Please rescue my dry frizzy hair before I chop it all off :-)

I'm in desperate need of a decent conditioner. Or anything that might rescue my dry hair. I swear it sparks when I walk!

This is an ongoing project - here's the running total so far based on bottles lying around the house and / or purchases in living memory. I have shoulder length wavy / curly hair. It occasionally behaves, but just looks and feels dry dry dry:
Gone for the 'no poo' approach. Just conditioner. Minimal use of hairdryer. No tongs, hot stylers etc.
Argan Oil
Moroccaon oil
Elvive extraordinary oil
Tresemme conditioner for dry hair
Tresemme deep conditioner 5 minute job
Aussie miracle rescue
Naked leave in conditioner
Boots curl creme
Body shop grapeseed curl boost
Body shop coconut cream
Setting lotion (for a failed shot at sockbun curls)
Frizzease products

Okay so I know this is a mix of conditioner and styling products. I don't mind trying either, but if you can help me narrow down the search to something that might work, that would be looooovvveeerrrrlllly. Would be lovely to have proper hair this summer. Envy

Not my review but think it would be perfect for you to try.

Wow - thank you for all the replies. Lots to try, and especially thank you for the ideas that would never have crossed my mind. There are some things on this list that I've not come across before, so plenty to be going on with. I'll not get the scissors out just yet!

Coconut milk canned works fab too. It great cus its so cheap simple and works. Open can take out top thicker layer if yourlucky enough to have it unshaken (if not use just use the liquid). Massage into hair, wrap or shower cap, 20min -2 hours. I sit watch a movie and then shower out. Its normally about £1 and i get it from a local carribean shop but i guess tescos do it too.

Oh you can add tbsp of honey to it which does good for hair and fresh lemon juice will help with dry scalp and promote hair growth , as will massage it in to the scalp.

stevie no the coconut oil won't make your hair greasy, but you have to shampoo twice the next day to ensure its all out

and as others have said you can also use a little bit on the lengths and ends like you would a serum

Might sound daft but were you using enough Argan oil? I don't need a lot but I'm sure not everyone's the same...

I agree coconut oil is good but do prefer almond oil... However in the end always go bak to Argan! :)
