I tend to have frizzy hair or hair breakage and it bothers me 😭😭😭

Hmm 🤔

Maybe try:

-Using satin pillow covers

-Don't brushing your hair while wet

-Always detangle your hair from the ends, instead of starting from the roots.

-Use an infusion of rosemary and garlic. (boil it and apply it twice a week)

-Use paraben and sulfate free products.

(H&Shoulders, pantene, dove, those brands? Stay out of them. They're full of salt, sulfates and silicones)

-Don't use a tight ponytail or bun, it pulls at your roots weakening the follicles.

-Take vitamins like Biotin

-Wash your hair thrice a week. (Washing it every day only weakens it even more and dries it)

-Use the shampoo in your SCALP only. (Shampoo dries the ends) and the conditioner from your middle to ends

-Trim the ends every 3 months

-Sleep properly (high level of stress makes breakage even more prominent and hair to fall down)

Hope that helps!

nurturing my natural self (part 4)

Disclaimer: I made this, like all my other posts, for myself, but if you are reading this, I'm not a doctor, and this is basic researched knowledge. If you realize that you need help, please seek a doctor!

Allowing Your Hair to Recover

Nurturing your hair is just as important. This allows your natural hair to breathe and thrive. While protective styles like braids, wigs, and weaves can be great, they can also harm your hair if you don't give it a break. It's crucial to find a routine and products that work for your hair type and porosity.

I want to grow my hair out so I can wear it more often, but I’ve struggled to find styles that suit my current length after chopping off my dead ends. Cutting those damaged ends felt like a weight lifted off my chest! I’m investing in my hair care and currently have a protective style in, but I’ll switch back to my natural hair once it’s out.

I’ve found more styling ideas on TikTok, which helps since it can be tough to find looks for my length. My hair is a bit longer than the TWA (teeny weeny afro) stage and is growing well. The health of my hair is very important, and I plan to continue adding to my routine.

- Nutrients: Protein: Essential for hair structure (lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes). Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Support scalp health (fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseeds). Vitamin A: Promotes sebum production for a healthy scalp (carrots, sweet potatoes). Vitamin C: Supports collagen production and iron absorption (citrus fruits, berries). Biotin: A B-vitamin crucial for hair growth (eggs, nuts, avocados). Vitamin E: Improves blood circulation to the scalp (nuts, seeds, leafy greens).

- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your hair and scalp hydrated.

- Scalp care: Cleansing, exfoliation & massage: using a gentle shampoo, keep your scalp clean to prevent build-up, which can hinder growth. occasionally exfoliate your scalp to remove dead skin cells and promote circulation (started using aztec clay, 10/10 so far, loving it). massage your scalp to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth.

- Moisturizing Oils: jojoba, argan, grapeseed & avocado oil. These help hydrate hair by adding moisture and nutrients. Apply these oils to damp hair to hydrate it, either as part of a deep conditioning treatment or after washing.

- Moisture-Sealing Oils: castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado (serves as both) & shea butter. These create a barrier to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration. Use these after applying a moisturizing oil or treatment to lock in the hydration, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of the hair. I don't use these much if at all unless I'm focusing on the ends of my hair because of my scalp condition.

- Heat Management: If you’re using heat, always protect your hair. Heat protectants are a must to prevent damage from styling tools. Try to minimize heat use overall or stick to low-heat settings.

- Detangling: a major part of healthy hair care. Always use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers (if using both, then use your fingers first), and make sure your hair is wet with conditioner to prevent breakage.

- Seasonal Hair Care: your hair’s needs can change with the seasons. In the winter, it might need more moisture, while summer humidity might require lighter products.

- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Choose sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid stripping natural oils. reduce or avoid harsh chemical treatments (e.g., relaxers, dyes) that can weaken hair.

- Protective styling: using low-manipulation styles to protect your ends (braids, twists) can help prevent breakage. styles that are too tight can lead to traction alopecia.

- Hair care ingredients: it's important to find what works for you. what works for kayla may not work for kiara, yk? for example, i've read and heard about others who benefitted from Coconut oil, shea butter, castor oil, jojoba oil, rosemary oil, and mint oil are examples of hair care ingredients known for their nourishing, moisturizing, and growth-stimulating properties. While not all of these oils are beneficial for managing my seborrheic dermatitis, certain ones, like jojoba oil and rosemary oil, have been especially helpful in controlling flare-ups.

- Routine: Find a fitting routine for your type and porosity. A general one is: shampoo + condition + rinse + leave in + style OR shampoo + deep condition + rinse + leave in + style . People include pre-poo (pre-shampoo) to detangle, some people even condition their hair before deep conditioning. this can actually cause your deep conditioner to be less effective. my current routine to which pre-pooing will be added: detangle with water + shampoo/aztec clay mask w acv + deep condition + rinse + leave-in conditioner + blow-dry on low heat. this is to prep my hair for like braids or something but if i was doing a wash n go, i wouldn't bow dry, i'd style with either a curl custard and gel or a hair butter (to lock int he moisture) + gel since i already used leave-in.

- Trims, Patience, and Stress Management: Regular trims are necessary to keep split ends at bay. Managing stress and getting enough sleep can make a huge difference in your hair’s health. And remember, patience is key—healthy hair growth takes time!

Some ingredients to beware of:

- Sulfates (e.g. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): Strips natural oils, causing dryness.

- Parabens (e.g. Methylparaben): Preservatives that may disrupt hormones.

- Silicones (e.g. Dimethicone): Can build up on hair, leading to dullness.

- Alcohols (e.g. Isopropyl alcohol): Drying effects on hair.

- Formaldehyde (e.g. DMDM Hydantoin): Can cause irritation and allergic reactions.

- Artificial Fragrances: Can irritate sensitive skin and cause allergic reactions.

- Harsh Detanglers (e.g., Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cetrimonium Chloride): Can strip moisture and cause buildup.

Hair Care Essentials

- clarifying shampoo (deeply cleanses to remove buildup, excess oil, and impurities. Ideal for occasional use to refresh hair but can strip natural oils with frequent use.)

- hydrating shampoo (gentle cleansers that don’t strip natural oils; look for hydrating formulas.)

- co-wash (cleansing conditioner that helps remove dirt while maintaining moisture, suitable for regular use. i.e. when you wanna wash your hair but it's too soon use shampoo bc you don't wanna dry it out)

- conditioner (moisturize and detangle hair after shampooing.)

- blow dryer (better than air drying, esp useful for when you're doing styles that require dry hair)

- spray bottle (refresh, dampen, moisturize)

- plastic cap (to hold your hair when you put hair masks on)

- leave in conditioner (retain moisture and detangle hair.)

- deep conditioner/hair mask (Used weekly or bi-weekly to provide intense moisture and repair. choose one best suited to your hai-- what your hair needs the most in the moment)

- hydrating creams & oils (shea butter, coconut oil, or argan oil to nourish and moisturize.)

- natural oils: coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, or castor oil can help seal in moisture, add shine, and promote hair growth.

- essential oils: tea tree oil, lavender oil, and peppermint oil can help with scalp health and stimulation.

- curl creams or gels: defining curls, providing hold, and reducing frizz.

- edge control & brush sleek edges and maintaining hairstyles.

- hair mousse: volume and lightweight hold.

- wide-tooth comb: for detangling without causing breakage & combing out.

- detangling brush: for detangling (denman, unbrush etc)

- fine-tooth comb: sectioning and parting hair

- satin or silk scarves/bonnets/pillowcases: protect hair from friction while sleeping, reducing frizz and breakage.

- hair clips and bands: sectioning hair during styling and care routines.

- heat protectant spray or cream: if you use heat styling tools (like flat irons or blow dryers) to protect your hair from damage.

- trimming tools: scissors handy for regular trims to remove split ends and encourage healthy growth.

- scalp massager: promote blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.

- scalp Treatments: tea tree oil for dandruff or other scalp concerns.

EYES HERE. LOOK AT ME.

You have to read this. You have to read this.

I'm copying my comments from this series because I don't think I can verbally express all that I want to. I might break it down piece by piece someday. Today is not that day.

For @madsmilfelsen

The non-linear narrative is something I can't wrap my head around writing myself, probably because I don't know what the fuck I'm writing until I'm 50k deep. The subtlety with which you build out the characters, the relationship, the fucking narrativeeeee. As a writer, I think the best thing I can say here is: that it is really easy to fall into the trap of not trusting your readers to be smart enough to understand what you're trying to communicate without spelling it out. But the most engaging, immersive writing is this. Something that makes us feel like we're unraveling a person's life. The way you write is so incredibly clever. It inspired me FIRSTLY to get back on Tumblr, to get into the TD fandom, and to fucking WRITE. I sent this fic to a friend and said verbatim "I have GOT to get better at writing."

So, yeah, Sugar is a fucking genius character. She's so intriguing and REAL. Your characterization of 2012 Rust is so interesting. It fills in the gaps and questions I had about who he would have been after he truly lost everything. Lost his interest in walking the line and just became... a machine. Something set on a path he can do nothing but keep trudging through. And GOD the pain I felt knowing he was alone all that time, doubling down on his coping mechanisms- this healed something for me, imagining that he could find someone that's just enough of a tether to keep him on earth.

The character building in such a limited (as in, not 100k of rambling to get to the point, i.e., what I do) form is so amazing to me. Granted, I want to see Rust and Sugar in the grocery store. I wanna see him tell her to put back a pack of snacks, or a biotin conditioner she's trying to get him to buy because his hair is looking dry. If you EVER wanted to write some one-off slice of life bullshit, I would eat it up like Sunday dinner.

That being said, the brief interactions that demonstrate their relationship are so fucking effective in giving me an idea of how they fit together, while making me soooo hungry for more.

I also want to commend you on the smut aspects. I personally struggle with writing it, as I'm used to the drawn out and kind of mechanical/patterned type. A few sentences depicting the sexual relationship in this story are hotter than anything I've ever read. I'm eating it with a spoon and a fork and I'm savoring and I'm licking the plate. I love your writing.

Buddy, this series is truly wonderful, and if you get nothing else from it, know that you inspired me.

Do you have any hair care tips for long healthy hair? Is a lot of it down to diet?

I think it really comes down to being super super gentle with your hair. Here are a few things that will help keep your hair healthy when it’s long:

- Avoid heat styling your hair. If you have to do it, use a heat protectant beforehand and keep the temperature as low as possible. If you can stand it, avoid washing your hair in super hot water (this is one I refuse to do).

- Avoid washing your hair too frequently. Use dry shampoo between washes to keep your hair looking fresh longer.

- When you do wash your hair, keep the shampoo only on the scalp and let the lather rinse over the rest of the hair.

- Use a wide-tooth comb or a boar bristle brush on dry hair when you need to brush it. Try not to brush your hair when it’s wet.

- Instead of blow drying or towel drying your hair, use a hair towel turban or a t-shirt to dry it more gently. Blot or scrunch the moisture out of the hair instead of rubbing it.

- Use hydrating products, like a deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, or hair oil on a regular basis.

- If you put your hair up, go for a silk scrunchie or plastic coil instead of a regular hair tie to reduce friction.

- Put your hair in a loose ponytail, braid, or bun for sleep, and u se a silk or satin pillowcase. This will help prevent breakage from friction as you toss and turn at night.

- Get regular trims if you can. This will prevent split ends and keep your hair healthier in the long run.

Diet actually isn’t a huge part of hair growth, although if you have a poor diet, you may see that reflected in your hair. For example, deficiencies in vitamin B12, vitamin D, biotin, riboflavin, and iron are associated with hair loss. But if you already eat a balanced diet, changing it is unlikely to make your hair look healthier or grow longer.

Black Hair Care myths BUSTED!

Since I’m fighting off the plague and have nothing else better to do but lay here pitifully, I’ve decided to talk about hair again after my last two posts on shampoo types and curly hair care , only this time focusing on Black folks’ hair and the misinformation lots of us grew up on.

Now, because I know the gowrls like to tussle (and Mercury in Microbraids along with an eclipse is upon us), lemme just say this: if you’re absolutely happy with your hair care routine, then this post isn’t for you.

This post is only for people who are curious and want to evolve and simplify their hair care routines.

OKAY LEGGO:

The hair typing chart is garbage.

Everyone and they mama should be familiar with this chart. So many of us use it to determine what type of hair products to buy that work best for our hair type.

Unfortunately, the chart is pseudo-science.

All hair types need the same basic care (shampooing/conditioning at least every week), and products that claim to cater to a specific hair type is just a marketing tactic. This chart also promotes texturism; Oprah’s stylist literally made up the type 4 category to say that the only thing to do to tight curls is to straighten or loosen them. 🥲

Products can’t give you the kind of curls you want.

I touched on this a bit in my first hair post, but it bears repeating here: Curl “activators”, Shea butter, raw oil blends, creams, leave-in conditioners, texturizing shampoos… all of them are finessing you, beloveds. If your hair isn’t holding defined clumps of curls immediately after shampooing, then your hair is likely chronically dehydrated and needs to be detoxed.

We’re kinda raised to product chase because we’re told that the way our hair grows out of our heads is bad and needs to be fixed, and the $2.5 billion Black hair care industry is always eager to offer us placebos for our coin. We see someone with the hair texture and length we want and we immediately ask “what products do you use??” as if the answer is in a bottle when it’s really just genetics. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Greasing/oiling your scalp does not moisturize it, get rid of dandruff, or make your hair grow faster.

As a kid I remember my hairdresser using a fine toothed comb and “breaking up” the dandruff on my scalp before applying Sea Breeze to soothe it. Every single time, the dandruff came back worse. 😩 If I put oil on my scalp, it would take only a day before build up and large yellow flakes would rain out of my hair. But I thought because my scalp and my hair needed moisturizing that I couldn’t go without oils.

Well, I was right on one thing; my scalp and hair def needed moisture. But I wasn’t gonna get moisture from anything but water, and at the time I was avoiding water like the plague because I always had a fresh silk press or perm and I didn’t want my hair “reverting”.

If you have a scalp condition or chronic itchiness, you are very much making it worse by adding any of that to your head. The only solution is to wash your hair, loves. Yes, you may have to choose between looking “laid” and what’s actually good for your hair and scalp, but them’s the breaks.

The hair growth oils that line the shelves at Sally’s? Literally snake oil. Same goes for hair vitamins, biotin, MSM, rice water, JBCO, egg white/tea rinse/fruit or food products, African Black soap, rose water, etc. Nothing topical, save for specific medicated prescription drugs from a dermatologist, can make hair grow. Save ya money, hunny!

Co-washing and water-only washing doesn’t get your hair clean.

Conditioner is incapable of doing what shampoo does. You’re just gonna add layers of build up on your hair doing co-washes. Water-only cleansing is like never using soap in your laundry and expecting your clothes to be clean. 😬 Only putting shampoo on your scalp and carefully avoiding the length of your hair is the equivalent of white folks not washing their legs in the shower. Don’t do any of this.

I actually do not know where the myth started that Black folks hair is somehow too fragile to handle shampoo, a thing that is specifically formulated for hair. 😅 If shampoo is drying your hair out, you need to make sure you’re using the right kind of shampoo, not ditching shampoo altogether. If you need help, I touched on shampoo basics here!

Using a spray bottle to “refresh” your hair doesn’t do what you think it’s doing.

Tiny water droplets from a spray bottle only sit on the surface of your hair, even more so if your hair already has product in it. If your styles aren’t holding until your next wash, you may need to re-examine what you’re using, how you apply it, and how you set it. If you need to refresh a style or get moisture, nothing less than washing your hair will do.

Finger detangling or using a wide toothed comb or denman brush isn’t doing the job.

I know we’ve been raised to think that because our hair is tightly coiled, that we have to treat it with kid gloves. But we actually do more harm to our hair by not detangling correctly. Detangling is the act of getting shed hair out from your head so it doesn’t wrap up in your healthy hair and cause breakage. A wide toothed comb can’t do that, and neither can your fingers. A denman brush is ONLY supposed to be used to hold tension in the hair when blowdrying it straight. What you want is a Felicia Leatherwood brush and to use that bad boy in the shower right after putting conditioner on sopping wet hair, trust me.

Protective styles don’t exist.

Buns, braids, wigs… all of them look fantastic when done right and it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t wear them. But they are all just alternative styles; nothing is being protected. I know a lot of us love the low maintenance that having these styles provide, but I want us to examine why they are thought of as low maintenance: it’s because folks are less likely to wash their hair/detangle while having them.

Any style that discourages you from weekly hair washing cannot be protective. It instead promotes hair neglect. Yes, I know, it can cost thousands of dollars for those waist length box braids or sew in, but you paid for the labor that goes into those kinds of styles, not the ability to keep them in for as long as possible. Not touching your hair for weeks on end means you’ll have dehydrated hair with mad buildup to get rid of. And btw, that type of damage to the hair cannot be fixed in just one visit to the salon. For as many weeks as you go without washing your hair, you need that many weeks out of an alternative style with frequent washing to help it recover.

Dry hair is determined by its behavior, not how it feels.

This one has a lot of folks tripped out because logically, we should be able to just touch our strands and know that it needs moisture. Unfortunately, so many of us don’t know what our actual hair feels like without it being slathered in products, so the moment that we stop using them we think our hair is “dry” when it’s really just how our natural hair texture may feel. It’s def not easy in the beginning to let go of the familiarity a nicely oiled head of hair presents. 🥲

So, how do you know if you have dry hair? If it can’t hold a curl pattern without manipulation, is hydrophobic (if water doesn’t completely flatten hair to your scalp when you wash it, it’s not absorbing), is extremely difficult to detangle, breaks off easily, etc.

You don’t need to rinse your hair in cold water.

Only reason you should even consider it is if you have vivid color in your hair, but… lemme tell y’all sumn.

Years ago when I started dyeing my hair, it was typical for a permanent black hair dye to act like a semi-perm and wash almost completely out or turn grey in a few weeks. Now that I have a much better hair regimen that keeps my hair in the best health it can be, my semi-permanent fashion colors last for months until I decide to touch it up again. And I absolutely do not relish being cold in the shower, so I just use hot water.

The health of your hair matters more than any gimmicks or products you can use to fix a problem.

Long hair/shiny hair is not an indicator of health, it is an indicator of genetics.

I want DESPERATELY for us as a people to break the shackles of thinking that the only hair that matters is long and thick, or that someone who has long hair is an automatic authority on hair care.

If you want an idea of how long your hair can get, then look to your family. If your mom or dad don’t have hair touching their waist then it’s highly possible you were not blessed with the DNA to get your hair waist length either. And that’s okay! You aren’t any less valid. It will just save you a LOT of heartache to learn to embrace your hair the way it naturally is rather than to run around buying products and chasing haircare trends in hopes that a miracle will happen. Not to mention, I’ve seen a lot of folks with long hair but they ain’t had a trim in years and it absolutely shows. 😬

A lot of folks do not have shiny hair, that is once again due to genetics not hair health. Matte hair has a different surface texture and that’s absolutely fine! Only manufactured beauty standards glorify long and shiny hair.

Speaking of hair length…

Shrinkage is not your enemy.

A general rule is that the only hair length that matters is how you regularly wear it.

My hair stays comfortably at the nape of my neck now that I wear my curls 100% of the time. If I pull it taut, then it’ll reach mid-back. But I don’t plan on straightening my hair ever again to show that mid-back length, so… 🤷🏽‍♀️ I have short hair because that is how it lays without manipulation. And that’s fine.

Shrinkage doesn’t scare me because it’s what healthy curly hair DOES. If my hair springs like a coil and retains shape, then I’m doing something right! I have always wanted long hair, I won’t deny that. But if I have to stretch my natural hair in any way in order to GET that long hair, it’s not worth it to me. I’ll just wear a wig for a hot min if I wanna whip my hair back and forth.

Air drying your hair isn’t better than diffusing it with a hair dryer.

Another thing we’ve been told is that heat damages our hair and that air drying is best. That’s not necessarily true.

DIRECT heat can damage your hair (flat irons, blow outs, pressing combs). INDIRECT heat (hooded dryers, a diffuser attachment on a handheld dryer) does not. In fact, diffused heat sets your wash and gos/twist outs way better than air drying. It cuts down on frizz and ensures your style will last through the week.

Also, it’s better to dry your hair completely rather than wait hours for it to air dry and then maybe sleep on wet hair. Fun fact: Leaving your hair wet for too long can cause mold to grow in your hair! 😱 And if you lay a wet head on a pillow, the bacteria transfers to your pillowcase and you continue to sleep in that until you wash the pillow!

You can’t “lock moisture in” your hair.

Water evaporates. It’s what it’s gonna do. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Putting leave ins or oils on your hair in hopes that water stays in your strands longer isn’t a thing, despite what a lot of us have been told. The only thing you’re gonna be left with is greasy, dehydrated hair if you don’t wash it weekly.

Avoiding getting a hair cut will not grant you healthy or long hair.

Hair grows an average of half an inch per month, regardless of race. The belief that “Black hair doesn’t grow” is rooted in anti-Blackness. 😅 If you’re not seeing growth, then it’s most likely that your hair is simply breaking off faster than the rate of growth, or you have an underlying health issue that needs to be addressed by a doctor.

I know I used to hate hairdressers who seemed “scissor happy” because I was always chasing length, so I would often only tell them to “dust” the ends if they do anything. Now, I will grab my clippers and cut inches off my hair in a heartbeat if my hair starts looking raggedy. Clinging on to scraggly hair because it takes “so long to grow” doesn’t do you any favors, trust me. 😭 Take better care of your hair and you will retain length a lot easier, and that includes getting quarterly haircuts.

Porosity does not matter.

How many of us did this whole “put a strand of hair in a cup of water and see if it floats or sinks”? Well, what if I told you that it means absolutely nothing for everyday hair care? 😭 Porosity isn’t even a static state, so many things can change it on a dime!

The only time porosity matters is if you are getting a color service and that is only for your stylist to determine. And you will never see a stylist worth their salt putting your hair in a cup of water to figure it out. Also, a lot of “low” porosity hair is just product build up.

Using home remedies to address hair loss concerns doesn’t work.

No, it doesn’t matter that your grandma did black tea rinses regularly to stop her hair from shedding. It doesn’t matter what women in India do with their hair, either. This may be a hard pill to swallow, but it’s perfectly okay to evolve past things that aren’t truly helpful even if it’s a Black culture staple.

Please don’t be afraid to go to a dermatologist. 🥺 There’s even a Black Dermatologist Directory to reference if you don’t wanna go to just anybody. Yeah, it may seem pricey, but Dermatologists have the training to cut through the guesswork, pinpoint what the problem is and save you a LOT of time and pain. You don’t wanna fuck around and make your hair loss WORSE by doing psuedo-chemistry in your kitchen.

“Do what works for you” doesn’t have the mileage you think it does.

When people don’t want to hear that their current hair practices aren’t really helping them, they default to “Well, it works for ME!” or “Everyone’s hair is different!”

Nobody’s hair is so different that it doesn’t need a weekly wash with shampoo. Nobody’s hair is the magical unicorn that grew 4 inches in a month because they used JBCO. Your hair is not “built different”, and believing that it is will lead you to spending money on things you don’t need. Doing what works for you only comes after you have nailed the basics of healthy hair care, and it only varies in like… if you prefer to use styling foam to set your wash n go as opposed to gel. Or using one brand’s shampoo over another. Not “my hair likes butters and oils and staying in protective styles for months on end and is doing just fine, and you telling me otherwise is anti-Black”.

If you have unexamined hatred of your natural hair texture, then nothing in this long-ass post will hit for you. If a large part of your identity as a Black person is rooted in product chasing, protective styles and taking an entire business day to wash your hair, then a lot of this will offend you. I’m really sorry for that, and I am not here to argue with anybody. I’ll just tell you “if you like it, I love it” and go on about my business.

For everyone else, I really hope this post helps to shed some light on hair care and set you on a better journey that gives you more time and more confidence in your styles! 🥹

The Best Keratin Hair Conditioner: Your Key to Healthy Locks

In today’s world, hair damage is an all-too-common issue. Whether it’s caused by environmental stress, heat styling, or chemical treatments, our hair often ends up looking dull, dry, and frizzy. For those looking to restore their hair’s health, shine, and strength, a keratin-based conditioner can be a game-changer. This article explores everything you need to know about the best keratin hair conditioner, its benefits, and how to choose the best conditioner for damaged hair .

Understanding Keratin and Its Role in Hair Care

Keratin is a natural protein found in our hair, nails, and skin. It is responsible for maintaining the strength, elasticity, and structure of your hair. However, over time, keratin in the hair can become depleted due to factors like pollution, UV exposure, heat styling, and chemical treatments like coloring or perming. When this happens, the hair becomes prone to damage, frizz, and breakage.

Keratin conditioners contain hydrolyzed keratin, which helps replenish the lost protein in your hair, repairing damage, restoring shine, and improving overall hair health.

Why You Need a Keratin Conditioner for Damaged Hair

If your hair has seen better days and is showing signs of damage such as split ends, rough texture, or frizziness, you should consider switching to a conditioner for damaged hair. Keratin-infused conditioners are specifically designed to repair and protect your hair by forming a protective layer around each strand.

Key Benefits of a Keratin Conditioner for Damaged Hair:

Repairs Hair Damage: Keratin penetrates the hair shaft, repairing damage caused by heat, chemicals, and other stressors.

Reduces Frizz: By sealing the hair cuticle, keratin conditioners prevent moisture from causing frizz, leaving your hair smoother and shinier.

Increases Elasticity: Keratin strengthens your hair, reducing the likelihood of breakage and split ends.

Improves Shine: A keratin conditioner smooths the outer layer of your hair, enhancing its natural shine.

For those with severely damaged hair, the best keratin hair conditioner can help bring your locks back to life, providing long-term improvement in hair texture and health with consistent use.

How to Choose the Best Keratin Hair Conditioner

When selecting the best keratin hair conditioner, it’s important to look for a product that meets your specific hair needs. The ingredients in the conditioner should provide the right balance of moisture, protein, and protection are:

1. Hydrolyzed Keratin

Hydrolyzed keratin is the most effective form of keratin as it is broken down into smaller molecules that can penetrate the hair shaft easily. This helps rebuild damaged hair from the inside out.

2. Moisturizing Ingredients

Look for hydrating ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter. These help lock in moisture and keep your hair soft and manageable.

3. Sulfate-Free Formula

Sulfates can strip your hair of natural oils, which is particularly harmful for damaged hair. Opt for a sulfate-free keratin conditioner to maintain your hair’s natural balance.

4. Vitamins and Amino Acids

Additional ingredients like Vitamin E, biotin, and amino acids can provide extra nourishment, boosting the health of your hair and making it more resistant to damage.

For those with color-treated hair, it’s important to choose a conditioner that not only smooths but also protects your color. L'Oréal EverSleek’s sulfate-free formula is enriched with keratin and designed to prolong the vibrancy of your color while repairing damage from dyeing.

Best Conditioner for Curly Hair in India: What Makes It Special?

Curly hair tends to be drier and more prone to frizz than straight or wavy hair, making it essential to find a keratin conditioner that not only smooths but also deeply hydrates. The best conditioner for curly hair in India needs to address specific concerns like moisture retention, curl definition, and frizz control.

Many of the best keratin hair conditioners for curly hair in India contain a blend of keratin proteins, moisturizing oils (like argan or coconut oil), and ingredients like shea butter to provide deep hydration without weighing down curls. They work by sealing the cuticle, which helps lock in moisture and enhances the natural shape of your curls.

How to Use a Keratin Conditioner for Maximum Results

To get the most out of your keratin conditioner, follow these steps:

Start with a Keratin Shampoo: Using a keratin-based shampoo before conditioning helps remove buildup and prepares your hair to absorb the benefits of the conditioner.

Apply Conditioner to Damp Hair: After washing, apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be sure to avoid the scalp, as this can lead to excess oil buildup.

Let It Sit: For optimal results, leave the conditioner in for 3–5 minutes to allow the keratin to penetrate deeply into your hair shaft.

Rinse with Cool Water: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water. This helps close the cuticle and locks in the moisture and keratin treatment.

Use Consistently: To maintain the benefits of keratin, use the conditioner 2–3 times per week, depending on your hair’s condition.

Conclusion: Why You Should Choose the Best Keratin Hair Conditioner

Whether your hair is damaged from heat styling, coloring, or environmental stressors, the best keratin hair conditioner can help repair and protect your strands. By replenishing the keratin that has been lost, these conditioners provide long-lasting smoothness, reduce frizz, and improve the overall strength and shine of your hair.

If you have curly hair, finding the best conditioner for curly hair in India can make a world of difference in keeping your curls defined, hydrated, and free from frizz. Similarly, for damaged hair, a keratin conditioner will work wonders in restoring your hair’s health and shine.

Incorporate a keratin-based conditioner into your hair care routine and enjoy the transformative effects of healthier, smoother, and more manageable locks

One of the more annoying parts of adulthood is having to map out which grocery stores have the specific thing you like. I’m out of my hair/nail vitamins and the ones I take have keratin as well as biotin and collagen and I can only get those at target because Publix and Walmart only have the gummies with biotin and if you’re lucky the biotin+collagen combo. Publix is the only place that has the Kefir I like because the one they have at Walmart tastes like feet and the one at target is like 7$ a bottle versus 4$ at Publix. Walmart is literally the only place here that has my shampoo and conditioner and if I want to order it online from somewhere else the price jumps up crazy high. Piggly Wiggly here has had a roach problem that’s lasted for months so I’m not even gonna try

Hi there! I just wanted to say your hair is sooo pretty!! The color is fantastic! What is your hair care routine? It looks so healthy! Do you use pomade or gel to keep it in that hairstyle? Thank you for reading, I hope your day is great today!

awww thank you so much!!!

i think my hair being healthy looking is a combo of care & good genetics. but here's what i'm doing:

i do not bleach/dye my hair excessively. like, once a month at most. that might seem obvious but i knew people in high school who did it every other week. i don't do that

i do not actually wash my hair regularly because it dries out if i do, i have a 'wash day.' so i'll do once a week, twice if i'm feeling kinda greasy.

after bleaching & the week following i have a hair masque i use, i've gone through a few repairing ones over the years but i look for ones with both repairing nutrients and biotin because i've been trying to grow my hair out for ages

occasionally i will apply rosemary oil, again for growth mainly.

i take biotin supplements for the same reason.

the only product i use in my hair is hairspray! got2b for the win. to style its just that & a blow dry. annnd for shampoo i use herbal essences rose hips, same with my conditioner altho i also have extreme magenta overtone for if my colour fades too much to my liking.
