[electricblue]

after trying to straighten my curls all my life I finally like them and use thick conditioner to calm the frizz instead

everyone seems to have electrically straightenend hair these days, curls are just a bit different, i think curly hair is nicer

I've got naturally curly hair too and I can't say I was that impressed with the Frizz Ease range. However I love Sunsilk Waves and Curls. It comes in a 200ml green bottle and it's a leave in cream. It cost about �3.50 I think.
When I've washed my hair and its still wet I run this through it and leave it alone to dry naturally. It'll be stiff when its dry but when its completely dry you just squeeze handfuls of your hair and it changes to lovely soft curls.
I get it in Asda. Hope it helps x

oops!...forgot to say - if you're determined to straighten your hair - I found it useful to apply serum to the hair before you use the straighteners.

We have a product at home called: Klorane�s �Vinaigre de rin�age reflets dor�s � l�extrait de camomile. Essentially it�s a vinegar based product. My daughter uses it as a rinse. She always comments with delight how her hair brush effortlessly glides through her hair afterwards and throughout the day, all of her �frizz� is gone.
You can�t buy Klorane products at Boots. However, many independent chemists carry the range. They�re available at Harrods and Harvey Nichols, as well as several of the larger John Lewis stores.

Be well

VV - you're obviously a more up-market person than me! lol!

Oops...that wasn't meant to suggest such a thing. We actually first found the product in Carrefore's...the French equivalent to ASDA! Nope..I'm common as shepherd's pie.... :-)

Many apologies

Fr Bill

ps...but the product jolly well works! :-)

[chicklin]

Don't be so touchy! lol! I was joking....I would never insinuate that a member of the clergy would be anything but humble ;0) ....In truth, I'm so impressed with your description, I'm going to have to posh myself up and go search some out to try for myself....:0)

VillageVicar I am truly amazed at your vast knowledge...lol.

Electric: Thank you for your kind words...I hope it works for you. My daughter loves it. She has just turned 15 and typically, as with all teenagers, she sees flaws that no one else can see.. :-)

We use a couple of other Klorane products as well. There's a quinine based conditioner that gives a bit of shine to our hair...but I also want to add..my favourite is just a 99p bottle of Alberto Balsam Freesia.

My daughter's hair is lovely, as is my son's. So my general thought is ' as long as it works and they're happy.'

Need there be any other reason?

Pussnboots: Thank you for the kind comment. I think it's more a matter of 'a little experience in lots of things, rather than lots of experience in a few things. :-) I've travelled extensively throughout my life. I think that has been the greatest window to life for me. And although there may be some snow on my roof, there's still plenty of fire in my furnace!

Be well
