Internally - Water, vitamin a, b12, biotin, e capsules. (Try to stay away from tablets b/c they have binders and fillers. Liquid vitamins are the ultimate especially if taken sublingually but they are expensive.
BTW, for brehettes reading this - if you use biotin be prepared for more hair growth EVERYWHERE.)

Do you know your hair type? Is the curl loose or coily? Do you live in a hard water area? Do you sleep on cotton pillow cases? Do you use gels or grease?

You can start out with a clarifying shampoo - This will give you a clean base. Don't overuse this shampoo because it can dry your hair out even more. Shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo (it should be pearly looking not clear). Deep condition (you can use your body heat) with a moisturizing conditioner (look for 1 that has glycerin in it...the glycerin should be at the top of the ingredient list, if it's at the bottom of the list then pass on it). Apply a leave-in conditioner and then put grapeseed oil on top of that. Don't worry about being oily because grapeseed oil absorbs into hair / skin very well. Stay away from products with mineral oil in them.

There's other things you can do to restore moisture...but you're a guy and probably won't want to consistently do all of it...so I gave you a cheat, lol!

I use / recommend these brands -
Kerastase
Biolage
Kenra
Shea Moisture
Mizani

Pick at least 2 brands so that you can alternate.
- clarifying shampoo
- moisturizing shampoo
- moisturizing conditioner
- leave-in conditioner
- grapeseed oil

:mjgrin:

I can probably do 2 at most... what is leave-in conditioner? can you get that unscented? i don't want to smell like a woman. i won't do grapeseed oil, i tried coconut oil one time and my hair stank for the whole day :mjcry: don't want to experience that again.

Start with a good cleanser, moisturizer, witch hazel, and vitamin c:

Ex -
1. Cerave Foaming Facewash
2. Dr. dikkinson Witch hazel (You'll get used to the scent)
3. Artnaturals Vitamin C (Apply thin layer & let dry before moisturizing)
4. Cerave Daily Moisturizing Lotion

In that order and all could be found at Target for @ $50.00
