Hair conditioner that works??

[oldlady1415]

Can any one recommend a good hair conditioner that helps dry brittle hair?

I had really a lot of hair before taking prednisone ( started last September) but it is not thin, brittle and dry. It upsets me more than any symptom of pmr!!

Any one know something that really works i would be pleased to hear. Thanks

I would love to know too. I had slightly greasy, straight, shoulder length hair. With pred I had hay like curly, dry hair that looked like a scarecrow! I tried everything under the sun. In the end I cut my hair very short.

That's what I have had to do. And I hate it!!

I quite liked my new style and people were quite complimentary, luckily. Much easier for swimming too.

I’ve spent a lot of money on different hair products in an attempt to tame my pred hair that has become thinner as well. The dry straw like frizz occasionally responds but it’s very hit and miss. I’ve had to stop being tempted to buy more conditioners to use up the products I have. I tend to use different ones for each wash which is reduced to once a week or even longer. I’m not sure for me that there’s the holy grail of hair products out there but good luck with your search.

Thanks. I just ordered some deep coconut oil treatment, some Aussie conditioner and a baby shampoo. Fingers crossed!

That sounds like a good start and not too expensive.

my hair has also gone very dry, I found the Aussie 3 min miracle quite good.

I find that after washing and conditioning with whatever I rub the palms of my hands with Bio oil and then stroke my hands through my hair. It seems to help!

Just 2 nights ago I tried this for the straw that has developed over the past 5 months. No idea if it will stop the breaking and splitting but hair feels and looks a lot better so far. tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p...

Elvive total repair 5 conditioner

The French instructions say to leave it on for 2 mins.

Ok. Another to try later. Ta

Since you are in France I doubt anything from the UK is much help - I can't get much in Italy, not that is recognisable at least.

My granddaughter swears by moroccanoil I think it is called

uk.moroccanoil.com/products...

and I was given some - it did help but with the cloud of curly hair I have it is hard work not overdosing!

[Sillydogsmum in reply to PMRpro]

The stuff is available in UK in Tesco....see link . Its called Elseve in France but its the same thing . Roll on L'Oréal ,your local friendly hair product manufacturer🤣......après-shampooing available partout.

Thanks for that.

I am using absolute collagen they do a hair shampoo and conditioner. I have seen a great improvement. It isn’t cheap but I think it has been worth it.

[oldlady1415 in reply to jsk10]

Sounds interesting. I'll look into it.Thanks

I got through my mad scientist hair phase with hair oil that is applied very sparingly to wet hair. John Frieda Frizzease.

[oldlady1415]

Tried that but it didn't really help unfortunately.

I have had loads of hair problems...chunks falling out...the rest vey brittle..the best thing I have found is Johnson's baby shampoo...hope it helps. (and only washing once a week)

I was about to say Aussie then I looked at all the responses and saw you had ordered some I saw it advertised on TV last night and sounds very good Hope it works well for you
