My hair is so dry, my scalp is so dry, but I have clean non-flaky hair for the first time in like a year, and I REALLY hope I can recover my ends and make this last with a deep condition and co-wash later this week.
I need your best hair and scalp product recommendations for super dry, super frizzy, medium-fine 2a-2b waves, and combination flaky scalp, because I cannot go on with this nonsense. It does not FEEL good, it doesn't wear well, but no matter what conditioner I use or how much I can never get the conditioner, then sulfate free shampoo, method to work on days when I need an actual shampoo. It either comes out dry and frizzy and poofy or flat and oily. I want my natural big volume plus some decent definition and maybe even some clumping if possible, in addition to the overall health of my hair.
How do you infuse moisture without weighing down your hair? I'm thinking about adding a precondition and/or a weekly hair mask, but this is expensive in time and money.
I'm trying to truly care for myself well and get my skin, hair, and teeth issues sorted. But after having neglected myself and used harsh alcohols and surfactants on my face and hair for 10 years I've begun to understand that the chronic inflammation and nerve issues I deal with exacerbate the inflammation on my scalp, face and gums, and vice versa. And skin inflammations are easier to get rid of with good maintenance than internal ones, so devoting attention there will help keep the other ones from flaring.
