5 Easy Tips to Help Dry Curly Hair

We know many curly girls suffer from dry hair. With all the products we use on a daily basis it’s hard not stress out our locks. Here are 5 easy tips to squeeze into your daily routine to help heal dry hair.

1. Rinse with cold water. As much as you love your steamy showers, super hot temps can fry your hair. Cold water seals in the moisture you need.

2. Let loose while sleeping. Remove all elastics, clips, bobby pins, etc. Let your curls be free!

3. Take a break from heat tools. Give your hair a day off every now and then from the curling iron, blow dryer and flat iron.

4. Deep condition. This is no joke – deep condition as much as possible. You will truly see a difference in your hair’s health factor.

5. Work with second day hair. I admit, sometimes I wish I could wash my hair everyday. But doing this will really dry out your curls. Instead, discover how to work with second day hair. Maybe it’s wearing a headband. What about half-up, half-down? Or perhaps using a curl revitalizing spray. Figure out what works for you, on a night when you don’t have a hot date, and you’ll be much happier with your curls. Personally, a few spritzes of leave-in conditioner and some Pantene Pro-V Mousse for Curly Hair usually does the trick…but not always!

Product Alert: It’s A 10

As you probably know from previous posts, I’ve been wearing my PGH straight lately. All the heat styling tools take a toll and I’ve been on the hunt for a product to keep my hair healthy and strong. Enter It’s a 10 Miracle Leave in Conditioner. This product was recommended to me by five different stylists at five different salons, so I figured it had to be somewhat good, right?

On the bottle, it claims it does the following instantly:
1. Repairs dry, damage hair
2. Adds shine
3. Detangles
4. Controls frizz
5. Seals & protects hair color
6. Prevents split ends
7. Stops hair breakage
8. Creates silkiness
9. Enhances natural body
10. Flat iron spray & thermal protector

Sounds like a pretty good all-in-1 solution! I’ve been using It’s a 10 for about 2 weeks and so far I really like it. My hair is still looking healthy, shiny and I think it’s even getting easier to style. I reccommend this to anyone who has dry, damaged or chemically treated hair.

Help – I Have a Dry, Itchy Scalp!

My little sister Brittany has a dry, itchy scalp. She came to stay with me over the weekend and we were determined to find a remedy. We turned to Eufora’s Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment. The bottle says to leave the product on your hair for 15 minutes covered with plastic, then rinse. Britt said that her scalp felt tingly, in a good way. I sent her home with the bottle and told her to keep me updated on her scalp status. We’ll let you know if Eufora does the trick…or not. So stay tuned!

Dove’s Cool Moisture Therapy Shampoo

For the last month I’ve been using Dove’s Cool Moisture Therapy Shampoo and I have news…it’s good stuff!! I bought one of those huge bottles with a pump at Walmart for $5, mainly because it was such a great deal.

The cucumber and green tea fragrance smells delicious and the gentle formula leaves my hair feeling fresh and revitalized. Definitely PGH worthy!

When I wash my hair with this stuff, I must admit that it is very therapeutic (do I sound cheesy or what!). It’s true though. The clean smell and creamy texture make for a nice shampoo-experience. I recommend for normal to dry hair.

Have you tried this product yet? If so, leave a comment and let us know what you think.

Mint-tea Hair

Attention readers: Add some tea to your routine!

One problem with us big haired people, especially mousse-users, is that our hair dries out, which can also lead to our scalp drying out. My Hair-God introduced me to this amazing product made by Paul Mitchell–Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment. He swears by it at his salon. This scalp treatment is full of tiny little beads that exfoliate and scrub the scalp. The minty scent is both invigorating and completely refreshing!

I try to use it at least once a week to keep my scalp moisturized and feeling good. Plus, it just feels so cooling and refreshing on my head that I crave using it. My Tea Tree also helps to keep my hair super moisturized and shiny. For those of you with dandruff or dry scalp, this is definitely a problem solver. For all others, I promise it will be a worthwhile and enjoyable experience nonetheless.

Any tea lovers out there?
