Candyfloss hair help!

5 replies

Shenanagins · 21/09/2014 20:01

My hair is very fine but there is a lot of it. The problem is that if I don't straighten it, it will look frizzy and a bit canyflossish, sometimes it will do this a few hours after straightening.

Please help, what can I use to help!

Mine's the same, have just started to use a loreal sulphate free shampoo and conditioner which seems to fight the frizzy quite well, problem is oils or serums make it weighed down and greasy feeling as it's so fine,hope someone else has a solution!

I use sulphate free as well and initially results were good but it has gone back to candyfloss and I hate using straightners all the time.

Have you tried argan oil? The pure stuff, 100% oil, not the stuff that is a combination of oil and silicone. I got some in TK Maxx, and it was about £6, and a bottle lasts a long time because you only need a few drops.

Anyway, I have similar hair to yours, and I find it really helps. I put some on damp hair before blow drying - few drops on my palms, rub together then rub through hair. Then after blow drying, about one more drop, again on the palms, and just smooth down the very ends of my hair.

I've tried loads of conditioners, oils and serums for my dry, damaged and also a bit candyfloss-like hair. What so far has worked best for me is macadamia oil. Sadly the sulphate free products leave my hair too light and flyaway, they're not good on my hair at all...

Aha, turns out that my argan oil isn't 100%. Will try that and the macadamia oil.

I am so fed up of trying products only for nothing to really work - sulphate free shampoo /conditioner, keratase masque, coconut oil, etc and now desperate as I feel as though I'm just throwing money down the drain.
