Frizzy hair issues

What is the best thing to stop frizzy hair? Tried all the lotions & potions out there but they don't seem to stop the hairs on the top of my head going mad even & doing their own thing.
Also, best way to get heathy shiny hair on frizzy/wave hair?

chop I've tried most of the eco stylers, I like the argan oil one best, it's got a red lid. Don't think there's much oil in it, certainly doesn't weigh my hair down. I don't put it on very wet hair, but use it to tame my hair when it's dry or half dry.

This week I've been trying the Cantu curl activator, I was worried it might be too much as I've had mixed results with shea butter before, but actually I think it's ok.

Lube sounds interesting! What's in it that makes it work?!

I always blow dry my hair but lately I've been finishing each blow dry with a minute on the cold setting. Hair is much less frizzy and sleek. No products.

Does anyone know if there is a Curly Girl friendly Silver/purple shampoo or conditioner please? I had started CG method and was getting great results but I need a "purple" hit once a week to keep the yellows at bay. Used my Bleach London this morning and am definitely taking a backwards step.

Looked at the ingredients and it has some of the no-no sulphates and alcohols so I may have to stop using that particular one. Any suggestions/experiences for alternatives - either shampoo or conditioner?

Curly Ellie is amazing. If transforms my daughter's frizz into beautiful curls.

To those of you using Fairy Liquid or baby shampoo, I've been aware of the Curly Girl thing for about 15 years, it's never completely suited my hair but I have picked up some useful tips along the way. One of those is to use apple cider vinegar diluted 100ml to 400ml in warm water before shampooing when my hair feels like it has shampoo/product build up. It isn't as drying and leaves my hair bouncy and shiny.

I'm interested to see about the Noughty product range - I wish they would bring back the Naked Curl Cream, it's amazing, I stockpiled it when I found out that it was being discontinued and am dreading my stock running out and having to find something new!

I have read this thread, joined the Facebook page, been to Wilkos and bought the gel and conditioner then I started cowashing on Friday.

I started by first washing with washing up liquid and leaving in some conditioner then applying some gel then air dried: I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely my curls looked. I have made up a spray bottle of water and conditioner which I used yesterday morning before I showered again I was pleasantly surprised with how well my curls looked. Now today, although my curls are looking good and there's a little frizz, my hair looks dirty. Is it too soon to cowash. As far as I understand we are only meant to wash once or twice a week.
