I have been having such a hard time with my hair lately. I’ve tried the mayonnaise thing. I attempted the egg thing (I wasn’t sure whether to use the white or the yolk so I used both). I even tried a few products. The mayonnaise gave me amazing shine, but so far nothing has made it noticeably softer. Does anyone have any tips?

I’ve had this prob. too Castor oil is the best moisturiser! It’s super thick and really hydrates your hair, but washes out with a single shampooing and doesn’t leave behind greasies.
If you have very thick hair though, you might wanna dodge it, because it also accelerates growth and thickens hair. Olive oil and neem oil are great as well. My best advice though is to NEVER use shampoos which contain sulfates (sodium laurel or laureth sulfate, sulfonicate, etc. <<< a lot of so-called sulfate free shampoos still have sulfonicate in them, sneaky sneaky! always read labels). Sulfate = harsh detergent which you DON’T need to get your hair clean! This can cause severe dryness and split ends. They can also cause greasy scalps, as stripping the scalp of natural oil just causes it to go into overdrive and produce tons more oil to overcompensate! Anyway…. get a sulfate free shampoo, such as those made by Avalon Organics. And splurge when it comes to conditioners! I love Ojon. Lastly, heat styling is the devil, especially when it comes to ceramic irons since they get way hotter than metal ones. Use metal irons when possible, and use a lower heat setting. Or just avoid them whenever possible. posted over 4 years ago

Promise it’ll help! Let it work it’s magic for several hours, then wash out. Don’t sleep on it though, as it’ll get your pillows greasy. Just lounge around the house and have a ‘beauty day’ once every week or two : ).
I get mine at Indian grocy stores, but since it’s also sold as a laxative, most pharmacies will carry it alongside the ex lax, haha.

herbal essences!!! also those deep conditioning masks that they have at drugstores. but i think if you drink a lot of water it’ll ultimately smooth and soften out your hair! :)

use honey! after shampooing put in hair, rinse, then use a good conditioner. Hask & Placenta products work well too. A good trim might help fried ends

idk imma try the castor oil id recommend it ive heard people have had good results
honey sounds nourishing but WAY too sticky once i made a honey facial and some got in my hair and it stuck there for DAYS!!
try avocado !!!!! smash some and put it in your hair 10 to 20 minutes and voila!!!the best natural conditioner!!!

Definitely agree with the avocado suggestion!
Also, shikai conditioner has amla in it which is a fruit that has high amounts of vitamin C. I have to say, nothing has ever made my hair feel this soft and my hair is normally dry no matter what deep conditioner I use.

Try one of Lushs solid shampoos! I use Trichomania.
And maybe one of these conditioners:
-Ultraorganics clear henna wax
-Yes to Carrots (mud mask)
-Henna’n’Placenta
They are all pretty cheap.

Virgin coconut oil is a fantastic treatment for all hair style. You can get it in the health food section sometimes. It is cheap and last a while. Nothing beats it.
I recommend Morrocan oil as leave in to smooth out flyaways and ends. Finally, use silicone serum every now and then on wet hair after shampoo, and condition every single time you wash your hair.
Avalon organics shampoos are also my fave non sulfate shampoos, they are great and smell divine.
Do not forget to use a clarifying shampoo every week or every couple weeks, to get rid of product build up. This is a very important step. It helps you hair breathe and allows whatever conditioner/weekly hair treatment you put on afterwards to really work on your hair.
If you like heat styling, as I do, go for ionic tourmaline tools, folica has a great selection. They smooth out your hair while drying, and put some heat protectant spray before hand on wet hair.

Did you try oil treatment? I changed shampoos and my hair has been softer since. I use Nexxus now and it works for me :)
Oh and hair treatment once a week. I use the Sexy Hair brand?
