How do i get my hair healthy?

I usually let my hair air dry after the shower. Its becomes curly, not locks or super curly but still curly. I stopped straightening it after i realized how damaged my hair was getting and decided that my hair looked good curly with some gel. I use Fructis hair gel. I got my hair trimmed and then on i didn't straighten it, some days i don't even do or put anything in it. My hair is still getting split end and i dont know why. My shampoo and conditioner i use is Aussie Moist.

    Most likely, your hair gel has alcohol in it, which is not good and dries out your hair. I would also make sure that you are eating plenty of protein (like chicken). You can also take a vitamin called Biotin, which helps with hair health. Try and do a deep conditioner once a week too. Frequent trims and staying away from heat styling products is the way to go. Also, try and use a wide toothed comb to comb your hair when possible. Anything else might cause breakage. Hope this helps :)

    follow these tips to repair it

    # Have patience.

    # Take time out to care for your hair.

    # Change your diet to improve the health of your hair and minimize hair breakage. Eat a diet that is high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Be sure you are getting enough essential fatty acids, also known as omega-3. Some good sources of omega-3 include salmon, herring, flax seed, walnuts, olive oil and lean meats, among others.

    # Take vitamin E and B supplements, or better yet, take a multi-vitamin every day. It may take awhile before you see improved results in your hair, but adding these vitamins to your diet works toward repairing hair breakage from the inside out.

    # Use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners every time you wash your hair. Avoid pulling or twisting your hair when washing or drying it.

    # the first home remedy is a hot oil treatment. This treatment is great for many things, however is perfect for hair breakage

    so try this...regular trims are a must, about every 7-9 weeks.(if your hair is really healthy then up the trims to about every 12 weeks, a trim is just a snip off the ends) if its been awhile since you have had a trim then inches may be called for to get to healthy hair. i use vitamin e on fresh washed hair.(its a vitamin that can be purchased where you buy vitamins, cut open capsule, squeeze into hand, rub hands together and apply to hair) dont message into scalp. if you get too much then just rewash it. hair will feel slightly sticky until dry then it will be nice and soft. it tames the frizzies, deep conditions and makes hair grow about three in a month. it takes about a month for the growth part of the e to kick in. the other benefits are instant. dont brush your hair but maybe once a week to message the scalp, i use a wide tooth comb at other times. brushing breaks off hair. i just started biotin vitamins going on four months ago this sat and notice and big growth spurt from that. biotin is cheap and also promotes hair regrowth and growth. i also have the biotin shampoo that i got from a vitamin store online.(puritans pride.com or vitadigest.com) five bucks for a big bottle and a big bottle of E is about 8 bucks. the biotin is about 3 bucks. i now take my fingers and message my scalp about five times a week, along with the brushing thats a good way to do it without damaging your hair. apply two or three capsules of e to dry hair and message into scalp and hair really well, put damp towel in microwave for 1 min to get hot, then quickly wrap head, a dry towel can be placed over that to help hold in the heat, leave on for 15 min, shampoo well, makes an excellent hot oil treatment. good luck, AND some people will argue about regular trims, your hair does grow from the roots, yes, but if your hair is not trimmed at the bottom, the it splits, get dry and brittle not to mention thin looking from no trims at all and frizzy. then your hair starts to break off at the bottom and giving you the appearance that it never grows. so to make hair grow as fast as possible and keep it healthy, then trims are an essential part of hair care. look on a ruler and check out less then half an inch and if your salon does not know what that is then take a ruler with you, i have. as of five weeks ago adding beta carotene vitamins to my regimen. i found out that along with the biotin it is very very good in promoting hair growth. they were five bucks for a bottle of 100. got them at walmart. the biotin and e can also be purchased at walmart, and adding all this up is pretty cheap to get great hair. i just wish the shampoo was available in the stores, but not yet.

    i straighten my hair every day of the week and it is still healthy, you just have to put the right products in it.

    go to a drugstore or whereever you buy hair products and get heat protectent spray. you can spray it on wet or dry hair and it works SOO well

    i use got2b but tresemee also works tooo

    also i use aveda glossing straightener cream gel stuff and it makes my hair super healthy, you just put that through your hair after a shower.

    i straighten my hair everyday and it sstill pretty healthy.
