Thanks for the ideas girls You reminded me a few products that I have used successfully in the past - the KMS orange curl enhancer one, and a MOP product - water activated conditioner. It was fantastic to put on each curl, then twirl each curl around my finger (sounds weird, but when my hair dried, the curls were curlier and more like thick ringlets). But I might give some of those other products a go too - I'm always on the lookout for the 'perfect' product to turn my hair into Nicole Kidmans' ... or maybe I need a personal hairdresser for that

Mayaness - mine is going through the falling-out period at the moment (DH jokes about the possum I leave in the shower after I wash my hair) - so I'm wondering if it will change at all like yours did.
