its good to get a lot of hair suggestions but what I have personally tried and given to others for very dull, dry hair to be alive and bounce in minutes is a little sugar taken in your palm with few drops of lime, dissolved and rubbed in the hair just 15 minutes before your bath.
See the difference …
Hi, thanks for the tip. I hope people do benefit from it and I’ll personally try it too.
so right.. brushes are not good for thick Asian, curly hair like ours.. more suited to fine hair.. comb works much better. After taking out tangles with a comb you can use a brush if you want.. Also for blowdrying.
so true 🙂
Pregnancy and stress have been the number one reason for losing my hair. Though I try hard to eat healthy food, there were times when I had no control over my life, and I woke up with strands of my hair all over my pillow.
