Bottom Half of Hair Extremely Dry! Help!

[pakieyez]

Hey guys, my hair is long, I keep it healthy, trim it every 2 months, I take care of it really well. However the top half of my hair is fine, but the bottom half is so dry, I always find split ends, and my comb gets stuck when it gets to the bottom half of my hair indicating it’s dry/damaged.

I have tried everything..I put coconut/almond oil in my hair, hair masks, tried cutting more of my hair off in the bottom, but the same thing, once the hair gets a bit longer, the bottom half seems to get dry…this is the reason why my hair doesn’t grow after a certain point of length.

Anyone have any solutions for combatting this? Any products that are extremely well for hydration that will get rid of the dryness?

thanks!

Apply olive oil at the ends and wrap them in a wet steamy hot towel for 15-20 mins. It ll lock up some moisture in there and they ll appear softer

sounds like you are getting split ends like I do.
there is an absolute length at which my hair appears healthy and strong. if I push it to grow beyond this length, it looks dry and damaged near the ends no matter what I do.
I've tried conditioning and applying all sorts of oils and creams but these are only temporary fixes.....

I am trying to grow my hair out right now and mine is the same way...but this time I am determined!

What I use is Redken's Anti-snap. Its a styling product but really does help in helping your ends appear less dry and more healthy.

Applying a tiny bit to your ends is all you need. If you buy the travel size which is $4 it lasts quite a while.

Have you tried looking at your nutritional intake specifically trace minerals? Nails & Hair is an indication of your internal health. I would guess you have a deficiency of trace minerals. Try some supplements specifically designed for strong & healthy hair and nails. Try your local health food stores and take those supplements regularly for 6-8 weeks and see if there is a difference.

Putting oil in your hair just makes one over-shampoo in the struggle to wash it out thereby drying it out more.

Do you colour your hair? Dying hair can also make your hair very dry.

Kerastase mask is probably the best thing out there right now. During shower after shampoo, put it on and leave in for 5 min. If you steam it, it absorbs better and of course the longer you leave it the better it is. Not to mention it makes your hair smell super nice. It’s 60+ but lasts quite a few washes and totally worth it. No damage or residue. I sound like a commercial bit trust me. Hair Masque - Professional Hair Mask Products by Kerastase
