This weather is not good. How are fellow frizzers coping?

GHD hair straightners is how.

i have a lot of grey in my hair, which is wiry and coarse.

GHD is about the only thing that works.

Badly......but thanks for asking

I have never solved my frizzt hair - I want to cut it...but not sure what style

Never heard of keratase

NKF · 27/10/2007 21:38

I saw an ad for Kerastase today. And it has some sort of anti frizz products. And there are salons. But not sure if it's just plain old shampoo. I don't think I'd get on with straighteners. I've tried to blow dry my hair and it never worked.

I'm too lazy for straighteners

I wnat to get up brush it and wander off - not spend 20 mins titivating it

NKF · 27/10/2007 21:49

Me too. Run my fingers through it, shake my head and voila. In my dreams.

I hate my hair - sorry but I do

I want easy hair

Katymac · 27/10/2007 21:55

Sorry I didn't mean to hijack you thread

It's just a bit of a sore point atm

NKF · 27/10/2007 21:56

Same here. I feel your pain!

Mine is shoulder lengh and kinda loose curly/occasionally frizzy/going grey

I could have it cut - might look more profesional - but it can't take me any time to do

I think my only option is very short - which annoys me

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 27/10/2007 22:00

Even straighteners can't sort my hair. And it's pointless anyway 'cos a bit of damp in the air or a little sweat on my brow and I'm back to Crystal Tips.

I'm currently using a good dose of curl cream followed by a a dollop of serum and enbracing the curl. Failing that a bag on my head

NKF · 27/10/2007 22:00

Why not pin it up. Lots of nice hair accessories in the shop. Leave a few curls out. Could look pretty.

Curls are lovely. But frizz is well, just frizz. I don't want bone straight hair. I just don't want a wiry bush.

Gosh, that sounded a bit obscene.

Katymac · 27/10/2007 22:02

When it's just washed it falls down

I could go with the bag thing too

I know I'll start a thread about my hair too

I;ve used Kerastase before (the green one - strengthening or something) and it made my hair fall out! Now, this is just my own personal experience but I will not be using their products again!

Frizz-wise, I don't have alot of frizz but my GHDs keep any attempt by my hair to frizz at bay. That and a good heat protection spray (paul mitchell heat seal on wet hair, GHD hair oil for use with GHDs)

If you can't get on with giving your hair a good blow dry or invest in GHDs, then even if you do get a good anti-frizz styling regime (I.E shampoo, conditioner and product) you may just end up with hair that's laden down and dull?

Kerastase is definitely worth a go, the orange bottled products are for frizzy hair. Best discuss it with a good hairdresser that stocks various expensive products like Kerastase. I´ve used it for years quite happily, though it is expensive.

jeangenie · 28/10/2007 22:34

don't know about kerastase but I do know that since I have started using john frieda frizz ease curly range about 4 weeks ago I am loving the curls (and this is from a woman who has HATED her hair forever!) I have always straightened in the past and it was a pain and wrecking my hair
now I wash every day (used to only wash twice a week as hair was so dry from straightening - and also it meant I only had to straighten twice a week) with the curly shampoo, condition every other day with curly conditioner, every other day with the deep restoring cnditioner in same range, use a dollop of FrizzEase serum when hair wet and a good spritze of curl enhanced spray when towel dried. I wind bits around my finger as it dries if I can be bothered (usually on the bus to work). Even DH (who normally hates my hair unstraightened) said (unprompted) that it looked nice. This is unheard of. Try the curly stuff and embrace your inner waves.
ps i also found a hairdresser that I think can cut hair properly, that does help
I do feel your pain - I posted on here myself with almost exactly the same problem not so long ago, and now I feel I have been saved!!!!

I have the Oleo Kerastase range (I think the same as AboutToPop) and I like to use it if I am going out, but that is mainly because I don't like to use the same products day-in-day-out and like to try and recreate that new shampoo feeling.

I have long, really thick, curly hair which is flyaway and I love buying hair products. The best curl/frizz product I have found is from Bumble & Bumble (I think its called Curl Conscious). It is probably as expensive as the similar Kerastatse product but I have found it worked better for me.
