I want great hair

[catweasel44]

Help me please. I've decided that I need to have good hair.

I've never really bothered before but I need to take better care of myself and take a little bit more pride in my appearance. Up until now I've washed and left it to it's own devices.

I do have it cut and coloured about every 10 weeks but I never use any products.

I have good hair in that it's thick and shiny but can easily get very heavy - wavy rather than curly.

On the downside, it gets very fluffy on the top of my head so I always look a bit fuzzy and unkempt.

I'm convinced there must be a product that I can use that can instantly transform me into a show pony. However I got so confused by the products aisle I left in a panic.

Please tell me what it is.

I shall remain fuzzy

I’ll join you in your quest, I was googling today how to avoid the frizz halo and found that:

-A little bit of hairspray on a toothbrush to help fly aways
-not wrapping hair in a towel after washing to avoid breakage
-only brushing with a wide tooth comb when wet

[MrsGrindah]

Can I join? My hair is absolutely shit...had it cut a week ago and same shit only shorter! Fine dull dry frizzy flyaway and wavy! A “ friend” actually asked me if I ever used conditioner.....

Moroccan oil.

[MrsGrindah]

I find Moroccan oil too heavy and stinky though ....

[Hownow39]

Also maybe try a roller brush thing

It's less damage than straightening and it gives me a blow dry effect.

Use
Morrocan oil after washing when damp and brush through with a wide comb.

I don't use the air brush from wet I would say from dampish hair.

[Hownow39]

You can get a light version.

I used to use

www.superdrug.com/Organic-Root-Stimulator/ORS-Olive-Oil-Nourishing-Sheen-Spray-472ml/p/579767?gclid=Cj0KCQiA2Y_UBRCGARIsALglqQ3OVrucnt4hnOOsKiTznkt204PQ-rsEEuqWI0enxATlQLMbHs2xNnEaAnuPEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=COP-rMaUptkCFYiv7Qodq3wIWQ

Makes hair very shiney looking. Don't go OTT tho or you will have lego hair.

Use straighteners.

[madmomma]

If there's an aveda counter near you pay them a visit. Their hair stuff is fabulous and they should be able to advise.

Get a Tresemme air styler - it is an air brush but doesn't rotate but smooths and adds shine and bounce.

[ContraryToPopularBelief]

Get a Keratin Blow Dry!!! Expensive (and takes 3 hours to do) but so so worth it. I wash it twice a week, blast it dry and it's straight, shiny and not frizzy. Bliss.

Sodium Laureth Sulphate is terrible for wavy or curly hair. If you cut out silicones in conditioner you don't need sulfates to wash them out. So, I would try a sulfate-free shampoo and silicone-free conditioner together.

[NewMummy579]

I invest time in my hair once or twice a week then it takes care of itself the rest of the time! Wash/good conditioner mask then blow dry and straighten - takes a good hour from washing to finish. Then in the morning, and following morning, it's needs a quick 2 mins with the straighteners and a scoosh of dry shampoo, if needed. If I curl it with straighteners in the morning (pretty quick to do once you get the hang of it) the next day it still has a wavy kink that's nice in a pony tail. I couldn't be bothered washing/styling and using products every day. But it's pretty thick so get away with not washing everyday!

[catweasel44]

Ooh this is excellent. Thank you all.

I have straighteners but I don't use them as I panic about the house burning down and also they make my hair a bit flat. I have used them to straighten the edge of a pillow case though.

I've bought some hair oil. I think I need to experiment with the doses.

Get some Revlon Uniq One. It’s transformed DD’s knotty, crazy hair and smells amazing. I have the red one.

[LikeSilver]

Have you tried Living Proof’s Healthy Hair? Not cheap but I only need a tiny bit and it’s great for my thick wavy hair.

[ProjectGainsborough]

My holy grail is Kerestase masque - masque intense? The orange one. Makes a massive difference to frizz!

[sportyfool]

Regards to worrying about the straighteners . When you have finished and turned them off take a pic on your phone of them being off. Then you can refer to it when you have a panic ...


Can you post a pic of your hair so we can see what might work?

I use urtekram organic rose shampoo and my hair has gone from crystal tipps www.google.co.uk/search?q=crystal+tips&client=tablet-android-lenovo&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi1ibbw46jZAhUEY1AKHVQ3D0IQ_AUIESgB&biw=962&bih=601#

To long corkscrew curls. It's amazing and a reasonable price

[FabalaTheGreenGirl]

There is a forum/site called "longhaircommunity" and it is a bit weird but they do have very good hair advice on there.
