on 11/18/2008 Olive oil is the answer! I have struggled with frizzy type 2C hair all my life. Now it's seriously smooth and defined! I am so shocked, I just want to get the word out! Just apply it like you would gel; while your hair is still damp. (I use a small palm-ful about the size of a quarter around.) Use it for touch-ups on the days you don't wash. After a few washes; you won't need as many applications or as much oil. You'll see!

on 8/23/2008 I have pretty fried bangs and I found that if you put mayonaise in them it kind of helps take the frizz away.

on 1/21/2008 All of you are not on track. You are all using water soluble products and none of them hold up to humid, cold, dry, rainy or hot climates. I have found the most incredible product ever. I used to hate my hair but now I found the only product that does what it says it will do. Go to www.sabinohair.com and read about Moisture Block. They will even send you free samples.

on 8/13/2006 Tips:
1) Before taking a shower, comb your hair using a wide toothed comb while it is still dry. Doing so will prevent tangles and knots afterward. Hair is at it's weakest when wet, and combing it after the shower further damages it. After your shower, finger comb your hair, gently separating it.
2) You should only wash your hair as often as you need to keep it clean. I suggest, about 1-2 washes a week, unless you sweat and work out a lot, then anywhere from 2-4 washes a week. Remember, when washing your hair, only wash your scalp. Hair doesn't get too dirty, and tousling it around, building up a lather, only serves to damage and tear at the cuticle, possibly making your hair much more frizzy.
3) Leave your conditioner on for a good 5-10 minutes. Wash it lightly, leaving a minimal amount of it left it. If you want, you can blast your hair with cold water to help close up the cuticle, for maximum shine.
4) Run some silicone (anti-frizz serum/creme) in your hair. Too much will make your hair appear greasy, rather than shiny. Apply a bit of mousse, or some gel and distribute it evenly. Afterward, leave your hair alone. Don't touch it, and just let it air dry. Remember, touching hair with anything (finger, cotton, brushes, etc.) will only serve to roughen up the cuticle, damaging it. Luckily, hair products today help mask these problems. NOTE - No hair products will reverse/fix a hair problem such as split ends permanently.
5) To try to prevent frizzy hair from getting frizzier while you sleep, sleep on a sating pillow case. Don't sleep w/ a satin cap on, however, because it cuts off the circulation of air to your hair follicles, possibly stunting hair growth. Cotton pillow cases will cause friction between the hair and the fabric, especially if you move around a lot in your sleep.
6) And a last, important thing to remember. Hair Care products don't have to tell you the truth in their claims. The only thing that has to be true is the product label, which is listed in descending order. Look at that.
You'll notice that no matter what the price of the product is, the other hair-care products, will have almost identical ingredient listings. (Ex. Suave Shampoos, compared to Herbal Essence Shampoos; Patene Pro V Conditioners, compared to Tresseme Conditioners)
For example, in shampoos/conditioners, the first ingredient will almost always be water, making up 75-90% of the product. The next 3-5 ingredients will be about 10-25% of the product. The rest compose less than 1% of the product. These can be listed in any order.

on 8/8/2006 Use Pantene curl shampoo. Then use Pantene curl conditioner. Leave in for 5 minutes and comb (depending on how long/thick your hair is). Rinse. Then use Pantene curl hydrating mask and leave on 5 minutes. Rinse this out completely! Then if you have dry/damaged hair put in Critical Repair and follow directions. Rinse with cold water. Put in Dove intense frizz control creme. Do not rinse this out. Wrap hair in a towel and remove when hair is 95% dry. Do not comb hair when dry. This has worked wonders for my curly/wavy hair and is a great solution. Try it!
