How To Tame Dry Hair
submitted: Nov 4, 2009tip #345
Soft, shiny, healthy-looking hair like Alessandra Ambrosio’s is easy to achieve if you know how to treat your tresses.
1. Replenish lost moisture. Dry hair is a result of lack of moisture, both in the air and in your body. Tackle the problem from both the inside out and the outside in. Be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water a day and use a hydrating daily conditioner, plus a weekly mask. "Nourishing the hair via two different nutrient sources will dramatically improve its condition," says Natasha Sunshine, stylist and owner of the Byu-ti Hair Therapy Salon in Santa Monica, CA. We like: Pureology HydrateCondition and Redken Real Control Intense Renewal Super Moisturizing Mask.
2. Avoid over-using heat styling tools. When your hair is dehydrated and brittle, the last thing you want to do is fry it even more with a flat iron or blowdryer. "If you need to use a flat iron or a curling iron, wash your hair the night before and let it dry naturally so you can skip the blow dryer in the morning," she says.
3. Get your hair cut regularly. In these tough economic times everyone is trying to scrimp on the little luxuries, but a bi-monthly trim is worth it. "This will eliminate beat-up ends so your hair will look shinier and healthier. You’ll only need to take a smidge off to get great results," says Sunshine.
4. Be consistent. There's no quick fix for damaged hair and it can take anywhere from three to six months to fully heal dried out tresses. That means you’ll need to be diligent about your recovery routine in order to see real results.

IN the morning I have really dry hair so I try everyhting... BUt even then it doesn t work all the time. What should I do?????
Hi soapbubbles,
no matter what the deep conditioners say on the bottle always use the Hair Therapy Wrap! You will finally start seeing INSTANT results! Guaranteed. (cordless themal heatwrap for deep treatments) I have been using these so called oils that are suppose to penetrate miracoulously! Im still waiting for the miracle!! So, I finally heated up my HTW and within 20 minutes my hair was soft and silky again! Heat has always been used for thousands of years in beauty! Dont believe every gimmick!
God Bless!
