Answer 1

I would recommend not using shampoo at all, and if using straighteners using a small amount of coconut oil on the hair beforehand to protect and condition.

I would also recommend looking into your diet as dry damaged hair can be a sign of poor nourishment, your hair is dead cells however it starts of as living cells within the follicle and so if your health is poor either through diet or other health problems this will effect the condition of your hair.

Shampoo strips your hair of its natural oils, the oils that are produced by your body to keep your scalp and hair healthy, if you go shampoo free your hair will be a lot healthier so look better, need cleaning less often and also be easier to manage, so in turn easier to straighten as well as helping prevent split-ends.

Shampoo is very harsh on your hair, this is why we have conditioner to cover the damage, and also why you need to wash your hair as often as you do because the oils from the conditioner don't last very long and need to be replenished, your hair can also get greasier quicker because your body has to compensate/over compensate for the loss of natural oils.

Shampoo also contains mineral oil which is a by-product of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil, it's added to create artificial shine by coating the hair, and this also makes your hair weaker and more prone to damage.

As well as this commercial shampoos contain all sorts of ingredients that are bad for your general health as well as the health of your hair, skin irritants and paraben’s.

If that's not enough then add to that the fact that shampoo is expensive and many manufacturers support unethical and cruel animal testing.

You can go shampoo-free, this allows for your natural oils produced by your scalp to care for your hair, making it less prone to breakage.

If you have curly hair you can just use conditioner on its own, natural conditioners such as those found at Lush or Neal's Yard would be best for your hair, but any conditioner will do.

A lot of people use no-poo methods such as using baking soda and apple cider vinegar, but for curly hair the curlygirl philosophy is the best to use - http://motowngirl.com/no_shampoo.php

I'd recomend you get yourself the book Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey as well - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0761123008/202-2911417-2461432?v=glance&n=266239&s=gateway&v=glance

Answer 2

I would agree with Kenzie and say that the Aussie shampoos have saved my life. I use miracle moist shampoo and 3 minute miracle conditioner. After washing my hair I comb it through then hang my head upside down and scrunch it all over, then I wrap it in a towel for about 15 - 20 minutes while I do my make-up. After this time I take the towel off, and scrunch it all over again, then leave it to air dry, scrunching it every now and again. Once it is dry, I apply a golf ball amount of mousse (I use Umberto Giannini Curl Friends) and tip my head upside down and then blow dry it with a diffuser attachment. Once it is dry then I spray it with a light mist of hair spray while my head is still upside down, then flick my head back up the right way, it looks a bit puffy at first but it settles once the hot air has left it! It leaves me with glossy and supported ringlets at the front and non-frizzy curls and waves all over the rest. If you follow the advice of the people saying not to wash your hair it does work, but for around 2 months your hair will stink to high heaven like a manky sheep.

Answer 3

John Frieda Serum - after washing your hair, wait for/blow dry your hair to be nearly dry but still alightly damp - trust me on this one, even though the directions tell you otherwise. Squeeze some serum onto your hands, add a touch of water and run hands together and gently work through your curls. You'll get glossy hair and still maintain those lovely curls.

Answer 9

Have same problem with the added joy of thick, coarse hair that is dry -- let your hair air-dry as much as possible (other advice you've gotten so far is good too). Also, if you use a straightening implement (that is the ONLY thing that makes my hair look great every time) invest in one with stone instead of metal. They are more expensive but oh so much healthier for your hair -- they restore shine instead of dry your hair.

Good luck!

Answer 10

Hi the only way to get it frizz free and smooth is to use hair straighteners, make sure you get a decent pair with high heat because if you get ones that are not high tempereture you they wont smooth it out and damage your hair. I use GHD, but i Also have a pair of Kodo and their just as good. Vidal Sasson ones are good also. Make sure you use a leave in conditioner and heat protection spray before you blow dry and heat protection spray before you strighten as this will help it to shine and prevent it drying out.
