I have fluffy type hair and it only ever looks truly smooth if I go to a hair salon
Ive recently had a blunt cut and I would like my hair to look more tidy.
What can I use? I've tried quite a lot of products
Ive also got extensions in to add to the drama

Thank you

‘I do spray my daughter's hair when brushing (daily). Never ever brush your hair dry.’
Yet there are so many articles saying don’t brush wet hair! It’s massively confusing, I just think you need to keep trying out the products that work for you. Not all hair products will suit you, some love coconut based conditioners , mine did but no longer.

Every time I read a thread like this I end up spending a fortune 😂.

I grew out my fringe and can now pull it all back into a bun.

Another vote for the range of Cantu products. Not keen on the smell of the original but it works really well. The avocado shampoo and conditioner one though.... smells like holidays, it's fab!

I know! It entirely depends on your type of hair. Some breaks easily when wet. All my family will brush hair with a damp brush, and that is best for us. But for my DD is not enough. I have to spray it, all over. It does not get damaged. No moisture results in damage, reversible, but you can see that the hair is dry. It looks like heat burnt, like she has been using too hot straighters on it. You would also not believe how much oil her hair can absorb. It disappears. It all depends on which type of protein your hair is made of, and how tight it is. Before my DD I did not know that hairdressing is so interesting. If you cannot manage to find what is best for you, a professional can advice. Also, it can change during your life time indeed.

You don't have to.

Co-wash with ASIAM. It's about £8 or so online and lasts ages
Condition with Cantu cream costs about £6 in Sainsbury's and lasts ages

Don't towel dry - just wrap in towel until not dripping and then add and conditioner to leave in.

Works
