Accepting my hair has lead to the greatest improvement.
I did this by finally recognizing that my hair looks better mid-length. Ihave fine strands and a wavy texture that I always wanted to transform into a Giselle-likemane. I used to spend a great deal on supplements, vitamins, conditioners,scalp oils, etc but it still never looked good long. In fact the longer it got,the worse it started to look and the more problem with frizz I had! Not tomention the tangles!!
Letting go of the desire to have long, thick hair made mine look lusher, improvedmanageability and gave more shape to my waves (instead of a stringy look). I’malso saving more money by using a simple shampoo (John Master’s Organics Bare)and very few other products (an occasional hair mask/oil).
a good conditioner makes all the difference, but I find some high and low end ones that work well. Tresseme anti breakage conditioner is really good..and a huge bottle is under $5. I also love Paul Mitchell products which I am willing to splurge on. Joico makes a great deep conditioner.
Count another one who stopped using sulfated shampoos, have used then on very rare occasions during the now 13 years since I switched to "co-washing", I know there are some mild and even conditioning shampoos out there but for me it's not necessary to use them on my head anymore since the right conditioners will do the job without stripping my colored hair (now double-processed so I could get the lightest ash blond there is). When I started my wavy and fine hair had color and heat damage but in a few weeks it looked completely healthy and it has withstood repeated colorings and/or bleachings with minimal damage, so I'd never go back and highly recommend it to anyone who's hair is looking dry, faded or lifeless.
Also, on several occasions when my hair seemed to have thinned out, the first time quite seriously, I got it to grow back by taking a silica supplement with MSM, works great also to grow hair faster.
I stopped having it cut at a salon because any stylist I've gone to (low cost to expensive) continue to leave 'chop lines' in my hair because my hair is very fine.
When I cut it myself, there are no chop lines and receive compliments.
My hair was frizzy. Got the Brazilian Blowout in November and it is still soft and pretty. However, the ends are splitted even though I heard that treatment doesn't damage the hair.
My hair gets greasy by the 3rd day of not washing, I wash every 4 days now. Tried some dry shampoos but the best by far has been not your mothers, its really great and works so well.
my hair is thin/average thickness, pin straight and rather limp. Its also medium length. I went mostly all winter without using heat on it! Trying to prepare it for summer time haha.
I bought a salon-quality blow-dryer. A Professional Super Lite Ionic Tourmaline Hair Dryer. Cost me about $160. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY!
You'll read in magazine articles or on weblogs that a professional blow-dryer can make a difference to the condition of your hair. Believe it! It's true! It won't transform your hair overnight, but over the course of a couple/few months? Oh, yeah.
(My hair is fine, stick-straight, and has ZERO texture. When it gets any kind of length to it -- close to or longer than shoulder-length -- it is dry, crunchy, fly-away, straw-like, dull, etc. I bought my blow dryer in December. Now it's April, and my hair is incredibly soft and silky.)
