Expert Answer

Use a deep conditioner occasionally to nourish your hair. If you have fine hair, you may need to deep condition your hair more often than someone with full, thick hair. However, avoid using a deep conditioner too often, as it may actually make your hair brittle.

Question

I have short hair. My hair is curly, rough, frizzy, unmanageable, and flyaway. How do I make it straight and smooth and silky naturally?

Community Answer

Start applying lots of hair oil, and avoid using the hair dryer. Instead ,dry your hair with a pure cotton fabric. Use lots of conditioner, and leave it for 3 solid minutes. Rinse off with super cold water. For flyaway hair, try using after-shampoo hair creams or hair sprays.

Question

Which shampoo is the best for giving volume to hair?

Community Answer

Most volume shampoos have fewer conditioners in them to weigh down the hair, but you could also accomplish the same thing by using less conditioner on your hair, so try only conditioning your hair once or twice a week. If you still need a volume shampoo, you will have to try out individual types and brands to find the one that's best for your particular hair type.

Question

How do I untangle fine hair?

Community Answer

When you're still in the shower, run your fingers through your hair to get out any large knots. Then take a wide-toothed comb and gently pull it through the wet hair, starting at the bottom and working your way up. When you get out of the shower, use a soft cotton t-shirt to dry your hair instead of a harsh towel.

Question

Can I use leave-in conditioner as a general protection against breakage and heat?

Community Answer

Yes. A leave-in conditioner will give your hair some more nourishment and will add shine and strength to your hair. It also helps to detangle hair and keep it that way.

Question

My hair doesn’t grow more than a certain length without starting to tangle and get split ends. How can I have long and beautiful hair?

Community Answer

Hair won't grow longer than a certain point for most people. You could get hair extensions to achieve the long and beautiful hair you want.
