(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best hair treatment masks

Hey dude, add something like this to your routine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BIN8DW4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_58uWBbB2QE5KT

This stuff has given life to my previously dry, straw-like hair. Highly recommend it! Use this twice a week instead of a regular conditioner after shampooing. Towel dry your hair, then put this stuff in. Leave it in 20 mins or so (you can also try leaving it in overnight) and then rinse with cold water. Good luck!

For your dry hair issues, did you ever try hair mask's? They are quite cheap, and very useful for your hair type like this one http://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Triple-Moisture-Deep-Recovery/dp/B00027CDYM. It got rated quite nicely as well.

as a tried and true hair product junkie I highly recommend [Fekkai Glossing Cream] (https://www.amazon.com/Fekkai-Brilliant-Glossing-Crme-Oz/dp/B00FRDPMQC?th=1) A little goes a long way. Use it on damp or dry hair. It's a bit pricey but a tube will last you a year. Thank me later :)

Honestly - it's probably genetics. But you can find argan oil in hair masks, shampoos, hairsprays, or even as pure oil. I use this and I love it. Just a little bit helps, this jar lasts forever. My hair is especially softer and swishier the next day so I'm guessing it needs a little time to work. If you're not afraid of using pure oil, jump right in! I haven't gotten around to buying some yet but there are a ton of options on Amazon - I'm sure they all work just the same!

I wash my hair every single morning. It's almost to my butt. I usually let it air dry and when it's done drying toss it up in a pony or a bun because I don't brush my hair when wet. I brush my hair maybe once a week because it's almost always up. I have straight hair so it hardly is tangled.

Once a week I use a hair mask. This one because it makes my hair so much more amazing feeling. It keeps it hydrated and stronger. That's usually the day I'll brush my hair too.

Thanks! I was using (this)[Vitamins Keratin Hair Mask Deep Conditioner - Thin Fine Hair Keratin and Argan Oil Complex Hydrating Repair Treatment for Dry Damaged Hair and Scalp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014FVQSAA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kM1nDbTHYQCT5] hair mask and it worked great until I ran out. That's when I noticed the major difference. Can hair get dependent on products? Hopefully that doesn't sound weird lol

Also 2C/3A and I work out and wash my hair every day. I've found that my hair stays perfectly healthy with a really minimalist routine: I use no shampoo and no heat styling, and the only products I use are this Garnier hair mask(in the shower I put it in, comb through with a wide tooth comb, then scrunch it and leave some in) and devacurl ultra defining hair gel(best to use every ~3rd wash imo). Then I put it up in a high ponytail with an absorbent scrunchie to dry. That's all I do and my hair is great, no frizz. It's worth noting that I live in Phoenix though, so the climate probably has a lot to do with it. When I lived in michigan my hair took a lot longer to dry and there was more frizz, so ymmv if you live in a humid climate

I really like the L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Balm and the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Mask. There are often Target Cartwheel coupons and manufacturer's coupons for the L'Oreal mask.

I've actually seen Aussie 3-Minute Miracle with a pump at Target. It's a slightly bigger bottle and cost roughly the same per ounce for the mask.

1. I cut my hair myself when I was in high school. I was grumpy that my mom hadn't taken me for a haircut even though I kept asking, so I just chopped it off myself. I cut it really short too, and it was super jagged. I went to school with it like that, but for a band function at night, so only a few people saw/noticed. My mom finally took me to get it cut that weekend, though!
   
2. A hair masque I want to try!

   Thanks for this contest!! (:

I use

Nexus Therrape Shampoo and Humectress conditioner

However, I recently switched to Tresemme Deep Conditioning Hair Mask and it is way better than the nexus.

Additionally, once a month I use Lador Hydro LPP Treatment. This is a DEEP conditioner that you leave in for 30 minutes. I usually do a clay or cocoa mask or my nails. This helped me when I worked in the sun.

EDIT: you can get the its a 10 for cheaper at walmart than amazon. You can get that shampoo/conditioner combo cheaper than amazon at both Target and Grocery Outlet (regions vary).

No problem and best of luck! I added some more details in my comment to you in case they are helpful. 3 months is still too short of a time for a major time just give it time but trust your hair will repair itself! Try to not stress about it since stress can trigger hair loss too. I was at one point considering female rogaine but I’m so glad I didn’t

https://www.amazon.com/Dabur-Vatika-Naturals-Garlic-Treatment/dp/B00AXACR2G
The shampoo for this is okay but try to get this treatment product first. Be careful not to end up overwashing your hair so just twice a week is what you should aim for

> ArtNaturals coconut lime hair mask

Sounds really nice and its available on Amazon UK too:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ArtNaturals-Coconut-Lime-Hair-Mask/dp/B071KWZF4N

Sure - here is a pretty cheap mask that I've enjoyed in the past:

and I really like this one, but it's pricey:

http://www.lushusa.com/R-B/03080,en_US,pd.html

I, and I think a lot of people, find that all of these products end up losing their effectiveness after a while and you kind of have to switch it up and try new ones all the time. I try to put them in rotation so that instead of throwing out something that doesn't work, I'll just take a break from it and put it away while trying something else. When the new product stops working, I'll pull out the old one and it's usually just fine again. So, it's a constant search and you are not alone!

OSMO Intensive Deep Repair Mask 1200 ml https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZPI838I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LDz4BbJQ032QD

I swear by this stuff.

You’re so welcome. I really hope it works.

Do an oil hair mask (I've used this coconut oil one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BIN8DW4/) and stop using shampoo for a few weeks to see how your hair reacts. I've been washing my hair with conditioner every 3 or 4 days and only using shampoo once every 2 weeks, this got rid of the dandruff pretty quickly for me.

You could use some kind of moisture mask if you're not a fan of coconut oil! I personally like Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque. Every few weeks, I leave it on for ten or fifteen minutes in the shower while I shave and do everything else, and then rinse it out. Instant life for my hair.

I have naturally curly hair that I dye regularly and heat style almost daily. This is what works for me:

​

-I only wash my hair every 3-4 days

-The night before I wash, I apply Olaplex and leave it in at least overnight (longest I've gone is 24 hours)

-Shampoo with sulfate-free shampoo & conditioner

-Every 4th wash or so, I use a keratin repair mask after shampooing and before my regular conditioner (I leave this on for 20-60 minutes) - I like this one

-I get a keratin treatment ("Brazilian Blowout") every 6 months or so

-I take an iron supplement daily

Is this the one?

I like leave-in hair masks once a week myself. This is the one I use. Leave it in for 5-10 minutes and then wash it out. May want to do your body wash after because it's quite heavy. Also in general, I use conditioner labeled for "very dry or color damaged hair".

Two holy Grail products that solved all of the above problems for me

Shampoo
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0159OMQQM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_rmlWCb4NQBZKA

Mask
https://m.qoo10.sg/item/DAENG-GI-MEO-RI-2018-DLAE-SOO-PLATINUM-INTENSIVE-NOURISHING/619219422?__ar=Y

Reduce heat styling but if you can't,

Serum
https://global.ulta.com/silk-therapy-original?productId=xlsImpprod6480302

Heat protectant
https://www.amazon.com/Schwarzkopf-Styliste-Ultime-Crystal-Protection/dp/B00U6TX584

I admit I dont do all that much to it. My work requires me to have it hidden while at work so doing anything more than tying it up and putting a hat on it seems useless to me.

I wash it twice a week with plain shampoo I got from trader joes, followed by this that I leave in for 5-20 minutes (depending on my patience) and then rinse out..

Occasionally I will blowdry and/or straighten my hair. If I do that I usually put a little castor oil in my hair. (just plain castor oil i rub between my hands and then run through my hair)

Makeup (although I might be beating a dead horse with this one):

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush ($9 on Amazon)

Beautyblender makeup sponge (~$25 for 2) - IMO, the quality is worth the iffy price tag.

Hair:

Aveeno Nourish + Moisturize shampoo/conditioner (~$9 each) - hair products are almost always hit-or-miss for me. This is the shampoo/conditioner duo that I always come back to. Joico and Frederick Fekkai couldn't even compare.

Neutrogena Triple Moisture hair mask ($7 on Amazon) - best hair mask ever, and I've tried nearly every hair mask under the sun. Doesn't hurt that it is wallet-friendly.

"Wet Brush" hair brush ($9 on Amazon) - I have past-my-boobs-long hair and this is the only brush I can stand using. It's a lot less painful in terms of detangling, and it's AMAZING on wet hair (as its name suggests).

Teeth/oral hygeine:

Sonicare electric toothbrush ($40) - definitely a lot more effective than manual toothbrushes. Start off brushing with GENTLE pressure, as it can be slightly painful if you're only used to manual toothbrushes. After a decent number of uses, you'll get used to it. My boyfriend, who absolutely hated the Sonicare when he first tried it because it "hurt a lot" and even made his gums bleed, is now forever-converted after seeing the difference it makes.

Orabrush tongue cleaner (4 for $12 on Amazon) - I'm kind of eccentric when it comes to oral hygiene, so I use these religiously (i.e. whenever I brush my teeth.) Cleaning your tongue regularly helps keep off gross buildup, which contributes to stinky breath :p.

cheap one

expensive one

are you heat styling? damaging your hair will make it thinner, but it won't make it grow less. talk to your doctor if you're really worried.

I've been using Shea Moisture and occasionally Whole Foods 365 brand conditioner which still has cetyl alcohol, but it's lower on the list of ingredients. I also plan on buying this and this which both have no fatty alcohols.
