Address the Tress


This weekend I wanted to ride my scooter, visit my Mom, go long boarding and hit the Esprit/Lacoste sale. I didn't do anything. An evil debilitating migraine visited me instead. I did manage to think about this post. Here are some of my favourite shampoo and conditioners for dry hair. There are so many more faves but I tried to narrow it down.

High
  • Lakme: K therapy dry repair shampoo and mask
  • Phyto: Phytosesame express replenishing conditioner
  • Ojon: Ultra hydrating shampoo and restorative hair treatment
Not so High
  • Joico: K-pak shampoo and K-pak intense hydrator
  • KMS: Silksheen shampoo and conditioner
  • Terax: Ultra moisturizing daily conditioner
Look for products with lipids and humectants in them. They will help with the frizz and leave your hair more supple. Prevention is always the first plan of action. Avoid overwashing, overdrying, overflatironing, overprocessing. Over anything. If you feel compelled then protect, protect, protect.

Joico is one of my favs.

Looks like we have been in the biz about the same amount of time. 20 yrs for me too! I know, did I really type that..20? lol

Sorry to hear about your migraine Sharon, that is brutal. You know in the last couple of years I've been getting the odd headache and I'm like what the hell is this? So I can't imagine what a migraine is like. Maybe you need some real nice Chardonay to settle yourself down. Take it easy girl.

I wonder if I have dry hair. So many new products. I'm in a shampoo rut.

Yes Grace, I did write that. Scary huh?
Joico is an oldie but a goodie. I was excited when they got bought over by Shiseido. I love Shiseido products. They are fabulous. Glad they kept the classics. Like ice mist and joi gel.

Thank you Rance. I'd have to admit I've been getting more and more headaches. They are getting more evil too. What's up with that??? Tea will have to do for now. But maybe tomorrow I can have a nice glass of well deserved wine.

Christine, you do not have dry hair! It's sooooo healthy. Having a dry rut? We gotta chat. Pronto.
