I am sick of my thick frizzy wavy mop of hair! I have tried so many of these banish the frizzy, curl smoother shit creams, oils and serums...do any actually work?

I love cantu. Use both the activator and custard daily.

Does anyone with flaky scalp have success with the curly girl method? It seems to bring out the flakes for me, and I have to go back to normal shampoo to stop the itching.

@Lonecatwithkitten mine is the same. My hairdresser says they should market it as de frizzing rather than straightening.

My hair is like this - I do sympathise. Cantu Curl Activator cream is pretty good, and I'd second the advice to limit use of sulfates and silicones if you can. The full curly girl method didn't really work for me, but it might for you.

Anybody know inexpensive high street sulphate/sodium free shampoo and conditioner?
Sorry meant to ask if anybody knows of an inexpensive sulphate/sodium free shampoo/conditioner that can be bought on the high street?

Kerastraight treatment for me too, changed my life. My hair is so frizzy it still curls after the kerastraight, but not as madly.

Frizz is just curls waiting to be unleashed!

Sadly not. I have frizz without the curls. Sad

What happened to Elvive serum? It was great. Cant find anything to equal it.

Nothing worked for me so I splashed out for a Kerastraight treatment. This sounds totally shallow but it's life changing!

wElla straight or loreal xtenso. Lasts a year if done competently. None of the shelf products work , all lies. You can have good looking Curls if you don't mind 30 mins or more of boring work a day. No thanks.

Curls are ugly ageing frizz on me. Can now use a comb and have dropped years. And takes seconds to get tidy, I even wake up tidy.

I never brush mine either- wide toothed comb when wet.

Tried everything and felt the same as you. I now dry my hair straight without any products and after straightening, I get a large blob of conditioner and massage through the midlengths and ends, and then wide comb is thru. Once I've finished putting slap on and getting dressed, I brush my hair and voila, no more frizz all day

Mines mad curly. I just wet it every morning and slap on loads of conditioner, the thicker the better. Keeps perfect curls all day but only if there’s been a week of build up.

Get Kerastraight Treatment at hairdresser. Ends frizz.

I myself have wavy curly (type 2c, but sometimes looks like 3a) hair- both thick and fine and tangles very easily. I never found John Frieda Frizz-Ease make much difference to me. I found success with Naked Bounce conditioner but the price got too high for me, so I now use macadamia oil conditioner from the pound shop. I love it. I also keep my hair to shoulder length and hardly ever blow dry it.

I also like the Aveda serum.

Thanks for your messages...have looked at the curly girl and looks good, however...if you want to straighten your hair, can you? Or do you have to 'start again.. definitely going to cut out sulfates and silicones now though x

Try Redken’s Frizz Dismiss. It works well on my hair.

Curly girl all the way!

There’s a great Facebook group for it. I have THICK curly hair and it is so much more manageable now.

Moroccan oil smells delish but it's just silicones which sit on your hair and weigh it down, doesn't moisturise. Argan oil is the only fifth ingredient in Moroccan Oil hair treatment. Better to buy a cheap 'pure' oil instead (though pure argan oil smells a bit farm like...)

Use an SLS free shampoo and silicone free conditioner and serum/oil- L'oreal Hair Expertise Riche are not expensive and you can get them online
Use a wide tooth comb
Sleep on a silk pillowcase
Try not to touch your hair!

Google the curly girl method and do that. It's worked wonders for my hair. You stop using shampoo and was with silicone free conditioner instead. There's loads of info online about it and a Facebook page.
