Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
My hair tends to be excessively dry. When I have time, I do a hot oil treatment. Doesn't solve the problem, but it helps for some time. I started a thread a while ago about that, got some suggestions there as well.
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
I wouldn't say my hair is particularly dry but I do apply coconut oil almost everyday. Just a tiny amount is enough to keep my hair moisturized without being oily.
How are you wearing your hair? When I start wearing my hair down all the time, it can get a little dry.
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
You might get more benefit from doing a more intensive moisture treatment, if you're just using a regular conditioner. Afterward, put a little oil on while your hair is still damp, and wear it up. When the weather is really dry (or I'm in furnace-heated house), my hair dries out much more when it's loose than if I wear it up, and the only method I've found to counteract it when I choose to keep it loose is to really grease it up at the beginning of the day and start out with loose oily hair.
ETA: consider even bunning it still damp. A lot of folks' hair really likes this.
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
Does your conditioner have silicones in it? This is just a wild guess, but maybe it feels nice a smooth and moisturized at first, but it's really not. I'm not an expert. :o
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
It could be silicone build-up or protein issues.
I have to condition my hair everyday, but I have naturally dry hair.
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
I'm currently having the same issues. Mine is due to dry winter/heated air. I just mist and oil my hair when it needs it until the winter is over.
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
I have the same issues. I guess it is from indoor heating ( heat with propane but also with a wood furnace and small electric heaters.....so lots of dryness). I am trying leave ins but they are not helping much. Wish I could find a really good intensive deep moisture conditioner.
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
My hair never does this, but a friend did and she oiled it when it was wet and put it in a french braid, this seemed to seal in the moisture for longer :)
Re: Must Moisturize Daily?
I was going to ask about silicones as well because mine does that too more when I use them. That's why I usually DON'T use them. Do you use a leave-in conditioner? I do that and then also use coconut oil both while my hair is wet and it helps a LOT. If I need something in between I dampen my hair and then add some coconut oil or spray it with a mix of water and conditioner.
