Hair care in USA

Buy a shower filter from amazon. After using that my hair feels very soft and shiny. Oil your hair the night before shampooing (coconut oil) and use a completely herbal shampoo to wash your hair. Do not use dryer or iron till your hair fall is controlled.

 

Thanks for the shower filter tip. I will look into it.

 

oiling hair before a shampoo always helps

 

Jignasha, I feel for you. It is very confusing - I was lucky, my hairdresser came to my rescue. I hope I can help you as well. I mentioned this in another post just now. My hair did start to fall a little more after post op radiotherapy treatment and it lost shine and felt very "flat". My hairdresser recommended Pro Naturals Hair Repair System. I suggest you look at their website and read the Advice pages. For me I now follow their 4-step regime for one week in every six.

 

Hi OP,
Good news .. You re not the only one. All women coming from India complain. I think it is mainly chlorine water everywhere. Shower, pools. Also factors are growing age, processed foods, hormones and going through harsh weathers. After a decade in US, I am almost bald and mom keeps taunting me.

I would recommend,
wash less often, wear shower caps and swimming caps in pool, oil a lot.
Herbal Essence is supposed to be good ( and expensive too). Checking whole foods shampoos if something suits you.

 

I have used the Rosemary and Amla Hair oil, its expensive but they are all natural and little goes a long way. The lady who owns the store, has lots of youtube videos on hair care, skin care which useful using all natural ingredients. Lastly, they have a section where we can ask personalized skin care question and they respond back promptly.

 

I use Tresemme Thermal protective spray before flat ironing my hair.

It works fine. But, I have realized that no matter what you do, if you flat iron your hair every single day then it definitely gets damaged and looks lifeless. I have reduced the frequency of flat ironing to once every 4-5 days, mostly after shampooing and I must say that has helped. I also apply henna to cover grays and a side benefit of that been softer and smoother hair.

 

Yes, I first heard her on radio and that is how I came to know about her products. I have not tried her facial products though. But I like her tips and suggestions.
