How can I get rid of dry spots in my hair?

Mikalah

I have thick, coarse, 3b hair that will not absorb anything in like 3 different spots (top front and each side in front of ears). I tried adding more product to those spots (results in white specks in hair) , adding oils, and I do a deep treatment every week! Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried adding heat to your deep conditioning treatment?  Sometimes using heat can help the conditioner penetrate the hair more.  Make sure you get plenty of your conditioner in those spots, then cover your head with a plastic bag or a shower cap, then wrap a hot towel around your head.
