Dry Brittle Hair Ends Hair Tips #3 Protein and Moisture Hair Needs
Does your hair appear to be extremely elastic? What about if it feels very hard and brittle to the point where it breaks off? Making sure that your hair is balanced with protein and moisture is important. Figuring out how to achieve this does not require an in depth scientific experiment, you simply want to go by look and feel.
Dry ends are devastating! Especially when you want to wear certain hairstyles that depend up nice smooth, healthy hair ends.When figuring out how to fix your dry hair, searching for that #1 hair product for your hair care remedies may not solve your dry brittle ends. There could be a single reason or multiple reasons why you are experiencing a bit of frizzy hair. The more process and hair products you put your African american hair through, the more difficult it is to diagnose such an infamous question..
"Why are the ends of my hair so Dry and Brittle?"
When growing your hair long (if that's what you chose to do) remember, the health of your hair is a direct reflection of your knowledge about how to take care of your hair. If someone else does your hair, their knowledge will be reflective upon your hair. The thing we must keep in mind about black hair is that it wants gentle products and hair practices.
Dry Brittle Hair Ends Hair Tips #1 Hair Handling/ Hair Manipulation
The way that you handle and manipulate your hair is extremely important when preventing dry brittle hair ends, ultimately hair damage! It is very easy to detangle you hair while it is moist and slippery.
To detangle my natural hair, I use a cheap affordable Vo5 Strawberry Rinse Conditioner and an extremely wide tooth comb. Using a comb with teeth that are close together pulls harshly on the ends of your hair which leads to... (drum roll please)... DRY BRITTLE ENDS!
Dry Brittle Hair Ends Hair Tips #2 Overuse/Overkill of Sulfate Rich Hair Shampoos
Sulfate shampoos are ONLY neccessary when you have extreme buildup on your hair and or scalp so using them on the regular dries out your hair so much, that you're probably convinced the Sahara Desert exists right on top of your head! Many who experience dry brittle ends often times use harsh hair shampoos to cleanse their hair. Use something a lot more gentle, and natural, I like Dr. Bronner's Shampoo.
Also, aim to find hair shampoos that are made with all natural ingredients. If you want 100% organic natural ingredients in your hair shampoos, it can become exhausting trying to find that product. Even then, it may be not cleansing enough or too short of a life span for your use! Experimentation is key. Buying an all natural hair shampoo for black hair may be too expensive for you to afford, your hair probably wont mind using products that have chemicals or synthetic ingredients in them. I personally don't have a natural product standard, I start cheap to see what works before things become more and more expensive. Below are a couple of Organic Natural Hair Shampoos that may interest you, all three have received some of the best customer reviews.

Music "Easy Lemon" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
Hello, everyone - this is Breanna Rutter from howtoblackhair.com and in this video I will be talking about what is the best treatment for dry and brittle hair. The best hair treatment for dry and brittle hair is simply healthy, hair practices. So I hope you weren’t hoping for this. Video to find the secret ingredient with a secret product to fix your hair issues, it really starts with the way that you treat your hair by giving it basic needs. So in this video I will be addressing 6 reasons as to why your hair may be dry and or the first reason as to why you may have issues with your hair being dry or brittle, is because of the way that you handle. Your hair was a constant manipulation that your hair goes a lot of people that doesn't make sense because it combing my hair or wearing. My hairstyle house is bad for my hair. If you all for manipulating your hair, is to comb your hair by continually combing it. While it's wet or dry and putting too much tension on your strands, this leads to breakage the more your hair inappropriately sheds, the worst your hair condition get in. Sometimes this leads to dry here and brittleness. Also, even with the styles you wear, if you change your style and manipulate your hair every single day, you probably have an issue with keeping your hair moisturizing, which leads to dry and brittle hair, so make sure they handling your hair is at a minimum just enough To get your style said and then to avoid over manipulating your hair with styles, just for a couple of styles, maybe a couple times a week or throughout my month my 2nd reason as to why you may be experiencing brittle or dry hair is because of the Overuse of sulfate shampoos, so first of all, using sulfate shampoos on African-American hair is stripping because sulfates are a very powerful cleansing agent. So the more sulfates you have on your hair, more dryer. It leaves your hair after you wash so make sure that when you are using, shampoos is free of sulfate and it's very cleansing on your hair. In the description box below. I have a link in the description describing why sulfates shouldn’t be used on your hair and also give my suggestion with the shampoos that I, personally you and shampoo that I suggest for your hair. The reason as to why your hair may be experiencing these issues is because is not balanced with enough moisture so across the board, with African-American hair, whether you can relax your hair or your hair is natural. You have to always make sure you have either enough protein in your hair, for you are lacking that or enough moisture in your hair, but the biggest thing with natural hair is making sure it stays moisturized, while the biggest issue with relaxed hair is make sure. There'S enough so to to test whether or not my hair has enough protein or moisture in it is to test your hair while its is wet and product free, while your hair is wet and product free, simply run your hands along your hair and also comb. Your hair as well, if your hair seems to feel extremely springy and it snaps or it easily breaks you have to much protein in your hair. You want to incorporate more moisture also, if you combing, your hair, receives the stretch way longer than what is supposed to and often snaps of, feel very limp or gummy. Then you probably have too much moisture in your hair and you want to incorporate protein so also in the description box below. I have a link to how to black hair website, and I talk about what you want to use to make sure you balance your moisture and protein with your. My 4th reason as to why your hair may be dry or brittle is because is in constant contact with moisture absorbents. So just think about the things that you put on your hair, what you lay your head, one! When you go to bed with you, wear a hat or scarf or any type of materials on your head. You really want to make sure they stay away from cotton and wool because they are very absorbent materials now its fine to use a cotton towel. When you are drying your hair, you don't want to where these materials on your hair all day or every so make sure. When you go to bed to protect your hair from becoming dry and brittle by either using a silk pillowcase with your pillow or wearing a silk scarf to protect your hair, also, if you have a favorite wool hat or cotton hat line, your hat with some form Of material that won’t absorb moisture from your hair, so the 5th reason as to why you may be experiencing issues with your hair is because the ends of your hair are naturally more porous. This simply means that the ends of your hair are the oldest, which makes it harder for it to hold them moisture. Hair gains leads in as you go down more towards hair strands. You start to lose more scales, that is on the outside of your hair shaft. The scales that are on the outside of your hair, close to constrict to keep them moisture in it, opens to release moisture so as your hair becomes older, especially the very and he doesn't have any scales to keep moisture inside of your hair. So, even when you wet it, sometimes it seems to just get dry. That'S why it's very important that when your hair is wet, you use some type of oil to keep the moisture trapped in to help your hair remain moisturized. So this very thing is something that you can fix it, and if you tried everything, maybe your hair is naturally on a little bit of the dry side. So my final and last reason, number 6, is why you may have dry and brittle hair is because you need to cut trim or dust those ends so make sure that you keep on top of this when it's necessary. Your have to cut your hair every 3 weeks, 4 weeks or 8 weeks. You just want to look at your hair and be able to see where damage is. If you notice that you have a lot of single-strand knots at the ends of your hair or you notice, a lot of split ends, then, is probably time to cut those ends off and you don't have to go drastic. You can simply twist each section of your hair and small sections and user scissors to snipped those very small frayed ends. This will help your hair a lot from feeling dry and brittle. So me, personally, when I went natural, I was natural for about 2 years before I even cut my hair and my hair was at the same way for a long time and I'll have a few stringy strands that stuck up for my hair, because I wasn't trimming My hair every day my hair felt dry and brittle no matter how many moisture treatment or protein treatments I did. But as soon as I cut my hair, my hair was perfect. It beautiful and actually held moisture in a lot better, so make sure you're trimming your ends when you notice that they are starting to get a little ratty for a little see-through ish. You want to make sure that you cut them, so your hair can remain healthy. So those are my best tips for treating your hair when he is dry and brittle. Remember that there is no secret ingredient or product is going to fix your hair situations. You first of all to have to have healthy hair practices in order for your hair to grow and flourish so be sure to check out howtoblackhair.com for more articles and how to videos like these

T'kehya P-Cupid: I feel like my ends are naturally rough, I literally did a good trim 2 months ago and after taking out my extensions for a month my ends started to feel rough again. This has been the same for years and I would assume it was split ends so I would excessively trim my hair. I am glad I watched your video, and I will try to stay on top of deep conditioning
Monica Raines: Ladies don't give up, that dry and brittle problem maybe protein overload. You maybe sensitive to this. If you are moisturizing but are still dry. Look at the products and check protein ingredients. Knowing your porosity also helps. Don't give up, try products with no protein.
theqwndiva: I truly appreciate the clarity and how thorough you are in explaining each topic. Thank you so much for taking the time to post such important information.
Cammie: I miss when my hair was natural, It grew so long so fast and the texture was amazing. One of my guy friends even said I had "good hair"! I've never had ANYBODY tell me that before! It was just so hard for me to maintain it. Relaxers just break off my hair. My hair is one of those naturally dry types, so I do have a difficult time keeping it properly moisturized.
RawJewel: good video but the factor causing my dry hair that was not mentioned by you is WATER. I viewed many videos on this subject and tried numerous products but It was not until I bought a filter for my shower head that I began to see results. This problem may only exist in certain areas but it is A factor to consider.
Donna Henderson: I use silicones for my hair that WAS dry and brittle. Silicones made a WORLD of difference. Now I know what your thinking. "WHAT silicones are bad, right" NOPE they are not if you use them the right way. Now silicones lock IN and lock out which can be a really good thing because it protects your hair from the elements and manipulation. So if you hair is really moisturized THEN you apply silicones you locking all that good moisture in. But if you use silicones it can cause build up. To complete get rid of the cones and build up you a shampoo with a sulfate or a shampoo that has Cocamidopropyl Betaine. It's as easy as that
Sara: I love your posts. I'm learning so much! Thank you. I have a question though, so my hair has length, yet I don't have volume. What can I do to gain the thickness back. I have thought of cutting my hair and going natural but I don't really want to go that route. Please any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Wes Cooper: hi Breanna. I've been growing my hair for a year and some now and things are going well except one spot in my hair that always seems to be dry. in that spot I don't have as much hair as I do on the rest of my head. I use coconut oil and Dr. miracle's to help it but idk really if its working. what should I do?
Sandra: Excellent tips Breanna, thank you!
Tangela Kelly: How do you control the crown of your hair from coming out and thining?
Jocelyn Hughes: Excellent video! This is one of the most educating video about black hair on youtube and it's short and sweet! Thanks!

Melissa Walcott: Very informative... Great job!
Earthmother29: am protein sensitive and have low porosity hair, my hair is very dry and it soaks up moisture like the sahara.What products can I use for protein treatment and deep conditioning in order to prevent dryness and shedding on my hair.
jjb768: Good tips, but I tried sulfate-free shampoos which made my hair very dry and brittle.
Flora Florii: I'm not black but I used to have very dry hair that compared to dry damaged kinky hair. I started to oil my hair after my hair was damp from the shower and kept it oiled and I condition it with a silicone free conditioner. I wash my hair twice a week and shampoo when my hair feels like theres a lot of build up. When going outside put sunscreen on your hair to protect it from the uv rays.
Ebony Ellis: Well, my hair is dry and brittle due to either the conditioner I used or this new product I used. I acv rinsed my hair yesterday and it came out soft. Then I shampooed my hair with herbal essence and my hair was gross. It was dry, limpy and brittle. I'm so confused. I thought I needed protein? How do I know which product is just moisture? I understand protein.
VintageFlamingo: Informative ans on point...thank you!
Yatunda I Primm: hi Breanna! i am helping my nieces start their natural hair journey. please list the sulfate free shampoos that you suggest. thank you sooo much. btw WE LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS.
Cocodan 2000: I've come to realize, although I've tried many moiturizing products, why my hair was dry.It hit me one day.I have a very unfortunate habit. I'm a smoker and that enhances the dryness.
Iyauna Shaniece: When do you add protein treatments during your LOC regimen method.
Pearl Rowell: I'm African English and 11 my hair is about shoulder length bra length (naturally)when I used to straighten it with a straightener and it looked nice but all it did was give me split ends and damage my hair line so now I've just been deep conditioning my hair co washing it and blow dry straightening it and braiding it and it looks thick and shiny again
mzkea1: you have to read the ingredient label and look for hidden protein and reseach, research..Aussie moist 3 min deeep conditioner has NO proteins and is ver inexpensive, its one of my go to deep conditioners..you can also add honey to add even more moisture..good luck!

Beetrill: Should I cut off the dry brittle ends? Or is there something to get rid of them ..?
Monz Miller: I have tried EVERYTHING. My hair just will not hold any moisture. Cantu shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, neutragena triple silk moisturizer, olive oil conditioner, tresemme conditioner, EVERYTHING. My hair will just not maintain any moisture. Anything I put on my hair just sits ontop of it glistening in the sunlight . Even if I were to bob my head into a barrel full of oil, my hair wouldn't hold any of it, it just comes off in my silk scarf and feels hard. I'm really thinking about just forgetting the natural thing and going to get a relaxer, that's the only way my hair seems to be able to feel like hair rather than like a head of the wire scourer you use to clean out your dirty pans .. ugh!
BiohazardSkeleton: My hair isn't kinky or a high level of texture but its bleached and practically dead and I need to bring its moisture level back to life, this is one of the most informative videos I've ever seen on youtube you've earned a sub!
