mix up a Tropical Treat: Mash one over-ripe banana (the blacker, the better) with a mushy, rotten avocado. Massage this exotic puree into your hair and leave on for at least 15 minutes before washing out鈥n the kitchen sink!).
Grab a Cold One. Beer can give your dry hair a healthy sheen. Before you blow-dry or style, use a pump bottle to spray brew onto your hair. The beer will leave your hair shiny and sleek and its odor will disappear quickly.
In addition to using these home remedies regularly to avoid dry hair, try the following preventative measures:
Avoid overshampooing. Shampooing can wash away the hair's protective oils, so try washing less often and use a mild shampoo labeled "for dry or damaged hair."
Condition regularly. Conditioners protect the hair鈥檚 cuticle layer from splitting from the shaft. Pick a conditioner that works well for your hair and use it after every shampoo.
Wear a hat. Too much exposure to wind and sun can leave hair thirsty.
Trim off split ends. The biggest problem caused by dry hair is split ends. Schedule a trim every six to eight weeks to keep fraying ends under control.
Ease up on the heat. Heat (in the form of blow dryers, as well as straightening and curling irons) can quickly dry out hair. Let your hair air dry occasionally. Try using plastic cylinder rollers to straighten hair by wrapping slightly moist hair under and around rollers for about 10 minutes. For curling, try using sponge rollers overnight or sleeping with moist braids.
Don't swim without a cap. Use a rubber cap to protect your hair from the damaging effects of chlorine. If you must forgo a cap, rub a spoonful of olive oil into your hair before diving in.
Another thing is also putting in lotion in your hair after you have gotten out of the shower and you can also put in lotion in hair after you have dried it.
Just rub some lotion on your finger tips and run it through your hair evenly.
Also, something that will help your hair is to take COLDshowers. What most people dont know is that if you take hot showers, the heat gets rid of the oils and other things that your hair needs to be kept healty and shiney.
Smash an avocado and mix with jojoba and peppermint oils. Make sure its really smooth you may want to put it in a food processor with a little water. Then apply some to your scalp and the rest on your hair. Massage for a minute or so then put on a plastic cap. Leave for 15 to 30 minutes. The avocado and jojoba oils will moisterize and the peppermint will stimulate your scalp to loosen any dead skin and open your pores. It will feel great. Your hair will grow better and won't be dry. :)
Hope this helps!
