My shampoo isn't working anymore. Any suggestions for fine, curly hair that is prone to frizz.

I am currently using an Aussie shampoo, but it isn't really working anymore. My hair doesn't feel that great and seems to get oily again very quickly. I am looking for something that will give volume to fine hair, not weigh it down but also work on curls.

Quite happy to pay a bit more for the right product.

John Frieda's Frizz Ease - the shampoo and conditioner are great, as is the serum.

You know somebody is going to recommend the 'no poo' method, don't you?

second john frieda's frizz ease, have started using it a few weeks ago, and there is a definite improvement.

Another one for frizz ease here, hate using anything else now! Was on 3 for £10 in Morrisons at the weekend too!

Have you tried what DD and I call 'pink glop' from Boots?

It is a sort of leave in styling/ conditioner thingy in a round tub, works a treat, costs buttons and smells gorgeous.

Cant remember the exact name, and am in bed with rum, so not getting up to look...might have 'creme' in the title

Another vote for frizz ease. I use the one for straight hair even though my hair is quite curly as it seems to relax the curls a bit and I look less like a poodle when caught in the rain!

I use Redken shampoo and conditioner for curly hair but I have to change products regularly. I've never been particularly impressed by Frizz Ease shampoo and conditioner but I have used their styling products.

I think before you change shampoos you need to deep cleanse your hair because it sounds like it might be suffering from a bit of product build up. Boots do a build up remover shampoo which is cheap and works! You only probably need to use it once a month. Try that and then see how it is.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have picked up the frizz ease shampoo for curly hair. I suspect that the 'build-up' suggestion might be correct. I couldn't see a build-up removing shampoo when I dashed into boots, but have taken the step of not using conditioner for a while, just the frizz-ease shampoo and a bit of serum on the ends. My hair definitely feels lighter and 'cleaner'. Will see how it goes.

Pantene clarifying shampoo big and cheap use it once in a while and your shampoo will work well again

i have fine wavy hair that gets weighed down with build up. I now do a rinse once or twice a week with a splash of cider vinegar in a jug of water and it's made a big difference to my hair. It really has improved the condition.

buzzandwoody I use that Boots detox shampoo. It's soooo good. I use once a week and my hair then feels so clean!

I have similar hair. The hairdresser recommended Kerastase Bain Age Recharge, it is expensive but I am desperate so bought it. It does seem to help. Going to try Queenrollos vinegar rinse too.

Try living proof. It does not use silicone. Silicone builds up in the hair & you will love the results at first but unless you clarify it out the hair will just become coated & the result is not good. A lot of colourists won't touch hair with a build up of frizz ease & or pantene as the tint won't penetrate properly & you can get a very patchy result.
