I like the aveda curl cream. be curly or something.

or i put frizz ease mixed in with curl cream on my hair wet.

and when time is short and hair a state sometimes I put a bit of hand cream on it.

second for the Aveda stuff and shampoo.

lilacclaire · 04/11/2008 19:48

Depends on how wild your hair is, mine is really thick and coarse and only the mousse would work on it (believe me I tried EVERYTHING else).
Now I just attack it with the ghd's and kid on i've got 'normal' hair.

Orange frizz ease on driping wet hair. It seems to work better than on towel dried for some reason.

My hair is so thick that once, my hairdresser called all of her colleagues over to me and made them look and exclaim over it. That was pleasant.

lol katieScarlett.

I once got that treatment for my difficult hairline

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 04/11/2008 19:51

KS Yes, to fizz-ease, and dripping - when half-dry too late.

KatieScarlett2833 · 04/11/2008 19:52

It was awful. I couldn't do anything but smile and nod because offending her could have been even more disastrous.

PMSL at "difficult hairline!"

harpomarx · 04/11/2008 20:02

my mum has one too, KS - our hairlines have been known to reduce trainees to tears

Second the Frizz Ease on wet hair. Boots Natural Collection jojoba hair serum a good, cheaper alternative. Don't know if they still do it, as it has been a few years since I discovered Asda Curly Locks creme, which is also brilliant in wet hair.

BUT, BEST OF ALL - and this sounds minging but trust me, it works for me - only wash your hair once a week. Or less if you can bear it. Get it wet, condition it, but don't for goodness sake wash it. My hair normally resembles the love child of wire wool and candy floss, but a few days' worth of it's own grease calms it down remarkably without making it stiff or sticky.

This is all fascinating.
I laughed a lot about the hairdressers gathering to gawp at the hair-density & the hairline.

(Once I had some trainee dentists all gaggle all round me for a stare - even teeth aren't as private as hair, are they?)

Thank you so much - this gives me lots to try. Except except perhaps the not-washing - I think I would be too worried about that unrinsed scalp aroma thing?

That's why you need to use hand cream in between washes, it makes your unwashed hair smell positively fragrant. But, use it very, very sparingly.
