Help with hair?

when i wash my hair and it dries, my hair gets poofy and frizzy. i tried antipoof shampoo and conditioner (along with the 24/7 creme it comes with) by sunsilk. i also went onto antipoofhair.com and nothing worked! i'm going to try loreal for kids (tames frizz apparently) tomorrow, but i still want to know if anyone had any poof and frizz busting tips that REALLY worked. i'm not a fan of chemicals and all that jazz, so if you have a safe treatement (maybe even a home remedy!) that really works, i would love to hear it-- even if hair is different for everyone so what worked on you might not work on me. thanks!

I use herbal essence lay it straight....and then i use a flat iron...and if you use some kind of flat iron spray, it won't damage your hair

What type of hair do you have is it course or is it fine? I know my hair is fine and wavy/curly and the way I anti pouf it is why touching up the curls with a curling iron and using a de-fuser when I blow dry my hair...if you have course hair you could always try using a relaxer on your hair (however go to a professional if you plan on doing this) Then use like a anti-frizz balm, I know that cheap products don't work as well on my hair as the ones that are a little bit more costly...its worth it though because its better for your hair.

Try some mousse or gel while it is wet and that should help control frizzies when it dries.

When I was in this phase not not using chemical straighteners, Ion's Straighten Shampoo was a GODSEND. It did not straighten, but it made my hair very manageable and non-frizzy. It's on sale this month at Sally Beauty Supply, lol. Six bucks for a liter, can't beat that. The conditioner, not so much. A good, thick, conditioner works well enough. Also, try glossing polishes/serums. You don't use very much at a time, like a nickel sized drop in your hand. Rub your palms together then finger comb it through your hair. This halts those frizzies and adds a nice sheen to your hair. Good luck!

seriously get something like shine-serum from kenra, or super skinny from paul mitchell.

i know you said that you dont' like chemicals but paul mitchell has been taking steps to become more green, and they donate money to environmentally concerned charities.

if you're concerned about the chemicals being more damaging then you don't have to worry! when you go with a salon level product they dont BS you and put in things like alcohol that are drying and cheap. they use things like sillicon that simply coat your hair to make it appear shiny and smooth and will reduce the frizz.

you might want to try a pomade or a wax if you need to step up the level a little bit on the hold. a good pomade won't make your hair appear greasy (dont put it on your roots). it's really great for styling with out making your hair crunchy too!

You may want to try a professional shampoo that will give your hair the moisture it sounds like it needs. Try products like Self Absorbed shampoo and Moisture Maniac conditioner by Bed Head or All Soft shampoo and conditioner by Redken. There are also products to use after your hair is dry to help tame the frizz. One that works really well, over the counter is, Alberto VO5 hair dressing. I wouldn't recommend using a shampoo for children, they have a very high pH and will only make the problem worse.

i regularly use loreal anti-frizz serum which i find really works. use it after u av washed ur hair and whilst it is still damp. afterwards try to leave ur hair to dry naturally as i find blow drying it will make it frizzier. also use a good conditioner. i use the brilliant brunettes conditioner.

Some brands of shampoo and conditioner actually dry out your hair, like Herbal Essence and Sunsilk. Stay away from them! Instead try Dove, Suave, Garnier Fructis, or if you can, splurge for some of the hair salon brands.

And regardless of what brand of shampoo and conditioner you end up using, try a weekly deep conditioning treatment. Aussie has one that's great! After you wash your hair, massage some of the conditioner in your hair, leave it on for three minutes, then rinse! It really makes a difference - it will make your hair softer, smoother, and less frizzy and poofy.

Other tips:

- Wash hair with cold water because hot water frizzes up your hair.

- Every time you take a shower, leave in conditioner for 2-5 minutes (if you have time) to make it extra soft.

- Use a shine serum on you hair right after you get out of the shower. It will tame your hair and make it shiny!

Good luck!
