Dry Hair
CLKD:
Warmed olive oil ........... would need to use a very old towel ::) ......... rinsed off with tepid water, sounds relaxing to me. Now where can I find someone to ........ that's why I love treating myself to an hour in the hairdressers ;)

Have been using shampoo only every 3rd wash for years (I wash my hair everyday), and in between washing with just conditioner. However, lately my hair has been getting drier and drier, but as luck would have it I found a product whilst on holiday in St Ives which seems to be doing the trick. It's a shampoo soap bar which is made from purely natural stuff, with no silicone or other rubbish. I was advised it could take up to 8 washes to make a difference, but after only 4 the improvement is amazing. My hair has not been this soft for years and I have not had to use a ton of product to make it behave. The shop has a website www.cornwallsoapbox.co.uk, and the shampoo soap bars are £4.50. This might seem a lot but the bar is so hard I'm sure it will last for ages.
Could be worth a try.

Hi Evie
Here is a thread I started some while ago on which you may find some useful tips.

Personally I would advise against any products which contain sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate (which is basically detergent).
My trichologist warned against using baby shampoo - can't remember why though. Can't say I've ever been tempted anyway - it's not designed for adult hair.
I'm a big fan of argan oil which I rub into wet hair after I've just washed it (in SLS-free and paraben-free shampoo, of course). Plus Lamberts Maxi-Hair supplement. I'm sure his has helped my hair look more vital.

Ive been doing the following and i promise its fantastic- body shop hair and skin shea oil mixed with a big big dollop of olive oil into dry hair. Gentle rub/ comb then put your hair into one of the cheap supermarket turbans for at least an hour or overnight if poss. In the morning shampoo twice and condition then dry using what you normally use. Soft shiny hair
