Ever since surgery June 13th of this year my hair is really dry, brittle, yes I get it colored at the salon, a low light and highlights every 7 weeks but ever since my surgery it just breaks off at the ends like its fried. My stylist suggested Biotin. With that said, I read in a magazine tonight about Viviscal but didn't like the reviews on Walgreens.com about oily skin and oily hair from Viviscal but it does promote hair growth and healthy hair for thinning hair which I do have also. I do use a flat iron on it. Anyone of you girls out there a stylist and can shed some light on here for me??? Help!!!

do you spray it on damp hair to blow dry or after you dry and before you flat Iron???

Dry hair..then iron or curl

Does she color you root to tip out just your roots? Just curious since your ends are breaking. I'll assume just you're roots since you generally don't.double process unless you're reprocessing an under processed bleach job

Get Paul Mitchell skinny to put on your damp hair before you blow dry than.use the heat shield once it's dry before you curl or iron

Randi I'm assuming she just does my roots, she foils it. She thinks it's my diet. Thank you all so much for the info. Can't wait to get the products in hand to get started on my hair restoration...

Biotin is great- I take 2 500 mg capsules a day- one in the morning and one at lunch. They're about the size of a tic-tac. It's really been helping me- I had my hair break off and be crazy too, never any hair issues ever, it freaked me out! I do know that anesthesia wreaks havoc sometimes.

It has also really helped my nails as well!

I use coconut oil on my hair. But the one major thing I've found is if I dont get enough protein on a regular basis, my hair falls out-BAD!

well my hair isn't falling out so I really don't think it's a protein issue. I do have a hard time getting my water intake in, in a days time so maybe I'm a bit dehydrated every day. the ends of my hair are brittle, dry and breaking off, it looks fried and frizzy. I just got my hair colored/cut/styled Saturday and my stylist was shocked at the condition and the only thing she could think of was my diet change and to take Biotin. I just ordered the Paul Mitchell Strength and protectant spray from Sleekhair.com its cheaper there. I'm sure I could have gone to Walmart salon and checked to see if they carried the products but sometimes they don't carry all of the products you need, their hair products are cheaper too. The girl that does my hair at my salon carries "It's a 10" products and the other 2 girls carry something else to sell. Wish I could take this pic of me on here and bottle it up as my hair is healthy here and my sides are longer, she has had to cut my sides shorter and it looks horrible trying to cut away the damaged part. Here I come Biotin!!!

The 3 pack should be the shampoo conditioner and a scalp treatment..I had my gallbladder taken out and 3 months later wrist surgery..surgery is very hard on the hair I used it faithfully b4 and after for almost a year had very minimum hair loss.

If u like the it's a 10 line try the Orange cap it's a keratin line..love the miracle oil..I flatiron my hair daily..and just add a small amout from my ears down when it's wet..then again b4 I iron it

thanks Sarah, I certainly didn't expect surgery to take its toll on my hair this bad, whew. Its frizzy sometimes. I do have the Its a 10 Serum but have not used it. The orange cap item you are talking about is that the deep conditioner that you rinse out?

Yes it is..when I put it in my hair I also put on a shower cap so it soaks in and the heat from the Water opens the folicals..I leave it on for ant 5-7 mins...if u have a day that u have nothing to do..wash ur hair put the deep conditon on with a cap and just hang out in ur house all day or sleep with it in..once a week I sleep with my deep condition...also do u wash ur hair e everyday?..since ur hair has been chemically procssed I would go to every other day..and get some dry shampoo..big sexy hair makes a great one so does KMS...even the sauve one is good I just don't like the smell of it

are you still taking vitamins? I take quite a few and biotin is among them. I take 600 mg. also I take DHA for the oil needs.
