macadamia oil has really helped mine...
Thank you for your reply, hmmm I like macadamia nuts, so defo going to try this! Keep well x
Hi Orangelady, I have dry and brittle hair, and I have found that products with keratin in, such as shampoo and conditioners work well, also argon oil, and dove heat spray before styling hair.
Back to conditioning, hot oils and restructure masks left to soak into hair are fab too.
Its awful when your hair gets dry and frizzy, mine breaks off or falls out easy too so I sympathise with you x
Many thanks Femme1 yes mine does go very dry and frizzy to. Will try these products. Keep well x
Am Just about to order from this site myself as I have heard great reports.

Are you feeling well on your current dose of thyroid medication? If not, your hair could be another symptoms of being under-replaced.
Checking your iron, ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D would also be a good idea if you haven't already. Taking biotin (vitamin B7?) can help with hair and nail growth.
Of course, none of my suggestions are going to help with your current hair; only with new hair growth. I like the macadamia oil suggestion! It's making me feel hungry 
I hope you find something that works.

I've been 8 years with it now and my hair is still quite weak and brittle.. I've tried lots of products but the only thing I feel helps is washing and conditioning with Aussie products, adding some Moroccan oil and leaving my hair to dry naturally unless I'm going somewhere special..
Just give it it some TLC Orangelady and it may improve.. Best of luck x
I have just bought coconut oil shampoo for H & B and its nice....and got conditioner too at half price....even thought i have thyroid problems my hair is great!!!!
Advice from an "old" hairdresser, I use ausie three minute miracle...it wont make your hair thicker, but it will coat & protect what you have.x
It's expensive but Kerastace hair mask for very dry hair is incredible and lasts a long time. Just use it as you would a conditioner. It's a miracle worker.
I use Liz Earle shampoo which contains vitamin E aloe vera shea butter apple and orange extracts and the conditioner which has black cohosh blue seakale yangu oil apple and orange extracts in their make up not cheap but a little goes a long way and its wonderful on dry hair their skin range is also very good, its all made with natural ingredients the website is worth a look you can phone them too. They are based on the isle of wight.
