You're wrong.

is it? I have unmanageable curly hair, please dont tease me

>>6715314
Well, shit.
What would be a good alternative?

>>6715330
Depends on how healthy and dry/moisturized your hair is. I'm a big fan of DevaCurl shit.

>>6715330
This stuff is pretty rad. Works wonder for my curls (looser wavier curls) and my sis's (legit corkscrew curls). You can find it at Target.

>>6715346
They also have a hair mask with clay or something that magically moisturizes your hair and makes your scalp less oily at the same time. Shit is pretty cash.

>>6715288
I just bought the variety for dry hair today because it was on sale. Is that really a good conditioner?

>>6715362
It really makes my hair smooth, moisturized, shiny, and easy to brush. This anon >>6715314 remarked how it contains alcohol and the other two shit in it, and it's commonly known that alcohol is horrible for curly hair, and it's known to produce dandruff in the long run.

Thankfully, I've been using garnier products for just a few months, but I'd try
>>6715346

This stuff never washed out properly, it made my hair greasy and heavy.

>>6715379

Seconded.

This stuff is pretty boss.

>2013
>not buying Aussie Hair products

I have the shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, the 3 minute miracle and the shine serum. I'd swear by the stuff, especially the Colour Mate series (I dyed my hair with semi-permanent dye that usually washes out after three weeks max, this stuff kept it in for so long I ended up re-dying because of new growth not fading). It smells damned amazing too.

>>6715393
>>6715403
Yeah the conditioner was way too runny and didn't make my hair manageable.

I like this stuff the most so far, even the shampoo begins to make my hair feel awesome which is really rare for me.

>>6715393
I know this has a huge cult following, but I was really disappointed in the conditioner. I think I just like things that have some added curl definition benefits and frizz reduction. It did make my hair shiny, though.

>>6715288
This product is alright, I usually use it inbetween other shampoops and conditioners whenever my hair gets burnt out on the usual stuff I use.

>>6715393
My mum brought it once. It make my hair rough and dry like sand paper. Never again.

Can this be general hair thread? I have waist-length hair that is quite thick, and our winters last 6 months. What's something nice that will help with split ends?

Also can anyone recommend some cheap but decent shears for trims once in a while?

I swear by Pureology, it's a bit pricey but the green bottles make your hair feel amazing and can withstand a lot of damage.

>>6715402
This was pretty lovely.

I've been using tresemme and I love it for my hair. I use a straightener, since I prefer it straight and its helped keep it smooth and soft.

>>6715414
you can't fix split ends that are already there.
Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi styling treatment oil or Gloss Drops are both great for dry hair, the Awapuhi can be put in wet hair as well but Super Skinny is what you'd want if you want to put it in wet hair instead of Gloss Drops

Bed Head's Dumb Blonde is really really nice, dry hair only

Redken's serum is really nice- can't think of the exact name right now. wet or dry hair.

any serum or cream is basically okay. if you NEED drug store the Healthy Sexy Hair line is good, and so is Got 2b Glued. they have this line that's like pink and yellow bottles and is quite nice- but i don't really know what is in it ingredient wise. but i used it for a very long time and my hair is really healthy so- lol

Sally's has fine sheers, just only cut your hair with them. nothing else. no paper, thread, nothing at all.

It's not. It makes my hair feel "coated". And yes, I did wash it all out.

I used Tresemme Naturals.

>>6715433
that's from all the silicone in it.

you know that video of the girl who tried to curl her hair and it "melted" off? her hair didn't melt, the silicone covering it did.
i get shivers just thinking about it.

>>6715423
what color is your hair and what do you do to it? bleach, color, perm, relaxer, etc?
Pureology is like the holy grail of hair care for damaged in most peoples eyes, but it makes mine feel - too clean. like there's no oil in it at all and i like a bit of artificial softness to my hair.
Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi wild ginger shampoo and conditioner does the same thing to me.

i can't figure out why because everyone else loves it 10/10 would wash my hair with this forever status.

>>6715288
I like Pantene ProV for curly hair wayyy more then that shit. I also use a Avons oil for frizz which works pretty damn good for the price.

>>6715441
I never especially liked pureology either, when I was using their color treated products (blue bottle) they weren't bad, bud they weren't noticeably better than anything else.

has anyone tried davines?

>>6715456
Overpriced bullshit, in my experience. Can't remember which mucus tub in particular I tried though.

>>6715402
This brand is amazing, but the mint one makes me feel like I'm sitting in a box of junior mints for some time afterwards. (Although none of my friends seem to understand why I don't like that affect.)

>>6715441
I was bleaching my hair for a while but then I went brown and cut it off to my shoulders in Jan. It has faded out to a medium blonde now and I am letting it grow out. I understand where you are coming from though, I like to switch between the purple and green bottle since the green can be too drying from the protein, and the purple can be too oily from the moisturizing. I've never tried Paul Mitchell though, it's so hard to find that perfect shampoo/conditioner mix that doesn't over dry or moisturize your hair.

>>6715456
i mean, i know what's in it is amazing for your hair and there is very little that can do better for your hair
but i didn't like how it felt regardless

just not for me
lol

i haven't tried davines, and i haven't heard anything about it either.

>>6715465
i'm using Redken's... golden bottle. can't remember what it is though, the name. i know it's like a basic moisture whatever- nothing for any specific problems since i just have all black hair.
it's really nice, i like it fine, my hair feels amazing even with no product in it
but my hair sucks regardless of what i use. thank god for hair extensions.

Does anyone have tips for "thirsty hair". I went to the Paul Mitchell school and the teacher kept mentioning it to the girl doing my hair. Does that just mean my hair is really dry?

>>6715573
>Does that just mean my hair is really dry?

Yes

>Does anyone have tips for "thirsty hair".

Get yourself some Aussie "Moist", both the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is mostly dry/coarse. I used to use the shit OP posted because that's all my family bought. I just used to use whatever said "shampoo" in the bathroom.

Friend of mine told me to switch shampoos...and I've never looked back. My hair is silky smooth and healthy now.

I'm a dude, btw. I don't even give a shit about brands and cosmetics ect, but I still swear by this stuff. Especially for dryer hair.

Whenever I use expensive shampoos and conditioners, my hair always feel like it isn't clean and it gets really greasy. Only cheap shampoos and conditioners like Pantene and Garnier have ever worked for me. They clean my hair the best and keep it soft and shiny with no split ends or anything.

I can't use garnier It's a fucking pain in the ass to get open in the shower. Crap packaging = crap product.

i just use bath and body works 2 in 1 shower gel/shampoo - is it really bad for my hair? :<

I usually use this stuff, it's what's worked best for me so far. I would try pureology but one bottle of shampoo+one bottle of conditioner is like $90

>>6715573
it means your hair is porous, it soaks up a lot of moisture.

it does not mean it's dry, and don't use Aussie.

>>6715614
that's because the expensive shampoo is getting off all the crap and silicone from the cheap stuff. it takes a solid month for your head to readjust but it's worth it if you ever want to bleach your hair or anything more serious than the same color every month or so.

i mean, realistically, it doesn't matter what you do or what you use. very few people will have horror stories- but they can happen and prevention is the best medicine.
like chemical cuts are not just from what brand of hair color or lightener or perm or whatever you use- but what's in your hair. and those cheap shampoos will build you up on silicone and that shit is nasty
like again, that girl who was doing the hair curling tutorial. it was from the cheap product melting, not her hair melting.

>>6715615
lol
i remember this from when i was like- 11. i hated it.

>>6715620
i have never used it, but i have never heard anything good about any two in one products except for convince.
if you color your hair (or do anything chemical) at all though i don't recommend it.

>>6715635
Dove is awful. so much silicone
the reason your hair feels good is because it's literally being encased in silicone, and dying inside of that coating.

if you HAVE to go drug store, and i understand that i do, just go through the ingredients and avoid anything with any word ending in "cone".

>>6715635
oh, and a silicone is literally the 3rd chemical in this. which means it's the 3rd highest content.

Water (Aqua) , Cetearyl Alcohol , Dimethicone , Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine , Behentrimonium Chloride , Fragrance (Parfum) , Dipropylene Glycol , Lactic Acid , Amodimethicone , Potassium Chloride , Disodium EDTA , DMDM Hydantoin , PEG 8 , Propylheptyl Ether , Cetrimonium Chloride , Methylchloroisothiazolinone , Methylisothiazolinone , Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140) , Yellow 6 Aluminum Lake (CI 15985)

>Dimethicone
>Amodimethicone

if a word ending in "cone" is like, the second to last ingredient, it's not as big of a deal. but omg the third one.
so bad

I have a fucking shit load of split ends and it seems impossible to avoid.
I used to dye my hair loads and whilst it was never crispy fried, I did have a fair amount of splits. Now I've gone natural and have stopped dying my hair and they're still there. I mean, I don't expect them to go away but what I mean is that my hair snaps so fucking easily. I can't even pull a hair tie without taking at least 2-4 massive strands of hair with it.

What do? My crown looks like a pineapple :(

>>6715768
>but it's worth it if you ever want to bleach your hair or anything more serious than the same color every month or so.

I don't dye my hair anymore. It's been at least a year since I last did.

To avoid making another thread:

Hey, black seagulls, do you have any advice or product recommendations for someone trying to grow out their hair? I'm starting to get a little tired of this length, but.

>>6715931

Science has always dictated that there is absolutely nothing you go do to make your hair grow faster, and you really just have to leave it at that because anything you DO try will only be a placebo.

However, I've used Monistat and Daktarin myself for growth and experienced good results. Try Googling it.

>>6715893
cut them off. you can't get rid of them once they're there.

>>6715934

You didn't really answer my question at all.

>>6715402
I love this brand. So far it's one of the only brands that has made my horribly poofy hair soft and manageable. Doesn't hurt that the fragrance lasts all day.

>>6715937
Trim them. Use a soft hairtie like a fabric scrunchie. Don't brush when wet, only use a wide-tooth comb. Be more careful when taking out hairtie

I use L'Oréal Paris Elvive Total Repair <5 Instant Miracle stuff for my conditioner, and I love it. It makes my (wavy) hair feel so soft and lovely, and helps me get rid of tangles. Are there any downsides to it..?

>>6715933
I do remember hearing that; I'll have to grab some with the groceries tomorrow, thank you!

Do you have any general shampoo/conditioner recommendations you don't mind sharing?

>>6716005
Things that are silicone (dimethicone)-free

Ah A hair thread, perfect.
I have sorta short wavy hair (more wavy near the ends), sorta dry really bad frizz going on. If I grow it out the wavy usually starts around my chin, right now anyway I been using Aussie Smooth for Shampoo and Moist for conditioner (when I bought my big bottles with the pump the store was out of Moist Shampoo so I bought the smooth) and its been like 6 months with the same big bottles.
I started to notice my head starts to Itch really badly if I use the same brand shampoo and conditioner for too long, even if I change types through out the time I was using it. (before someone asks no I don't have lice, I'm checked regularly)
This has happened with multiple brands over the last few years. Does anyone else experiences this? No one else in my family has this problem.
Can anyone recommend what I can use next?
I have used Tresemme, Pantine, VO5, White Rain, Nexxus, Ossart, Mane and Tail, and Head & Shoulders (this really makes my head itch)
Pic related, Its a crappy shot of my hair for reference proposes

>>6716071
Your hair looks like it's been stripped, colored, stripped and recolored multiple times in its lifetime. Confirm/deny?

If confirm, first you stop coloring your hair. Regardless of coloring status, consider a shortgr hairstyle. It looks reasonably healthy until it gets to the mid-cheek level, then it goes frizzy and gross. Clearly that's the stopping point of where your hair retains some manner of health.

>>6716071
I used to use Mane and Tail and it made my hair so incredibly dry that it started to frizz and look damaged all over. It took me about 1 or 2 months with a good shampoo to get my hair back to normal again. You might also want to try a bio silk oil for your hair.

>Wash hair every morning with shampoo, sometimes conditioner
>People always think my hair is a wig
God I love having hair this SILKY AND SMOOTH

>>6716088
I have bleached my hair once in my life time, that was in 2006 (worse idea ever) I also had major surgery in 2005 and my health has never really recovered since then either. I usually keep my hair short since it tangles really badly at about this length anyway. I plan on getting it cut on my net paycheck. The thing is I like it sorta long in the front and short in the back.

>>6716101
That's funny you say that, because I went through the same situation. Major organ surgery that caused my hair to thin out and actually bald in some places. It looks really bad at shoulder length. Cut it to chin length and it looks great now. It took some time for the hairloss to stop completely and for the patchy spots to grow back in, but I'm SO glad I got the shorter cut. I think you will be much happier once it's done. Consider chin length layers in the front, flat-ironed, with a progressively shorter taper going to the back of your head.

>>6716102
I don't like flat ironing it, even at low settings it smells like its burning even when I use CHI or Bio Silk. Lately since the front is long i been throwing it up in a funny ponytail to keep out of my face or wear those soft jelly headbands.

>>6716099
If you're just talking about normal people on the street, that might not be a compliment. Most people don't know wigs exist outside costume shops.

Bought this the other day because I got a Brazilian blowout and needed non-saline Shampoos/Conditioners.

It's pretty decent so far, can't really tell the difference between it and other shampoos I've used. I'd say buy it if you want an alternative without salt and silicone, it's decently priced as well. $6.99 per bottle, in the average sizes.

>>6715426
Tresemme is terrible if you straighten your hair, it's full of silicone which melts as soon as you apply heat to it. The reason your hair is shiny is because it's now melted plastic.

>>6715779
diff anon, but it must be really bad, since it makes my hair flawless

>>6715779
>if a word ending in "cone" is like, the second to last ingredient, it's not as big of a deal. but omg the third one.
You sound so stupid right now. So so stupid.

>>6716620
Why? Anon is right. Or dud they use too many likes and omgs for you?
