My curly hair dried out really easily???

My hair is curly enough that the looset curls are probably about the size of my pinky finger (circumfrence-wise), on the inside [like my pinky could fit inside, only stretching it a little] It's about shoulder-length, I use a conditioner everyday , and only "shampoo" my hair 2 times per week. I had a deep conditioning treatment done about a month ago, at which time my hair was actually a dirty-blonde color in some places because of all the chlorine damage. I really did not like the way it looked after that, really tight, tight curls bouncing everywhere at chin-length. I don't want to do that again, so I was wondering how i can keep the length, but get it healthy??

thanks!

-Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life!

- To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blowdryer, a diffuser, butterfly clips, and a microfiber hair turban.

-The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygenic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent- they dry out curly hair.

- Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse. It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair. Then let your hair air dry or use a blowdryer with a diffuser.

- I really like the garnier fructis sleek and shine leave in cream and Tressemme clean hold gel, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites. Frizz-ease hair serum is pretty good for fighting frizz.

- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working.This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least the websites. Naturally curly hair can be beautiful! Hope this helps!

My suggestion to you is to use shampoos and conditioners that are all natural, like Burt's Bees (I love their products!) so that you're hair is not weighed down or mistreated by chemicals in commercial products. Then when you get out of the shower (it's safe to wash your hair every other day when you use all natural products, even though your hair normally gets dried out) and your hair is dry or nearly dry, put some Organic, Virgin, Unrefined Coconut Oil. You can find some in a high end grocery store like Wild Oats or Whole Foods in the cooking oil section. I use it on my body %26amp; my hair as a moisturizer. I LOVE IT!!!!
