If you style your frizzy/curly hair straight every day...

[MargotMoon]

Please talk to me about your hair care routine!

I've got naturally curly hair and have tried Curly Girl and the whole natural curls shebang with mostly crap results - my curls are very straggly as I have fine hair unless it's very short. I want my hair longer, so am committed to blow drying and straightening pretty much every day.

I use John Frieda frizz ease products (shampoo, conditioner, styling cream before blow dry and a different one after blow drying). I shampoo every 2-3 days and use a bit of conditioner on the other days. My hair dries out at the ends but I get a regular-ish cut.

What do you use that gives good results? And how often do you wash/apply products?

I have curly hair. I go through phases of blow drying every day. When I do I try to leave it as long as possible between washes and use as little product as possible.

I do like elasticizer though and regularly use that when I'm blow drying. I also use dry shampoo on the last day (usually day 3 or 4).

I also still try and use CG friendly products. And I use a lot of conditioner.

Same here, following

Dreamcoat - it's miraculous!

@faustina Wow, looks too good to be true! Do you apply anything else after styling? How long would a bottle last? (On shoulder length hair)

@TwoGinScentedTears
Thanks! I thought elasticiser was for co-washing? Or do you apply to damp hair before you blow dry?

Keratin blow dry - expensive but life changing

I put it in before shampooing and put a showercap on. I leave it for as long as possible before shampooing and conditioning as normal. Makes a huge difference!

Dyson volume and curl set

Best thing ever. I can either dry it straight with the straight brush or volumise with the brush that looks like the babyliss big hair brush. Mines is naturally wavy so I also use the 'tong' (nothing like a tong) to put even, regulated curls in.

I can go from wet hair to salon blow dry in10 minutes. Cant believe how much time it's saving me.

I have decent styling tools - a Dyson hairdryer and cloud nine straighteners. Wash twice a week, but have to straighten every day. The tools really do make a difference to the job and results.

No, nothing else - honestly it is amazing. The bottle lasts ages - months and months. I am on my second bottle and bought it sometime in the spring I think. It only works with heat, so you have to blow dry your hair and/or straighten it with tongs. I used to use Morroccan oil but the dream coat is miles better

Definitely going to give Dreamcoat a try!

Think both the Dysons look awesome but might be out of my price range! Although my hairdryer is ancient... Can anyone recommend a hairdryer which won't break the bank?

Hope you get on with it!

Ooh I need that dreamcoat stuff. The humidity and rain at the moment is messing my hair up so much. Blow dry straight, do the school run and it’s a frizzy curly mess again!

not heard of Dreamcoat, pricey.

I think I have heard of a similar product that's cheaper - can anyone think what it might be? Also something you have to activate with heat?
