Hair products for over processed, dry, frizzy hair

Is your hair looking dull and dry and you don't know what to do with it. I am constantly looking for the best products for my hair without breaking the bank. First I should mention I live in Santa Cruz, CA...lots of fog and humidity, which makes it hard to manage my dry wavy and frizzy hair. I also color my hair ever 4-6 weeks, which adds to my dryness. I tried drugstore products, but my hair still looked dry and frizzy. I spent too much time online seeing what other people like and use. Many times I became frustrated, not finding what I was really looking for. I have used advise from different websites and bloggers. After spending this much time researching, I thought it was my turn to share what I learned.

I currently use a combination of products to keep my hair soft and shiny. First I have realized I don't need to spend a lot of money on "high end" shampoos. But I also don't want to use a shampoo with sulfates and that strips my hair of all its moisture. So for shampoo I use Loreal Everpure Moisture Shampoo. I tried the conditioner too, but my hair is so dry and over-colored (and I am sure very gray), that this conditioner did not work well for me. So I condition my hair every day with Loreal Serie Absolut Expert Masque. This is a weekly condition, but I use it every day. After towel drying my hair, I follow this with Loreal Serie Absolut Repairing Cream Leave-in Conditioner (about 2 pumps). Try to stay away from the scalp to avoid a greasy look. Lastly I use Citre Shine Split End Mender (about a dimes worth). This makes my hair shiny and reduces the frizzies and fly-aways. It is important to know that if you use too much, it will make your hair limp. The amount you will need to use will vary. You need to experiment in the beginning, but start with less and then go from there. As I said before, this is my current routine and it seems to be working well, but it took me a long time to figure this one out. I am always looking for something better. Next I plan to try the Argan Oils I have read about. First plan to try Morrocanoil. I'll let you know what I think.
