what hair products?

Question

i have long thick hair. when i wash it and let it dry naturally it becomes pretty wavy, but as soon as i take a brush to it, it looks disgusting, frizzy and messy, if i brush it first and then let it dry it looks less wavy and messy. if i blow dry it it dries out and is frizzy and still messy looking. only if i straighten it does it look decent, and after awhile it frizzes out and looks pretty dry. what kind of products could i use (brands would help too) that could help me a achieve either a nice wavy or straight look, the other thing is i use very generic cheap shampoo and conditioner because i'm unsure of which would be best for my hair...any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

i love redken products!!!
they have a great kind of survey that you can take and they will show you which products would be right for you depending on your answers to the questions.

Redken has a great line of products called fresh curls, which helps "control frizz, define and moisturizes curly hair". Within that line is a shampoo, conditionor, anti-frizz scruncing spray, anti-frizz shiner, and leave in detangler.
heres a link to the website:

if your hair is dry i would recrommend using the redken extreme rescue force, I LOVE it!! It is a leave in conditioner that you leave in towel dried hair for 5-15 minutes. It helps to strengthen and moisturize your hair.

some of the redken products could be a little spendy so if you dont want to spend that much i would also recommend pantene pro-v products.

they also have a line just for curly hair.

if you would like your hair to be straight make sure you put some type of protection in your hair before blow drying or using a flat iron.
The pantene pro-v frizz control straighting creme works good.

Hope it helped! Good Luck!

Answer 2

First start with pantene pro v new shampoo called texturize. It will give your hair a good strong cuticle to work with and smooth it down (follow with any conditioner you would like) then let air dry as much as possible, while wet put in a texturizer like Paul Mitchell, or if you have a lot of money use Aquage. Then, when dry spray with a hot iron spray (any will do) and hot iron it with a ceramic gold plated hot iron. (Chi is a great brand, but expensive) then follow with Victoria Secret's Very Sexy. If you have the money use the entire line of Victoria Secret's hair products for sleek hair, and buy a Chi hot iron.

I swear by Matrix products. You can use the serums ... or the deep moisture masque. I have wavy hair and if I do not put product in it then it is just WAY out of control!!! Try the smoothing shampoo and conditioner. Hope this helps!!

Answer 4

Hi! I would definitely go on www.herbalessences.com! They have tons of shampoos conditioners and hair products that work great and smell great! Trust me I had a friend that had frizzy hair and she went on line to herbal essences and she found a product that would work great on her and ever since she bought it for her, her hair looks GREAT! I know that you will be happy with herbal essences! I hope that helped! ( I tried a hair product of there's too and my hair curls great than it did before!)

Answer 5

use the garnier sleek and shine system. the serum itself is really good on wet or dry hair and can be used as a protectant before you straighten your hair.
