Dry & Frizzy Hair????

I have a niece and her hair has always been a struggle for her to take care of. It gets so dry and frizzy and tangles very bad, and she is tender headed so it bothers her to brush it a lot. She is mixed and some people tell us she has a white girls hair but then others tell us she has a black girls hair... I really dont know what to do for her, could someone help me out here

the perfect hair needs a recipe and for each person its different.

since it tangles easily its probably thin - like mine so straightening/ curling it could damage the hair. Also, blow drying can dry the hair to the crisp. She needs her hair to be strong before she can do anything like that.

Depending on her hair color try using John Freida's brilliant brunette or Bio Silk shampoo and conditioner.

Before she gets in the shower, try having her brush her hair in parts. If it hurts have her do the best that she can.

After she shampoos, use a wide toothed comb and brush through her hair. Softly so she doesn't break her hair,

Then, squeeze the excess water out of her hair, gently as well. This way when she puts in her conditioner she can soak up most of the conditioner.

While she waits a couple minutes before rinsing the conditioner have her wash her body so she doesn't waste water.

When her hair is still completely soaked and out of the shower, have her use John Frieda's Shine shock and have her leave it in.

Then she can either air dry - which is the best

or blow dry on the coolest temperature setting available. The tips of her hair should be dry with the 'cool' setting to prevent split ends.

Style it perferably down to the side or parted. If she likes her hair straight use a flat brush when blow drying.

After styling hairspray, then add a little bit of shine shock, or Bio Silk Cure Soyeuse Silk Therapy.

The Chi brand of straighteners work really well and usually add a bit of shine to your hair. Yet they usually cost $100 -$120.

I read this on another question it looks so you can use it -

By SisterAlice: wash and rince in cold water. really it closes the pores so you dont get the oils that make it flat. only use conditioner on the ends or that makes it blah. towel dry as much as you can. then put some root lift just on the roots at the part of your hair then with your head up side down either slightly blow dry in warm and cool or end with cool to keep the pores closed or instead of the hair dryer if you have time just keep running your fingers through it as your sitting lifting up as you do this. my daughtar has long waist legth silky blonde hair and when she dont want to take the time ( 20 min.) to do this she ends up with it in a pony tail too. if you use the cold water to wash and rince and do the finger thing you can do it the night before and still have fluff. or in the morning take a large curling iron and put it to the roots give it a one in a half twist back and pulling lightly forward and instant poof... just remember the more conditionor and the more you pull down is what your gonna get...

Hope this helps!

After shampooing and rinsing, apply a hydrating conditioner. Brush hair in the shower with the conditioner in. Leave conditioner in for a couple of minutes before rinsing. Afterwards, towel-dry until damp. Apply a small amount of Biosilk- it is great and makes hair soft and shiny.

I have incredibly dry, brittle hair myself -- to the point it would literal break off if I brushed it.. Its also very fine, so any kind of deep conditioning made it incredibly greasy. After experimenting with my stylist, I started using Biolage Clarifying Shampoo, and Biolage Hydrating balm right after. After getting out of the shower, I use Biolage Thermal Heat Setting Spray instead of hairspray. You put it on while your hair is wet, and it helps to set your hair without the crunchy-ness or damage of hairspray. At night I use a leave-in conditioner (also Biolage) and braid my hair with a silk ribbon (so a twisty doesn't damage my hair). I also use a silk pillowcase to prevent breakage, as well as an old t-shirt instead of a towel to squeeze the excess water out of my hair after a shower.

Any of these tips or products should really help the condition of your niece's hair. I feel for her!!

it doesnt matter what people say about what kind of hair it is, the problem is not being remedied by stating that. so ignore what they are saying unless they are give productive advice. relaxers are the easy way out, my hair is natural and is healthy. chemicals damage the hair. having dry and frizzy hair are signs of damage and putting chemicals in the hair at this state would not be wise. deep conditioning and hot oil treatments everytime she shampoos are the best and first ideas to try. and since she is tender-headed make sure you seperate the hair in sections when combing or brushing (root to ends). it is not a major issue of being mixed but since you mentioned it i have experience with styling hair of this description on a mixed girl's head and have done these same things on her hair and it is more manageable and healthier looking. Not mention a using a decent brand of de-frizzer. DO NOT use gel. it makes the hair dryer. hair maintenance on hair of any age is necessary so take the time, you or whoever is going to be applying this advice, to take care of her hair.

Move to Portland Ore! it worked for my daughter!

actually I know that sounds far fetched.If you can't do that;

Herble essence works (For dry hair) conditioner stays in 2 minutes COMB with a large toothed comb.

Once a day. Stay away from little pony-tails cuz it will break dry hair badly!! I bet she is so cute tho!!lol
