Hi! here is dilemma with my hair. lately I have noticed some changes in the texture of my hair. I always used Fructese or however you spell it and it has always left my hair so soft and managable. But for past couple of weeks it is so darn dry even after conditioning it I don't know what to do. Could it be from the chlorine in the pool? Should I try a hot oil treatment, or is it time to change shampoo's and conditioners. if so what are some really good ones for really dry course hair? I have long blackBlack cohosh Black draught Black haw curly hair and it frizzes all the time. I have had it....even after conditioning it when I go to brush it there are so many knot I end up pulling out so much hair!!! Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks!
I do think chorine affects hair, I have heard that hot oil treatments are good, my hair also gets dry , I have to use conditioners, maybe other more Hair litterate folks will have ideas for you .I found when I went into the pool I put a cap on to protect my hair I had to as I am blonde and it would sometimes make my hair a strange' colorColor blindness Color blindness tests Color vision test..
Yes, the chlorine from the pool makes your hair dried out and totally non-manageable. I would try to use a different shampoo and conditioner during the summer. Something that works for dry and frizzy hair. They have a lot of different shampoos and conditioners designed for that stuff. You just have to read the bottle at the store before you buy it and see what works best for you. Good luck!
try loreals (sp?) childrens swim shampoo. i've been a swimmer (competitive from 4th grade till i graduated high school and swim coach from then until last year when i got pregnant) since i was 10. i had HORRIBLE times figuring out what to do with my hair until i found the kids swim shampoo. it does work. use that when you shower after you get out of the pool and when you shower at night or in the mornings use your regular shampoo. since i started using that when i was a junior in high school i have had ZERO issues with my hair.
try puting some olive oil in it and keepin it moisturized..or it could be the chlorine when going into pools with chlorine water they have hair protecion a kinda like plastic water cap u put on to prevent water from gettin to hair it's not a shower cap it's kinda thicker like soft rubber it work for me hope it work for you>>tietie
