Best shampoo for strength/stop breakage......please

[williwonti]

Hair has always been fairly robust but above all issues now is fact it breaks. So i am developing loads of flyaway bits at top. Don't know why, can only think it is age but i need to start using some products to combat this . Any suggestions i can go get today? I'm 36, dark thick but frizzy hair. Thank you.

If you can tolerate protein, I would recommend either Redken Extreme (including the leave-on 'anti-snap') or Joico K-Pak ranges. Both v good if your scalp can handle protein. Rotate them with a moisturising shampoo as protein rich repair shampoos can be quite drying.

Redken Extreme. As Nom said above anti-snap aswell, it's really good.

Kerastase is very good but £££ and I think only available from salons/online.

Morroccan Oil Moisture Repair shampoo and conditioner is amazing for breakage.

I had this problem and started to have Olaplex at the hairdressers. It's made a massive difference, I've had little to. I breakage and it's seems to have grown like buggery!

Little to no, I meant to say!

I'm not sure re the protein, i'll look into what you mean. I don't mind spending a bit as jeez, on show constantly and looks awful. I'll look and buy later, thanks all.

I can't tolerate protein in haircare- I get an itchy, lumpy scalp and it causes my already fragile hair to snap and split more. That's why I asked. I get on better with more moisturising formulas, regular trims and Olaplex 3.

Also recommend Redken Extreme anti-snap leave in stuff - in a blue bottle. Makes my dyed blonde hair look fairly silky and lustrous.

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer, twice a week. Sorted out an awful bleach job I had when my hair was literally snapping in half.

Moroccanoil left in after every wash too.

Also second (or third!) Olaplex at the hairdressers, when you go.

Chi Keratin Shampoo and conditioner is great for a pick me up. Sulfate free and although it has protein, it's quite moisturising.
Do you deep condition at all? How often do you wash your hair?Have you tried leave-in conditioner and hair oils?

Naturalky dry hair which i wash every 3 days i'd say. How do i know if can tolerate protein? I don't want to spend and find out i can't. I don't go hairdessers for colour, just cuts. Can i buy the Opalex from net? Not sure where to start. I'm happy ro buy shampoo and conditioner as i imagine lasts a while. Anyone care to tell me where to start?

Done my research and am about to buy the Redken products BUT do I need the conditioner AND the anti-snap? It says leave in so I am thinking I probably too or do people think that would be conditioner over-kill? Maybe should start with both until get it into betetr state??

Rahua has worked for me. Not cheap but worth it and also lasts ages.

Also try condition-wash-condition. Basically you pop a bit of conditioner on first (not on roots though), then wash, then condition. It protects your hair.

Yes, use conditioner and anti snap. Antisnap isn't a moisture product, like a tradition leave in conditioner,
it is a protein product designed to help restructure hair. You will need to condition alongside anti snap as it can be drying.

I also wouldn't use anti snap every wash, either. Maybe every third/every other and see how you get on with it, sensitivity wise. Your hair might not need it every time.

Thanks Nomde that's great, will buy now and start using. I assume i'll know if i can't tolerate protein so will get buying!
