Here's my situation: I guess you can say I have curly hair. I just dyed it, and I got highlights done, I wanted to ask what shampoo and conditioner would be recommended for my hair, if my goal is to enhance the "curls", but treat it properly because I just got it dyed. Is there a shampoo and a conditioner that would work for me?? Please help!
Second part of the question. What would be recommended to make my hair more curly, what mousse, would gel (if any) would be recommended, then, last, what hairsray should I use. I was looking at buying a L'real brand. I'm looking for something I could actually buy at Target or Wal-Mart for example. What items could be recommended? Any help would be greatly appreciated! =) Thanks!!!
What shampoo and conditioner should I use to help semi-curly hair, but/and I've also had it dyed.? You can't get this at Target, but the Halo line from Graham Webb is an awesome line. Every product in the line is made for chemically treated hair. That goes from shampoos to hairsprays to gels. They have a curl shampoo and conditioner and a curl enhancing creme that when used with their bodifing gel makes perfect curls! The Curls Rock curl creme from TIGI is really great for curls also. For styling, use a diffuser on your blowdryer and tip your head upside down so the top doesn't get flat. If it looks frizzy add a little bit of shine serum and hairspray after its dry.
What shampoo and conditioner should I use to help semi-curly hair, but/and I've also had it dyed.? Well since nexus products are now available anywhere, I'd recommend for you nexus therape. Its an awesome conditioner/ moisterizer. Humectress is wonderful as well. Its a leave in conditioner, just takes a little bit. Another less expensive brand would be Aussie 3 minute miracle.
What shampoo and conditioner should I use to help semi-curly hair, but/and I've also had it dyed.? Well, I have probably tried every conditioner available, both expensive %26amp; inexpensive. I have the same type of hair, and I always go back to Infusium 21. It's great. Give it a chance to work. It is very reasonably priced. Be sure you get the original!
It says to leave in. I have done both, rinsed out and left in; depending on my hairs "today" condition. It is good to leave in, too. No greasy, no film, and, it makes my hair very soft and thick and healthy looking.
What shampoo and conditioner should I use to help semi-curly hair, but/and I've also had it dyed.? First of all buying proffessional products at stores is not reccommended. Although they are a reputable store there is cause to believe that they acquire there products from a not so reputable source. I forget the term, but basically they buy stuff cheap,and not from the manufacturer, so the manufacturer in turn ends up having to up the price of there proffessional products because of 'shortage'.
Other products (OTC) over the counter, are usually high in alkalines, acids, or alcohol and will diminish the life of your perm, dry your hair, and also fade your color faster. Reason being, none of these products are FDA approved and the can sell them cheaper because they are made cheaper. Ever buy a shampoo and then have it stop working the way it used to ? Or conditioner? Or styling product? Get a proffessional product specifically for you type hair. I have added a link below. You will be glad you invested a little more money because your hair WILL reflect the difference !
What shampoo and conditioner should I use to help semi-curly hair, but/and I've also had it dyed.? Having curly and dyed hair myself i can offer you some advice going back to the days when i purchased store brand products, which i no longer use.
For one, it is going to be a trial and error type of scenario on your part. Hair varies from individual to individual.
My hair is baby fine and very curly, however it has to be styled/diffused in a certain way in order to have the curl reach its full potential. Please keep this in mind when reading my advice, as if your hair is thick and curly these products may not work as well for you.
Target has a salong product available called "Dumb Blond" its a super thick conditioner from TIGI(i think).. comes in a tube. I used to use this every time i washed, you may use it less often, but i swore by this back in the day.
THe other non salon products i used were FrizzEase, especially the hair serum. IT works.. But do not over use... that is the key.
Frizz ease shampoo and conditioner work well also
The key to curly hair will be using moisturizing conditioners and also how you style them. For one, depending on your curl.. if its very curly , DO NOT brush your hair, this is key. You want to use a wide tooth comb, put in hair serum, follow with either gel or mousse.. (L'oreal or Frizzease) . .. then diffisue your hair upside down, while scrunching them... this will set your curl.
Gel will yield a heavier weighed down curl look..... mousse wilil make you have a more fluffy curl.
Using a good blow dryer is essential... i use a T3(recently became available at sephora) .. but it is very expensive and i can see how the investment is not for everyone, prior to that i used a conair blowdryer.... just make sure you do not overheat your hair. Its better to dry for a longer period of time on a lower setting.
Curly hair tends to be more fragile than straight hair, so it does require more care.
If you ever opt to spend the money, the products i truly swear by are Kerastase. I purchase them on e-bay as they are very hard to find in america and only sold in upscale salons for outrageous prices. I use the reflective series. Kerastase makes my hair very managable, managble enough where i can easily blow dry them straight .... it used to take 2 hours, now takes 40 min. (That is why i prefer salon brands and the T3 blowdryer)
When you go curly, make sure to finish your hair off with some sort of serum based spray ... it will settle your curls/remove frizz/ and make them look nice, i do not advocate the use of hair spray as i do not like the feel of it. The only serum type product i can think of is made by kerastase and its a light oil type of product.. but what works just as well, is rubbing a drop or two of Frizzease hair serum in your palms and running it through your hair.
Keep in mind that my advice is what i have learned with my own hair... definatley expriment... but cater the results to your hair type.
What shampoo and conditioner should I use to help semi-curly hair, but/and I've also had it dyed.? I use Umberto Giannini Curl Friends shampoo, conditioner and mousse, all of which really help emphasise my curls. I also love the Aussie Miracle Moist range, although it smells a bit funny, it really helps the condition of my hair. I also found the Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners great, they smell lovely and are not too expensive. I am not sure if they sell them in the USA but if you can get your hands on any of the above products they are worth trying. I also found it better to wrap my hair in a towel for around my hair after washing and let it soak up the water, then when I take it off about 15 minutes later I let my hair air dry, and then add mousse and blow dry with a diffuser attachment.
