Try a moisturizing product. Check out the selection at your closest salon and/or spa, as they carry high-end products that you cannot find at dept. stores.\n\nBTW - I have heard that Head & Shoulders is notoriously BAD for your hair, but I don't necessarily know if that it true.

No if you blow dry it all the time that will make your hair break and get all dried out, after you shampoo your hair you should deep condition it with a really good moisturizer and left it sit for about 10 to 15 Min's or more then rinse out with warm water, towel dry it grease your scalp comb and brush your hair out and put it up in a pony tail Brade it and let it dry for the night. Also if you wanna dry your hair go buy a sit under dryer at sally's they are cheap, they are like $40 it's way better then blow drying trust me, and you should also  get a hott comb and straighting it out when your hair is dry or if you don't know how get some one to do it for you this will help you al ot . even try going to the salon ever 2 weeks they will take good care of your hair, I suggest you buy moisturizes at Sally's hair store. God bless. One more thing when you let the conditioner sit get a plastic cap and put it over your head and let it sit while you clean or cook or watch TV and then it will be time to rinse it out. their is this shampoo and conditioner called Silk Elements, or PANTENE Pro- V Relaxed& Natural for women of color, their is this deep conditioner that I use called"tea tree"  you can buy any one you want but use this after you shampoo and condition your hair and then let it sit and rinse out good luck. P.S. you can find alll those products at Sally's and ask for black hair treatment.

Try using an soft clesn dry towel.  But before you use it be sure to shake it off.  (the little pieces of fuzz might stick, if that doesn't work try dampening the towel just a little bit NOT TOO MUCH).\n                             if you need more help just ask another question and I'll try to answer it!   Thanks,\n                                          See Ya later!

Here is my take on how to grow long healthy hair.  Not necessarily fast, but definitely long and healthy.  Hair and nails are made up of dead cells from your body.  Hence, if you feed your body junk regularly, you are bound to produce weak hair and nails.  So tip number one: eat a balanced diet and drink at least eight 8 oz glasses of water every day.  Next, treat your hair nice!  No coloring, perming, straightening, highlighting, etc...  Want some natural highlights?  Put on a good sunscreen on your skin, cover up as much skin as you can, and expose your hair to natural sunlight regularly.  Take it easy on the blow drying, in fact, eliminate it entirely if possible.  Try washing your hair before going to sleep, towel drying it, then wrap it in a fresh dry towel before laying down.  Another way to be nice to your hair is to lay off washing it every so often.  Once a month refrain from washing your hair till the natural oils from your scalp have saturated your hair from root to tip.  This may take anywhere from three to five days.  Updoos are a great way to hide your natural hair treatment!  You should also get your haircuts less often.  Yes split ends happen, but if you can be patient, eventually you will have long healthy hair and then you can get the regular cuts every couple of weeks or so.  And finally I address your exact question.  Shampoo.  Shampoo is meant to clean hair.  That's it.  That is all it does.  Check out consumers reports.  They tell the truth about everything!  I use Pert Plus shampoo with conditioner.  In one easy step it gets my hair clean and tangle free.  Now every time I get my hair done, and I mean every time, the hair dressers compliment me on how long, thick and healthy my hair is.  Then they ask me what shampoo I use.  When I tell them Pert Plus they all say the same thing.  How bad Pert Plus is.  Then they throw the sales pitch for whatever product their salon sells, which is usually expensive.  My question is : if Pert Plus is so bad for my hair, why did they just finish telling me how thick, healthy and long it is?  By the way, my hair is about six inches past my waist, and has been for over ten years.  And yes, I have been using Pert Plus that whole time.  I may have long hair, but I don't have the patience to wash and condition it every time I shower.  Hope this helped!  Good luck!

Its acting that way because you were used to your original shampoo. And your hair isn't used to it. So that's why your hair is acting funny.

get the kind of shampoo that says "protect hair from damage" or something of the sort. hope it helps!

Rinse it off first, and then take it to a drive through wash.  The pressure wash should get it all off.  Good Luck.

It damages the hair tottaly. Here's something I found about it:\n\nextra heat means you should apply extra care to your day-to-day maintenance. Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week - or even more often if your hair is naturally dry. Make sure you only use good quality shampoos, conditioners and styling products, and have your hair cut before the ends start to split. These preventative measures will make the difference between a healthy or lifeless hairstyle.

You could be shampooing too often.. everyday is too much..try putting more oil in your diet..ie olive oil..and stop using a hair dryer if you are using one.

Honestly, I had the same problem, but latelesly I've tried one formula, it realy works. Here it is: take whole egg, add one big spoon mayonaiz, 1 sp olive oil. Mix all and apply on your hair, leave it for at least 2hs, you may cover your head with foil paper. take nice shower.\nthis can be done once to twice a weak, and the other days while washing your hair try not to use the comb.\nGood luck:)

Find a good hairdresser and make an appointment.  Just don't wash the perm for 24 hours.

You are so nasty. but if you are so worried wash it with warm water and a disinfectant like dettol. leave it air dry and i guess you are good to go.

It should tone down a bit after several days.  It's probably just the excess dye in your hair.

The only way to keep your hair dry is to not put your head in the water. There is no such thing as a cap keeping your hair totally dry. I have swam for over 10 year, 7 at high competitive events and have never gotton out of the water with dry hair. Caps are only designed to get your hair out of your face and to help from slowing you down.\nI was actually asked this the other day when i was coaching.\nMaybe it might be a new invention..\nwould make some money...
