I have found the very best way to have shiny repaired hair is a coconut oil and avocado mask. If you do it once a week or twice a week until your hair maintains moisture you will have come a long way to restoring your hair. Both are found at the grocery store. Mash avocado up w/ coconut oil...apply on hair...leave on until its almost dry on your hair and wash out well. You can use soap but Id not if you can stay home a few days. I have also learned you should not shampoo your hair much. I use tressemme conditioner as a wash and then if I have to shampoo I take baby shampoo dilute w/ alot of water and then do that through the hair. Main thing is restore natural oils! ...

I have found the only thing that has worked well for me is salicylic acid / oxy 10 mixture. I purchased my own on ebay. I mix a 20% mixture of salicylic with facial lotion. It works out like 1tbs salicyllic powder, 1/2 tsp. Oxy 10, and then like 2 1/2 of my favorite lotion. or cetaphyl wash since you dont wipe that off. Basically you need it in lotion form to not wipe off. I place it only on the areas where I get acne.(sides of eyes temples...and lower cheeks.) Its very drying...and I can use apricot seed oil over it after it drys. ( I also have found that TCA peels and glycolic peels can be done to help the texture of your skin.. depending on your age.) But my skin is flawless now and when I stop this program I break out horribly. I also drink lots of water and work out every day. (If you use any acid on your face use sunscreen!) I notice if I have a horrible painful pimple that is deep the salicyllic acid will be all I need to make it reduce overnight. I will hit it with the mixture above....or even increase the salicyllic concentration to like 30 percent. Then I put a dab of 70% glycolic acid on it and it will be gone within 4 days w/ little or no pain. These just work for me but I learned this from going to skin and allergy news or other research in derm studies and developed my own program through it. You can do the same just do research and stick to the medical like medscape writings. Id not take advice from forums even what I wrote...always test your sources ... View related article.
