Frizzy hair, HELP !!

[smiles4u]

Hi all,


I'm hopin som1 can help !!


I av fine curley salon highlight coloured hair. And it's always bn dry & a bit frizzy BUT the last cpl of mths I av noticed it is jst gettin much more frizzy.

I use 2 use a moisturising mousse from Priceline I think it ws called Revita somethin ?? My hairdresser got me on 2 it BUT it jst got way 2 expensive 4 me as I ws goin thru a can in about 3wks. So, I started using the Priceline one called Revitalising Mousse (a lot cheaper), it's not quite as good but ws helpin

Well, my prob is my hair has become very frizzy. Nothin I use seems 2 help now !!

I kno I can't afford the 2 buy the salon shamp & cond's like I did b4 wen I ws wrkin full-time but now I'm a stay-at-hm Mum wt my 20mth old bub. My hairdresser helped recommend wat ws the best out of the cheap shamps & conds in Priceline, etc... but I don't think they r helpin wt the current dryness & frizziness these days

My question is Can any1 suggest a good hair product 2 help wt the de-frizzin ... And can U suggest a shamp & cond 4 my type of hair that's not 2 expensive ???

PLEASE HELP ... And a huge "THANKS" in advance

Im a hairdresser but I cant really give any advice on cheap brands most I have tried dont work like they are supposed to. If you are in Melb PM me & I can let you know where there are hairdressing wholesalers and you can get around 25-50% off on Salon brands. The shampoo & conditioner I recommend is around $30 - $40 for the pair but I find it lasts 4-6 months and the serums & sprays cost around $15 - $30 but they also last a long time.

Hi there Sal,

... thanks heaps 4 that !!

I live in Ballarat (actually met my 1st BB member who lives here 4 1st time last week - :woman: Kass20, such a gorgeous & fun gal. I'm double her age BUT we get along brilliantly, tho I am young at heart. And wat a cutie her bub is ) ... and yeh, I head down 2 Melb once in awhile ... we moved here from Melb jst ova 3yrs ago so our friends & family are all over Vic.

Often head to DP folks about every 2mths who live sm town called Nyora (Gippsland). We now bypass where u live in Pakenham.

If u gave me the names & addresses of hair product wholesalers am I able 2 go in myself ?? I thought only hairdressers can go in ??

... Also mite help if I ask u wat hair products u wld recommend 4 my hair type as mentioned in my previous thread/post ??

Thanks tons & hope 2 hear frm U

dont know if this helps, but i have really curly frizzy hair, and the only thing that settles it down (if im wearing it curly - i use different products if im strainghtening..anyway) is pantene daily leave in conditioner. i just put about a 10c piece worth in my habds and rub it through, and leave it and my curls are nice and smooth and defined when it dries...sorry if thats not what you were after...

there are only 3 things that have ever worked on my frizzy hair - frizz ease hair serum (bout $25 for 50 mL) or Olive Oil (bout $25 for 5litres!) or sweet almond oil.

the trick is to learn just how much to use so your hair doesnt go all funny and oily - you need to use just enough.

after a few goes i am sure you will be fine - almond oil is now my favourite - i can straighten my hair and people comment on how lovely and healthy it looks! or curl it up with the diffuser and it looks just fantastic.

stronlgy suggest Sukin shampoo and conditioner - best i have ever used.

I have been a hairdresser for 12 years. i warn against using olive oil it has been known to cause scalp problems if u use too much.

i would find a local hair suplyer get them to send you a list of their products or a catalogue, tell them your a hairdresser new in the area (what are they to know, they prob wont even ask) and find out if they deliver, if you have hairdressers in the area someone must suply them, and get it delivered to your door, my sister does this all the time you can buy awsome shampoo and conditioner and moisterisers in bulk mine lasts me almost 2 years.

buying cheap moisteriser wont do anything esp if you are using crappy shampoo and conditioner. the cheaper professional brands are better than all the supermarket ones.

oh and i like the CPR phase 1. to either leave curly or straighten it. i hate all the oils and never use them not even on clients. just get a normal hair shampoo (cause you have fine hair) and a deep moisture conditioner (for the curl) and keep it off your scalp remember using more conditioner doesn't do a better job just is a waste of product.

Good luck
