Totally NWR- for those who blow dry and/or flat iron

My hair is getting EXTREMELY damaged and I think it's from using products with wheat protein.

Can you ladies tell me what your hair care routine is when you blow dry and flat iron?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Jackie's poor damaged hair

I blow dry just about every day and honestly, I only use Garnier Fructis Leave In Condition. But that's on top of my normal shampoo and conditioner.

I know someone who just paid $400- for a Brazilian hair treatment to straighten...it will last about 4 months. Her hair looks amazing.

I blow my hair our every other day. I deep condition once a week with an avocado hair mask. When I blow it out I use a hair polisher called Olive Moisturizing Shine Serum by i.c. -- I think it's fabulous and my hair is always shiny and soft.

I wash and blow dry every day even though they say you shouldn't. I use Pureology hydrating shampoo and a dab of biosilk before and after shampooing.

I forgot to add that when I used to use a flat iron I had the worst split ends. Maybe if you stop using the iron for a while your hair will bounce back?

Thanks- but actually the damage isn't from heat!! I was stunned but I was using some curl products over the summer and they had wheat protein in it. Since during the course of the summer is when my hair started to get EXTREMELY damaged, I am blaming the wheat protein in the new curl products. I heard too much of that might damage your hair.

During the fall I want to heat style my hair again since I'll be starting a new job and I want to look polished and professional- I just feel like my hair is so weak no I hope it can tolerate the blow dryer and not look terrible with a million broken ends

When you blow dry, you just use biosilk? blah, I am so desperate for any suggestions
