Need a good deep conditioner

Swedishmiss — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 17:23:43 GMT

My hair is looking and feeling extremely dry. It is also very fine so I have to be careful not to use anything too heavy.

I tried Wen (didn’t like) and have used plain coconut oil. Would love to hear any suggestions.

Thanks Ladies!

(I recently started using Minoxidil, and I think that is further drying out my hair - it is looking like straw )

My fave is coconut oil, I leave it overnight, wash out the next day.

Since you've tried that, my other fave is VO-5 hot oil treatment, sold everywhere in tubes, that you warm up in the shower, apply, add a splash of water (it will foam up), leave on while you continue your shower, etc. then rinse.

I use Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Conditioning BALM. I have extremely dry hair and it works well. Does not weigh the hair down. Be careful because there's one called CONDITONER that has a different formulation and I don't feel it's nearly as good. I also use Hydrasource Shampoo. Once again, be careful because they have one called Ultra Hydrasource that is not as good.

When I want a good lighter conditioner, I use Biolage. It won't weigh your hair down. For that deep conditioning, I would recommend Triple Moisture by Neutrogena. This WILL weigh your hair down if you use it all the time. If you use if at night or when you are going to be home, your hair will be flatter, but you can get the benefit of the deep conditioner. Eventually, you can use it less often. This helped my hair.

Carol's Daughter Monoi Hair Mask. Please read the reviews for it on HSN. That stuff saved my hair after it got damaged from over-highlighting and heat styling.

"Helps strengthen and restore fine, delicate or chemically-treated hair"

@Swedishmiss I bet you get as many suggestions as there are possible products. lol. Everyones hair is different.

For many years, I've used Shea Moisture Deep Conditioners in the tubs. Since I deep condition twice a week, this is budget friendly and it does a great job of keeping my hair hydrated.

I second the V05 hot oil!

I also second the Shea Moisture (I use the Jamaican Castor Oil Mask).

My all time favorite mask is Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me. I have curly hair, so anything to thick weighs my curls down, this one doesn't; I believe it works for a variety of hair types.

My hair went through some challenging times this year. Some additional things that helped my dryness is: I switched to a silk pillowcase and sleep with my hair wrapped in silk. It helps retain moisture and protects from excess "friction" that can lead to breakage. If it's excessively dry, can you reduce the number of days you wash it? That was a difficult thing for me, but my hair is thankful for it!

For reference, I don't have fine hair, but it is curly. Therefore, I don't like anything that's prone to weighing it down (it makes my curls pathetic).

@Swedishmiss Loreal makes a good one called Total Repair 5 with an almond and protein ceramide. It can be purchased at Wal Mart or any drug store and it is reasonably priced. My hair is porous, has never been colored but I suffer from Hashimotos(thyroid) and it is wonderful for me!

My hair was dry not damaged. I use Bumble & Bumble hairdressers leave in conditioner in a tube. Love this stuff.

@Mellyg ...I also use silk pillowcases...Can you share what type of silk hair wrap you use at night?...I have shoulder length hair and have been on the search for a good quality sleep wrap/cap.

Thanks so much!

My hair is fine too but it thick and can get flat from the weight.

I have a dry spot from getting highlights and after trying so many different conditioners & masks I found what worked the best for me was coconut oil. I put a small amount on my dry patch at night before going to bed and leave it in. I would shampoo it when taking a shower in the morning.

It has worked wonders for me and made my hair silky again.

@MyShadowLove , I could write an essay on all of the remedies I've tied with my hair! I have a slip brand and a Silke cap. I purchased the Slip brand (primarily because I had a gift card), but I also have a Slip pillowcase and I've been very pleased with how it's lasted. The cap is very well constructed, the fabric is thick and it's stitching seems durable. BUT.... it doesn't always stay on and it almost feels like too much fabric. It could be that it has a knot on the front and that could make it seem more "bulky". It is a lovely product, but I do prefer the Silke brand. The Silke seems to always stay on, I've had no issues with it, but it isn't as thick of a fabric, and I can see the elastic starting to stretch out (but it's very minor and doesn't cause any issue with it staying on). It's actually comfortable enough and I've worn around the house (it drives me crazy to get hair in my face and I was damaging it by pulling it back constantly). I've had the Silke since the beginning of the year and the Slip since April/May.

@Mellyg ...As soon as I saw your reply, I checked out Silke online and they look lovely...not sure I care for the knot in front as I don't want to wake up with an indentation...lol...but the reviews are good, so I'm going to order a couple and give them a try...such pretty colors to choose from.

Thanks again...very much appreciated!

@MyShadowLove I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! The knot is rather flush against the skin, so it doesn't leave an indentation (at least I haven't xoerienced it). I hope you post your thoughts on it!!
