im leaving it, but do you know any good products or and tips to help repair it?
i AM NOT straightening it nn the summer
raw eggs just makes it shine for a few days i'd say get it trimmed up that way you dont have any bad ends an if you do what you say dont straighten it you will have healthy hair specially if you get it trimmed. try damage conditioner also when you do start straightening it again try a heat defense spray before.

What are some inexpensive hair products that will keep my hair healthy?
Jan 21, 2009 by <3 MuNcHy <3 | Posted in Hair
I have always had very healthy hair and I have only dyed it a few times. I now prefer to leave it at it's natural color as dyes are not good for your hair. My main concern is that, while my hair is healthy, my sister's hair is not and she has never dyed her hair. We are both looking for products that can promote healthy hair and keep out hair healthy. Does anyone know of any inexpensive products that do this?
You do not have to use expensive products to keep your hair healthy.
Healthy hair starts with a good hygien of life.
Like everything else about true, lasting beauty, healthy hair begins within your body. Start with your diet. Include lots of green leafy vegetables and sweet juicy fruits. Dairy products such as milk and fresh yogurt will also help. Fresh coconut is also considered excellent "hair food" – sprinkle grated coconut over salads, diced fresh fruit, or rice.
Cut down on refined, processed and canned foods. Ice-cold beverages also hamper the process of digestion and assimilation of nutrients.
Cooking with certain spices adds flavor to your food and provides nourishment for your hair. Cumin, turmeric and black pepper are some "hair-friendly" spices. Add a healthy pinch of each to single-portion soups and stews as they are cooking.
Stress can be seriously injurious to long-term health and color of hair. Try and manage your time and tasks to minimize time-related pressures. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation. Get adequate, good quality sleep to help the natural process of rejuvenation.
Stay away from harsh chemical topical products that can damage hair over time. Look for gentle, natural cleansers and conditioners, especially if you wash your hair more than three times a week. Shampoos and conditioners that contain nourishing botanicals are even better. Read labels carefully – sometimes, products that say "herbal" or "natural" can include no-no chemicals.
A warm oil scalp massage two or three times a week will help stimulate and moisturize the scalp. You can use good quality coconut, almond or olive oil. Apply some mildly warmed oil to your hair and gently massage into your scalp evenly with your fingertips. Leave on overnight if you can, if not, leave on for at least an hour or two, then get it out by shampooing your hair. The scalp massage helps you relax and aids sound sleep as well.
Never attack wet hair with a brush, no matter how rushed for time you are. Tangles in wet hair are best removed with a wide-toothed comb. Use a wooden comb if you can find one; it won't generate static electricity. Excessive blow-drying can damage hair in the long-term, making it brittle and causing split ends. If you can, let your hair dry naturally, then brush into place.
Last, but not least, brushing your hair regularly to stimulate the scalp will keep it looking healthy and lustrous. Brush each night in all directions in turn – left to right, right to left, front to back and back to front Use smooth long strokes from scalp to hair-tips.
All the best!

What can i do to start growing healthy long hair?
Mar 30, 2007 by paul_shir | Posted in Hair
I would lik to grow long, silky and healthy hair. I always keep my hair at slightly longer then shoulder length. When I started to let it grow longer, hair would start to fall. by the time i had them at my waist, my hair shape would be V-shaped, unhealthy and hair become lesser.
I would lik to grow healthy long hair lik any other gals, please let me noe what shd i do to start growing my hair healthy so that my hair would not start falling?
I love any methods, vitamins, hair pdts and any other formulas.
I did not dye my hair. wat does healthy diet means? I eat veg, white meat, red meat and fruits daily. Lesser meat and more veg and meat. I mean my hair is thinning whn my hair get longer.
The longer your hair is, the ‘older’ the ends of it are. Everyday, wear and tear, such as sun, wind, blow drying, curling irons and other heat styling tools, even shampooing and brushing, all work together to gradually erode each hair. This eventually causes split ends that will, in turn, result in the hair breaking off. Don't believe in that myth of the 100 stokes a day. Just brush enough to distribute the oil from your scalp to the reswt of your hair.
Hair grows at a different rate for each person. The best way to keep your growing strong is to keep it healthy and eat a good healthy diet as well. Food plays a big part in your skin and hair growth. And don't believe the empty promises of shampoos and supplements for faster hair growth.
Here are some hair growing tips:
Eliminate or cut back on smoking, caffeine and carbonated sodas which weaken the body and block maximum hair growing potential.
Eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of good protein, vitamins and minerals, specially iron. Try fish, poulty without skin, lean beef, eggs, and dairy products.
Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and beans.
Avoid foods that are high in sugar or fat.
Treat your hair like a piece of fine old lace. Treat it carefully avoiding any unnecessary brushing, combing or handling.
Avoid use of hot water, hot blow dryers or other hair care tools that may stress the hair.
Have a weekly scalp massage to provide stimulation to the hair follicles.
Do a series of ongoing hot oil treatments to protect the hair's shaft.
Have regular trims to eliminate split ends and allow the hair to look and feel healthier.
Get plenty of rest and sleep to allow your body to grow hair
Avoid stress!
If any of these tips work for you consult a dematologist you might have a condition that it makes your hair stop growing or to fall.

Healthy hair is grown from inside out. What are the best foods for hair?
Sep 04, 2007 by marie c | Posted in Hair
I know hair grows from the scalp, duh, but I also know what you eat determines alot how healthy your hair and scalp is. What are the best foods, fats, veggies etc for promoting healthy hair?
Beef
If you don't have high cholesterol, Thompson recommends eating red meat twice a week for optimal hair health. Not only does beef have the protein you need, but also B vitamins, iron, and zinc, important minerals for healthy hair.
Eggs or Egg Whites
Vegetarian? Can't eat red meat for health reasons? Then egg whites are the way to go. "If you can't eat an animal protein, egg whites are the next best thing," says Thompson. "Their value is underestimated in our society."
Brown Short-Grain Rice
You should have complex carbohydrates, which feed you energy over a longer period of time than refined carbohydrates, with your protein source at meals. Brown short-grain rice is an ideal form. It's also a good source of B vitamins and some fiber.
Cottage Cheese
Try low-fat cottage cheese for a protein-packed breakfast or lunch on the go when you don't have time to make eggs. Top it with some fresh berries for an added serving of fruit. Plus, cottage cheese is also a good source of calcium.
Bacon
Although it's not a good food to eat if you're trying to lose weight, eating a normal serving of bacon for extra B vitamins, zinc, and protein.
Salmon
Try it smoked or fresh at breakfast, lunch, or dinner for a good dose of protein along with B vitamins, including B12, and other vitamins and minerals.

What is the best product for healthy hair?
Oct 14, 2008 by =] xoxoKaitlin | Posted in Hair
Okay, so I really really really want long hair! But the thing is I have really thick curly hair, and my ends are just horrible. I want something that will smooth out my hair, repair my ends and add tons of moisture to my hair. If you could, list a shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner/ cream, and something to protect my hair from heat damage. I straighten my hair. Umm I just want to grow my hair the healthy way, without cutting it. Its already a little more than a tad below shoulder length. Ten points to whoever gives me the best advice!
You said your hair was thick and curly so you will want to use products specially for your hair type. If you want long hair then you must keep the hair that is on your head healthy. Many people who want long hair forego getting haircuts. Well, if you have split ends, they will just keep splitting up the hair shaft and break ofr. Getting tiny trims every couple of months will help a lot!
For products that will help your hair type's condition and allow for maximum growth, I would suggest the Graham Webb line of hair products. The ones that would be perfect for your hair are the Heat Response in Graham Webb. They are good if you have thick or dry hair and still need to straighten it.
You didn't mention if you straighten your hair temporarily with an iron or if you do it chemically. I will tell you that chemical straighteners are very caustic and damaging so you will want to totally condition and use good salon products. If you do it temporarily then the Heat Response line is good for protecting your hair while you do that.
Good luck!

To cut, or not to cut…
06.09.10
Unqualifiedly, very few women look upright with short hair. Some can take it off, but not most.
There seems to be no good evolutionary rational for us to have all this hair on our heads, except to act as some class of physical signal to other humans, that is, doubtlessly, as an attractant. Vast glossy “healthy” hair is an inculpate in of health, and thus advertises us as a palatable mate. Which is why nobody wants ageing baldies like me (does not utilize to ancient, bald, fabulously filthy rich business tycoons, have any objection to). So, less hair just isn’t very arousing. It makes most women look older and less appealing. And men, too.
There’s also another communal element. Wanting or absent hair being associated with sexlessness, it is also associated with puritanical values- workaholicism, prudishness and an scantiness of fun. Short hair becomes in fashion in puritan times, large hair in liberal times. The puritans were called roundheads because of their cropped hair, the restoration time was associated with fancy hair. The liberal 60s was a without surcease of long hair, the following descent back into puritanism (public correctness, we call it these days) has had a unmatched association with shorter hair, very on men. A woman with cropped hair is seen as being serious and businesslike, and sexless, and moralist.
So, if you’re one of the dwindling few who prefers reformer values- that existence is here to enjoy- then keep your great hair as an advertisement of that. Except the joyless, sexless miseries of the radical- the Harmans and Primarolos- to advertise their brutish puritanism with their loathsome hacked-off barnets.
When hair looks delicate health, its ends split and hair brush gets unusually full after every combing, it is space to start working on some improvements. Most often problems with hair occur due to a diabolical diet. Four main vitamins and four minerals add up into healthy hair formula.
While it is unreserved to find pills that would give the right complex of nutritious components for glassy strong hair, one should think about good food as vegetables and fruit in lieu of of chemicals in a pill.
Here are nine main products that care about hair:
1. Chickpeas. This is the most solution for any person because they are a good substitute of meat which is specifically beneficial for vegetarians and the ones who exclude meats from their diets due to a number of believes and purposes.
Chickpeas are full in Zinc and Vitamin B6. The mineral is trustworthy for hair growth by building hair protein. Together with Vitamin A it works on scalp haleness preventing dandruff.
Vitamin B6 or Folic acid is accountable for the amount of oxygen in blood which improves hair growth as well.
2. Roast beef. If the man is all right about having meat, roast beef will be the one that serves the same target as chickpeas since it is also rich in Zinc and Vitamin B6.
The meat is a kindly source of Protein that is a building brick for hair and nails. When the ourselves tries to stay away from meat, they can take Protein from soy beans, leafy vegetables and sunflower seeds.
3. Soy beans. Besides Protein, soy is full in Iron and vitamin E. Iron is urgent for the creation of hemoglobin cells which increase oxygen play fair with in the blood and provides faster hair growth.
Vitamin E helps blood orbit and oxygen absorption.
4. Oats. As well as previously mentioned products, oats are plenty in Iron. Besides, they lower bad cholesterol level in blood which means the blood vessels get cleaner and can haulage important ingredients all over the body.
