Always rinse with cold water, you can stand after using a shampoo and conditioner for your hair straight. Cold water locks the hair cuticle and makes the hair appear Slicker, less frizzy. If you have curly hair and do not want frizz, but still want it to be SHINEY rather woolly, apply aloe vera by the hair.

I too started flat ironing everyday until my girlfriend referred me to www.biolustreflorida.com hair products. I really think you sound like me, (which if I added up all the hours I spent flat ironing my hair, I could probbly retire)LOL. Anyway, I was searching for skin care when I found you, and it hit home. I hope their products help you like they did me, the are amazing! Good Luck!

The shampoo and condtioner doesnt matter. Ive used all kinds. Its what you use after your hair washing that matters. I straighten my hair sometimes and i use a flat iron spray on it before i straighten it. It keeps your hair from drying out and freezies out. Ive tried hundrends of things for my hair over the years and know by using a leave in conditoner after i wash my hair and just a little hair spray(dont go overboard) my hair keeps its bounce and curls just right. You just have to figure out whats best for your hair.. Try diff stuff till you get it. Everyones hair is diff and not all things will work with everyones hair. Good luck.

This may sound funny, but there is a product called 'bouncycreme', that is supposed to help your hair curl. When it is dry and you straighten it with a flat iron, it gets unusually flat and silky, better than when you use flat iron sprays. I got it at a salon.

I use their shampoo ( volumeizing) and sun touched conditioner (Sorry can't spell) which really helps unmanagable hair. If i dont have time to dry my hair I put it in a tight bun at the bottom of my hair line which relaxes frizzies and curls. but if I do dry it after, I apply a couple spritzes of the aussie anti-humidity hair spray, wait for it to dry, and then brush it out. I also straighten my hair which is really drying out my hair and if thats the problem, invest in thermal protection cream to use with a straightener or blow dryer.

I have hair that is a mix of curly and wavy(not kinky). First off, I wouldn't recommend washing it everyday. This strips hair of natural moisturizers and moisturizing is what keeps frizzies at bay! CONDITION MOSTIURIZE, KEEP IT HEALTHY! I use a deep conditioner about every week, and that help keep waves and curls smooth. AVOID OVER PROCESSING AND USING TOO MANY HOT TOOLS ON YOUR HAIR! IT WILL MAKE HAIR UNHEALTHY AND UNMANAGABLE! But if you do, use hair repairing cream. Also it helps to put your hair in either 2 or 1 braid(s) at night so your hair is more manageable in the morning. I can't really recommend any products because everyone's hair is so different! GOOD LUCK AND KEEP EXPERIMENTING!

My hair is fine and curly. The only way I can keep it from frizzing is to wash and condition it every day, yes I said EVERY DAY. Most of the responses say not too but everyone is different. My best advice is to stop fighting your natural curls and cut your hair shorter. It will never be straight [unless you have that Japanese thingy]. Learn to work with what you have. I had long, big frizzy Diana Ross hair until I was about 20. I had years of braiding, slicking it down and trying to flatten it out. All my friends had straight hair, it drove me crazy. No matter what I did, it never looked right. Long story short, I lost a lot of hair from taking a new medication and got it cut off about chin length. Most of my hair came back later, but what a REVELATION!! If I had known how great short hair is I would have done it years ago. It's much curlier now that it is short and no frizz. I just wash, condition, let it dry, brush and go. Just think, no blow-dryers, no flat irons, no hot rollers and no more frizz. Do I miss my long hair? Sometimes, for about 5 minutes and then I remember how much trouble it was. The ancient Greeks believed that having curly hair meant you were blessed by the gods. Who are we to say they're wrong? Love your curls!

DO NOT BRUSH YOUR HAIR! it will ruin all of the curls and make your hair VERY frizzy. its most likely that the parts of your hair that were braided, but like wrapped around your head to the back, are goinbg to be straighter. you can brush this part, but very softly. just so it doenst look messy. ok now, back to the smaller hairs. just simply gel them down, but don't put too much, it'll look bad. TA-DA! you are good to go!

We started using Feria hair conditioner (only sold at Sally Beauty supply and similar stores). It's in a tube and is usually with the Feria hair coloring items. It has made a HUGE difference and has taken all the frizz out of her hair. We also just found a "wet to dry" hair straightener at Wal-Mart which does a great job. There are little holes on top that let the steam out as the wet hair goes through the straightening plates. It saves a lot of time because we can skip the blow drying step.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dealing With Frizzy Hair Post by Justanothercowgirl (28) | (11/21/2005) Contact I am a salon owner as well as a hairstylist. Here's what I tell my customers that ask. First off, as you have already been told, don't shampoo everyday. Go as long as you can without it looking yucky. When you do shampoo, only do it once, hair doesn't usually need to be done twice, the shampoo companies just want you to use more product. So..one shampoo, lots of gentle scrubbing, rinse, rinse, rinse put on your conditioner do whatever else you need to do in the shower and rinse your conditioner out very last. It is also important to gently towel dry your hair, doing it roughly will just add to your problem. Then I would use a leave-in conditioner. After that if you can do it I would let it dry on it's own before using your flat iron but if you have to blow dry I would use a styling product that is for use with hot styling tools. When you blow dry start by drying the roots by lifting the hair and directing the heat at the roots first. When that is dry then start on the shaft of your hair. Work small sections at a time directing the heat from root to end in the same direction as the cuticle of your hair for a smooth finish. When it is dry I would also apply the heat styling product again before using your flat iron. When you are done you would also benefit by lightly spraying with a finishing spray. I don't think you need to have a zillion products nor expensive ones to get good results. Thermasilk is a good non-salon lineup of products, Suave has good inexpensive products, Matrix which is salon product has the sleek lineup of products that work wonderfully. I would also say that you don't need to use gobs and gobs of product on your hair, it will just get dirty quicker. I hope this helps. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dealing With Frizzy Hair Post By Karm. (Guest Post) (11/20/2005) Well, I also have long wavy (not curly) hair, and I agree with the most who said DO NOT SHAMPOO EVERY DAY! Shower as you need, but only shampoo when your hair looks greasy. shampoo strips your hair of natural and healthy oils that strengthen your hair. Conditioning can only replace so many of these. Also, put your hair in a braid or bun (not too tight) while you sleep and you won't need to brush your hair in the morning... the added wave from the braid also helps disguise any frizzies that I couldn't conquer...

I have to ben at the waist and throw my hair over my head and just rub my palms together to spread the serum out,and rub it all in my hair..I get another squirt and work in different spots....Then I throw my hair back over,and do it 2 more times.Thats 4 total rubs,lo,...DO NOT dry hair with dryer.Let dry,and it will help if you put your hair in a ball at the base of your neck and secure....even wet if you want.this gives it more bounce!!! I promise you,the next morning when you run your FINGERS through your hair,you will tell the difference!!

I hot oil periodically, also do a mayonaise condition when its real bad....i take mayo, oil an egg mix it all up put it on the hair all ove(its gross but works) then make a "doo rag" out of a platic bag, I leave this on for AT LEAST AN HOUR to let it absorm then wash a bunch of times...also if I am feeling indulgent I use my "stash" of nexus Karafix...it works wonders but is 18 dollars a bottle(not so thrifty) . I comb w hile the conditioner is in, then rinse. I towel dry it then put in gel and when its getting dryish but still wet I use rave or white rain aersoal hairspray scrunch and separate and then spray agian when dry( i live in fl so humidity is year round almost) also DO NOT BLOW DRY i have blow dried my hair about 3 times in the last 10 years...it kills frizzy hair! when I blow dried my hair was a mess, even if i get an urge to flat iron my hair, i let it dry natural first and then do that...... anyway sorry so long!

There is a shampoo and condition, plus an oil and a humidity spray. It is the BEST thing I have ever come across. The products are expensive, but they work! I wash my hair every other day. The products keep my hair straight, soft and best of all... not frizzy. There is a "Sleek" knockoff product made by Suave now. I've used both the shampoo and conditioner and I don't think they work nearly as good as the Matrix products. They definitely don't leave my hair feeling softer than the Matrix products do.

I have naturally curly hair and I only shampoo every 2-3 days. A good tip to help your hair look and feel "cleaner" longer is to only apply your conditioner to the mid-shaft and ends of the hair. You should not apply conditioners or smoothing serums to the root/scalp area. Smoothing serums are awesome. There are several out there...I think I've used them all. I'm stuck on Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum. I LOVE it! It doesn't prolong my drying time at all and isn't too heavy. Always remember, when it comes to serums, a little bit goes a LONG way! Your shampoo and conditioner may be cintributing to the problem as well. If you're using something "over-the-counter" you may want to rethink that. Professional hair products are pH tested...which is a very important factor in preventing frizz. They are also concentrated so you don't need to use so much of them. "Over-the-counter" styling products have the same problem, as well as high alchohol levels and other ingredients that can stir up frizz in the worst way! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dealing With Frizzy Hair Post By Cindy in AL (Guest Post) (09/23/2005) I went to the hair dreser and she used a Anti-frizz serum. I don't want to say what the serum looked like. I loved it. I did not buy the one at the salon but I did get one at the Commisary, John Frieda Frizz-ease Hair Serum. The key to using it to it's fullest, was putting it on wet hair, the directions said do not towel dry hair and they meant it. I had shorter hair at the time. Also, plain hand lotion in your hair after it is dry is amazing. It gives it a "natural day old look" is what I call it. I just rub lotion in my hands and the leftover goes on my hair. Start in the worst places. My crown is the worst place for me. It does take some experiementing. Too much and it looks like you stepped under a oil shower. I used this when my hair was long.

I just started straightening my hair and found out that is looks the best on the third day! Of course I shower and wash my face every day, but I don't get my hair wet. Then, I can just touch it up with the straightener if I have to. Also, I tried using a TINY bit of castor oil. That works really well but can look greasy if I use too much. Also, I use the straightening conditioner again as a "gel" when my hair is wet. If I have to wet it before the third day, I just use conditioner instead of washing it, and that really cuts down the frizz, too.
