Can you afford to buy a decent straightener? That will take off the frizz and smooth your hair. Also make sure your shampoo and conditioner is moisturising. I have frizzy hair and changed to one that makes a big difference to the texture of my hair when combined with blowdrying and straightening so i don't need to use much product at all on it

I have curly frizzy hair but I don't straighten it. I find 3 things helpful in keeping frizz away. 1. don't blowdry (of course if you want to straighten your hair that may be hard...) 2. use a good product after washing to help weigh down your hair. I use an organic leave in conditioner that is like a thick cream. 3. Wash less. Frizzy hair actually needs oil. So I was told by hairdressers to wash my hair once weekly. Once I started doing that, my hair texture improved greatly.

Having said all of that, I don't blow dry or straighten, so I can't help much with that side of things.

Very good advice there. Does your hair have a natural curl (albeit a frizzy one)? And do you want to wear your hair curly, or dead set on straight? I find that nturally curly/frizzy hair doesn't really need the shampoo (common misconception that not usig shampoo makes your hair 'dirty'). I stopped shampooing my hair a while back and stuck only to a conditioner and a deep conditioning treatment, and my hair has never been softer/less frizzy/more managable. I still give it a good scrub in the shower, but only use the conditioner. I wear my hair curly after years of attempting to keep it straight, it looks fantastic, although you could just use conditoner and straighen, it just makes our hair type so much healthier iykwim?

GHD saved my life. Topped off with some anti friz serum and you're set.
It's a great investment.

Do you colour your hair? When I was lighter my hair was drying with each colour. Now I'm darker and my hair hair returned to shiny and soft. I also get a treatment with each colour. Also, the hairdressers have changed their product to organic and the colour lasts longer!

There is a product called moroccan oil and I swear by it in my hair salon it works wonders in dry frizzy and curly hair and also straight and frizzy hair! You can also add it to your conditioner to make a treatment use it after straightening for a sleek shiny look and before blowdrying and straightening Also if you colour your hair you can have it added into any hair colour to protect the hair and add shine

thanks for that
alot of people add back more conditioner or oil but i find it makes the hair look stiff or oily then too soon after washing

i went to my hairdressor who put some serum into my hair and it did make it so much nicer immediately. she said other oils stay on the surface but this one is absorbed intot he hair. so maybe its a bit similar to what you are talking about

hair house warehouse sold me a fortune in shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner.

i havent tried them yet

thanks so much

Do you want your hair straight all the time? If so, I can recommend a straightening processed called Latino - Google 'latino hair straightening'.

A few of my friends have had it done. It keeps your hair straight for about 3-4 months at a time. And this is not like the old school chemical straightening, it is a protein treatment - their hair is very soft and shiny.

It is expensive but one of my friends had hair like yours all her life, but very 'fluffy' too and we cannot believe the difference.

She's going to have it done for the second time in a few weeks because it does wash/grow out but the more you have it done, the longer it lasts.
