Argan Oil / Moroccan Oil including moisturising shampoo / conditioner

[cantkeepawayforever]

This isn't my usual MN section, so please be gentle!

DD (14) has long, thick hair that can be straight but very easily goes frizzy. It has to be kept long - currently below shoulder blades - and at a single length as she dances and needs to be able to do multiple complex hairstyles.

Its frizziness / wildness has been getting her down, and hairdresser has recommended moisturising shampoo / conditioner, and Moroccan Oil.

This is not my native heath - I'm a 'buy what's on special offer in Tesco, wash, condition and leave to dry twice a week' girl - so can you recommend widely available, not too expensive (as she has a lot of hair, she uses a lot of shampoo / conditioner!) but effective products?

Moroccan Oil is quite expensive - i use it on the recommendation of my hairdresser but I'm not totally convinced it makes enough of a difference to justify the cost.

L'Oréal Elvive do a great one in a dark yellow bottle, it's not Argan oil but it's designed for thick/frizzy/afro hair. It's brilliant!

Also OGX is a great brand, a bit more pricey, but I'm sure they do an Argan oil range. Usually on offer in Boots

I have very thick long curly hair that frizzs terribly. I swear my morracan oil mixed with their moisturising cream, however if you can find it Ouidad are just as good as are deva products. I think if you are mixing then a cream with the oil then it doesn't have to be morrocan oil and any good oil or serum will do.
The other tip is to comb/paddle brush the hair when it is being conditioned and then only use your fingers when dry. Takes some getting used to but it really helps reduce the frizz.

Have you read about the curly girl method? Basically using sulphate free shampoo and silicon free conditioner and minimising washing- just google it but it's recommended for all types of thick/frizzy hair.

I have similar hair and use the OGX one, really like it. I use their shampoo and conditioner. I also use the penetrating oil, I squeeze a couple of drops and run it through my hair before drying. My hair has never been better. I think it's currently 2 for £9 at Tesco, usually £7 each. It's often on offer, I never pay full price.

Thanks so much, all! Might try the OGX one first, then see how things go.

I've just been reading up on non foaming shampoo, as I have thick frizzy hair too and it's always worse after washing with normal shampoo. I'm hoping this is the miracle I've been looking for! I'm going to buy L'Oréal extraordinary oil low shampoo tomorrow. Sorry I can't tell you if it's any good yet but thought I'd share my frizzy haired thoughts!

My daughter has similar hair and we use L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil in Cream 150ml it £4.66 at Superdrug, it lasts so much longer when I rub it in my hands and rub that through her hair rather than her doing it herself. We use Elvive summer saviour shampoo and conditioner which is currently £2.23 each on offer at Superdrug. We tried the Argan oil but find these listed above brilliant and affordable. I buy them online and collect at the shop or free delivery using their health and beauty card.

I buy Arian oil shampoo, conditioner and hair mask for my thick hair at Poundland. Works brilliantly!

Argan, bloody autocorrect.
