Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend some REALLY good hair care stuff.
I have very dry fragile wavy hair that will never behave and even when I've tried products that made it feel really healthy, shiny and soft etc, it always still looks really unhealthy:(. In terms of "type" or texture, hairdressers always describe it as fine hair but I have lots of it.
After trying all the usual high street/supermaket suspects ( Aussie, Dove, Elvive etc) I splashed out on some Kerastase deep conditioner. It smelt divine and initially made my hair feel stronger, softer and generally more healthy but then I went to a different hairdresser and she said it's just full of silicone and won't help the condition in the long term, basically it just makes it feel nice but doesn't actually penetrate the hair shaft to repair it.
Anyway, sorry to have rambled on abit:D. Thanks in advance for any advice.

What I'm using at the moment is Aveda Dry Remedy, intense conditioner and Redken Butter treat. Both leave the hair very moisturised and soft.
Honestly, I've been using K-Pak for about 3 years now, and I think my hair looks better than it has ever done.
I've heard a lot about these, I want to try it badly, but I'm such a product junkie - I've got loooads of shampoos and conditioners (mainly conditioners) that I have to use up first.
Cones are not so bad for my hair personally, as long as I use a clarify shampoo I'm okay. I've cut out sulphates as much as I can in my shampoos too as these are so drying. I use either the Aveda Dry Remedy or a natural shampoo bar that I have.
I agree with what GetMeOuttaHere is saying about using your own stuff. I use a lot of oils (in my conditioners) which really help to condition and soften the hair. My staples are:-
Coconut oil
Organic Sapote oil
Meadowfoam Seed oil
Castor oil
Jojoba oil
Strawberry seed oil
Watermelon oil
I don't use them all at once, I just add a few drops of my prefered oil to my conditioner.
Mowrah butter and murumuru butter are natural and have wonderful conditioning properties for the hair - that's if your interested in experimenting in the natural route.

I don't know what price you're used to paying, but Joico might seem a bit expensive - about £12 each for the shampoo and conditioner. However, you honestly only need to use them sparingly. They last me for months and I wash my hair every morning.
I would never use anything else, particularly any high street nonsense like Pantene.
