My hair is driving me mad. I try very hard to reduce the frizz - I have flaxseed oil, sleep on the silk pillowcase, don't fiddle with my hair too much and it still is frizzy.
I also want to go greener with products I use. If anyone can recommend styling products that they use that are organic or natural then I'll be very grateful.
Thank you.

| I wish I had an answer for you. I struggle with this daily as well...which product from my arsenal do I put on my hair that day??! I've got gels, mousse's, serums, sprays, etc. I never know what is going to work and of course the humidity each day is another issue to contend with. Yesterday I used a Kenra Mousse and my hair was nice and curly with no frizz, but I know mousse's every day can be drying (from the alcohol content) so today I used something else. I long to find that ONE product that will make my hair curly, shiny, healthy and frizzless! Have you considered going to a salon and having them put a gloss on your hair? This is my next consideration.... |

I have dark, thick and frizzy hair. The product really helps to calm my frizzy hair is Phyto 7 Cream. The product has a plant-based formula with a pleasant smell. I also love its light and non-greasy texture.
I usually use it after shampooing on towel-dried hair and reapply again after blow-drying. It's definitely a secret weapon to keep my hair smooth and shiny! |

| I read a tip about applying jojoba oil to your hair. I just use a few drops before I dry it and it really helps to keep the frizzies at bay. Of course, I use a leave-in conditioner as well, but adding in the jojoba greatly improved the frizzies. |

Here are some things that have really reduced my frizz:
Pre-shampoo conditioner with coconut & palm oil. I try to do this 2x a week. I just saturate my hair for about 30 min then shampoo/cond as usual.
After every shampoo: Garden of Wisdom healthy hair serum with a few drops of meadowfoam oil (you can try other oils too).
But being a product junkie that I am, I am really tempted to try Living Proof No Frizz products (sephora has them). I've read some great stuff about them and apparently they have some new technology that has not been used in hair products before. |

Yet another way to use my jojoba oil! I have been using and loving Sabino's moisture block. It controls the frizzies while holding in the moisture. My hair feels like it's in better condition and shines. A little bitty dab will do you as it is really easy to over dose on this product.
Thanks for the jojoba tip. I sleep with the jojoba oil and my hair is in such good condition. I never thought to use it as a leave-in. |

| I have coarse thick wavy hair and always stuggle with frizzies. I've been using shampoos that don't have sulfates - devacurl and wen. I also immediately put a defrizzer serum or cream on my wet hair as soon as I get out of the shower and before putting it up in a towel. I like John Frieda's Secret Weapon and Philip B's Hair Finshing Creme for after blow drying. I've also switched to tourmaline hair brushes and that helps as well. |

My hair can be a little frizzy and I was considering getting what is known as an "everlasting blow dry". Unfortunately it only last for around 3 months, but there have been some positive articles about it.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-566490/The-everlasting-blow-dry-promises-tame-hair-months.html
I have posted a link for you to have a look at. The downside is the cost - Ł200 a time, but you may be able to get it cheaper if you look around. If i get one I'll let you know what the results are like. |

I forgot to mention the price! $5 a jar. I use it in lieu of conditioner during shampoo but it's supposed to be a deep conditioning treatment. |

There's a product from a company named Sabino Hair Solutions called Moisture Block. I brought the product and let it sit in my bathroom for months.
Then one day I decided to use it. My hair is short so a dimesize amount is plenty. The trick is to really work it throuhg your hair for a minute or two. Then blow dry.
Normally when I would go to work in the morning, the dew or mist would get into my hair and by the time I walked from my car to the office my hairs was done. I used this product and instead of a frizzy kinky mess, my hair just fell to a loser curl, but maintained it's shape and had a lot of body and it didn't lose the movement.
I have been using it every since. I don't know how I came across it, but they have a website. I think it costs about $30. I have barely touched the bottle. Check it out. |

| You have to try the Brazillian Keratin Treatment! Salons do it and some charge up to $400. I was able to get mine for $100 at a salon, which is a really good price. You can read up about it online. Some forms say they have formaldahyde in it, and the they make formulas without it. I would never put something with that in my hair. Just ask the salon, which formula they carry. It leaves your hair really smooth for up to 4 months. It is the best money I have spent, because my hair looks great and blow dries quicker now. |

Callalily,
I can personally vouch that the pictures do not exaggerate. I could not believe my hair when they were finish. I also had my hair dyed and highlighted that day and this was the first time my hair did not break off from the highlights. I have the darkest shade of brown hair you can have, so it takes forever to bleach it to a blonde for highlights, which really stresses it out, but the treatment kept my hair soft and healthier than before I had it done. I really recommend to get it done and if it is too expensive to upkeep at the salon just order it off of Ebay and do it yourself at home. I'd say get it done professionally first so you can see exactly how it is done before attempting it yourself. |

| I have frizzy hair too... if you want a cheap way to maintain your hair, try use two-four tablespoons of olive oil depending on your hair length, wrap with the plastic bag and leave it for 20 min before shampoo... Later, shampoo and condition yourhair like usual... No risk, but your hair will get more moisture... |

I have fine, curly (spiral curls) hair --- on ultra humid days, nothing I do works but for normal days....
I don't use shampoo with SLS. No conditioners with SLS either.
Shampoo every other day. Conditioner every single day, I comb it through my hair and leave it in while I shower.
conditioners I use.... I rotate between SuddzzFX --- which I'm almost out of and it's expensive, probably won't repurchase for a couple months. Lamas Soy Conditioner is absolutely remarkable, available at healthfood stores. Or vitacost for $10. No silicones in Lamas and it's organic. Another conditioner I rotate is Davines, the Love line for curly hair. Their MOMO line is pretty good too, but I avoid their shampoos (contain SLS)
After shower, rinse hair with tepid water.
Comb through jojoba oil, then Lamas conditioner.
I have a large microfiber cloth that I carefully wrap my hair in as I step out of the shower, dry off, apply toner on the face, Vit c on the face, and body oil on the rest of me. By that time, the microfiber cloth has absorbed most excess moisture.
Follow up by distributing some Davines MOMO hair serum combined with Giovanni (very inexpensive) Hair Changing treatment (organic, but contains some petrochemicals). Pat and distribute gently through my hair, turn head upside down and scrunch the curls.
Then the key... DO NOT TOUCH the hair until it dries. Curls are well defined, frizz is at a minimum. Do your best not to disturb your hair when it's at that in-between state between wet and dry.
All these products help keep my curls very well defined and spirally, and even better... Very soft and touchable without that sticky too much product feeling.
A couple times a month, I deep condition with coconut oil and red palm oil... distribute through dry hair (with mine it takes a lot) put up in a turban and leave in overnight. Better than Ojon, at least for me.
Hope this helps,
Athena |

That's very interesting but it sounds quite expensive for something that lasts only 4 months. But then the price of beauty has skyrocketed.  |

| Dang! I've always wanted to go a lot lighter (I'm a fairly dark brown too). I think it's important to experiment and have fun with your look, why not I'm young. A couple of friends have told me they think I should stay natural but why not for once in my life go blonde-ish at least with highlights. I found a guy in Vancouver who does this treatment using an internet search. Glossy hair is a dream especially with a nice soft colour. Oohhh i'm going to have to save. But this is exciting!! |
