Thread: frizzy hair

Pantene is a good shampoo, they have different types like for full and think or frizz ease. I would say to use the conditioner all the time after shampooing. The conditioner is an important part when washing your hair. After shampooing, when you apply the conditioner donot rinse all of, leave some of it on.

Have you ever tried those hot oil treatments on your hair? Or carrot oil, olive oils...all those help treat the hair very well and help with growth. They sell those at any hair places or even target.

i like garnier, it makes my hair feel a lot more like...moisturized i guess you could say haha

Thank you for your help and i will try

Sometimes a wash and condition in't enough for your hair. When you think about it you're putting all that moisture onto your hair then washing it off afew seconds later and it dosnt make that much of an effect if your hair is really dry or frizzy.

I think you should go to a hairdresser and ask for a conditioning treatment. I do conditioning treatments on people myself and it does make a huge difference. What this is is just sectioning your hair off and applying a very rich conditioner to the hair and scalp, then it's left on for several minutes. It's alot more effective than just a normal conditioning product at home and dosnt cost much. You could also ask your hair stylist for further advice because ofcourse you can't go in to have a conditioning treatment every single day.

Or you could consider your current hair washing. You're washing it every day - and that takes the moisture out of your scalp. You could try not washing it at all for about two weeks. Yeah, I know that sounds disgusting BUT alot of women do that and it's shown that the hair is left in much better condition after the two weeks is up. The natural oils in your hair build up and coat the hairs to stop frizz, but I suggest that if you want to try this then make sure you don't have to be at any important places for the two weeks - this dosnt work for everybody but it does work for most people. During the two weeks you can rinse your hair with water, but ONLY water to get rid of any oil that you really don't need but make sure you don't scrub your scalp too hard, jsut use a soft circular movement. Then after the two weeks is up wash your hair with a LITTLE shampoo.

Hope that's of some help.

Hi everyone,

Frizz is caused by too much or too little moisture. Burning the hair shaft causes a different type of frizz that krinkles the hair. Shampoo's are strictly for cleansing and herbal shampoos are no better or worse than others. Conditioners do not hold in hair for more than 2 to 3 hours. The key is to block out excess moisture while locking in the essential moisture content. This helps with the elasticity of hair making it more pliable.

Here's what works for me:
DO NOT USE OVER THE COUNTER SHAMPOOS!!!!!!!!
Dandruff shampoos and any shampoo really contain toxins. The most common ones.....sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, any kind of paraben and dye or color. These are added to give shampoos a longer shelf life, to make more bubbles, or to smell or look good. But they are toxins which may cause or worsen dryness, allergic reactions, dandruff, and excema. Even some shampoos at the health food store has some of these ingredients in them. The only line I trust is Aubrey Organics (Love their skin care line too!!) And just try washing hair every 2nd day, let hair dry naturally for awhile before blow drying , always condition, and good luck!!

"The frizzies" is an interesting topic to me. Women try all kinds of conditioners, shampoos and the like and then they go to bed and sleep on a cotton pillowcase. That cotton pillowcase is causing friction that is drying out your hair and scalp. Cotton is also naturally absorbing and it's sucking out the vital moisture that your hair needs to be healthy. You need to switch to a satin pilowcase so your hair will glide across and NOT have the moisture taken out. When you sleep on cotton you face gets stuck in one spot and you wake up with pillow creases on your face. You can buy satin pillowcases in any department store and online. I bought two sets on line at A Touch of Satin - HomeIt's been over a year now since I started using them and they're as beautiful as the day I bought them. My hair and my skin look and feel great. They have an entire page on their website devoted to talking about the benefits of sleeping on satin. I think you'll find the information both interesting and helpful. Like I said, you can buy satin pillowcases anywhere, but I do believe you get what you pay for. I hope this helps!
