Hair dry no matter what I do! help!

Keeping it up to the point of pain is counter productive, if it starts to hurt, take it down or you may suffer from traction alopecia. I have been struggling with dry hair all winter, and I found the one thing that really works is oiling the hair right after a shower while it's still wet, not a lot, just enough to get all over most of the hair, then I use my TT to spread it evenly.

I've found that spritzing my hair with rosemary tea and then sealing with a very light coat of oil has really helped me combat dryness in my hair.

What is your hair type? Curly hair needs a LOT more moisture than straight hair. So much so it seems as though nothing oiling wise works. What is your routine? How do you wash your hair? Answer some simple questions and you'll have a lot better feedback.

I have been keeping it up so much i have caused myself scalp pain! Are there any treatments i can do to make it any better? Any help is LOVED!

Hi,

To get rid of split ends and dry hair i quit hair dryer, hair brush/detangler, hair colouring and smoking. I try to eat healthy with plenty of fruits and vegetables, milk and eggs. fish helps big time. hope that helps.

maybe this can help?
seems you get to get moisture in and hold it. THis is why many have success with the LOC method.

I had desert dry hair until I figured out I needed way more oil and that sulphates weren't my friend, for example.

I braid my hair every night. Every morning i wake up and i use miracle 7 leave in mist to detangle ( i have been doing this for years my hair LOVES it.) and i detangle with the white madora comb, then i use i widu brush to remove tangle any left over tangles. I have a mason person and a white boar kent brush to move oils around. then I put my hair up and leave it like that until i get out of work. I use oils (coconut avocado and argan seem to be what my hair likes best.) i was my hair as little as i can get away with. when i was it i use ion repair solutions products witch are the only thing my hair likes. i only put a small amount of shampoo on top of my head. i only condition the body never my scalp. i clarify and hot oil my hair when i need to. I really hate over night conditioning but sometimes i do that... I have a aquis towel witch is the only towel i use in my hair. i think thats it...
