@ Ali - I know what you mean. I need to use it more often like at least once a week but it's hard to wait that long sometimes. I have to remind myself sometimes that deep conditioning my hair is worth the wait.

I need to get on board with this. Hair masks are always something I intend to use but then never have the patience for. They are great for getting results but you have to be willing to wait for 10 minutes or more before washing out.

I'm a little confused with the definition of hair masks...I always wanted to try one, since my hair is completely fried, what with all the dying and whatnot. (see my poseoff article! I had a LOT of hair changes).
Does anyone recommend a great method that I could use for these hair masks? I'm definitely ready to try one! (probably will want to start off with the cheaper Neutrogena hair mask, due to lack of funds :P).

@ takoda - Great advice! You're totally right about blow drying, I'm going to try to not blow dry as much anymore since it's summer. I once went to a hair salon when I was in Hong Kong for a vacation. I wanted to get my hair perm straight, and when the stylist put on the hair relaxer, he was like "whoaaa your hair is so damaged!" and proceeded to call other stylists over to check out my damaged hair. Needless to say, I was SOOO embarrassed.

Tammy if you
blow dry your hair too, try and only do it when you really have to. When I was
growing my hair out and was trying my best not to get any more split ends, I completely
stopped blowing my hair out. After I’d washed it, I comb through it, put up to
three ties in it and leave it like that until I washed it again. I did that for
a good six months or more. Having a baby at the time and not having to go to
work everyday helped with having my hair tied back all the time, but it worked.
When I did finally go to the hair dresser to have a spiral perm put in, she
said my hair was in great shape. I also deep conditioned it ounce every week,
but it all helped to strengthen my hair and prepare it for any damage the perm
might cause. I know you do different things to your hair then I did, but if you
can try even doing this on your time off it might help out. The deep conditioning
products that are mentioned above will also definitely help you out.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have really damaged hair due to straightening on a daily basis and constant colouring. I have never tried any of them except for Moroccanoil and it really works! It leaves my hair feeling very soft.
