Because I couldn't ever do anything with it (mostly because I was never educated about how to) the dryer and straightener have been my best friend. I got married in Oct 09 and knew I wanted my hair curly in the wedding, so I tried to learn how to best deal with my hair. I wasn't going to pay hundreds of dollars for professional help and I didn't want my new hubby touching my hair only to have a handful of ick. In this research, I discovered a product that I absolutely love -- Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness Leave-In Creme. Now, I hate goop in/on my hair. I've tried mousse, gel, leave-in conditioners before and hated them all. I have very fine hair so all of those things just grab on and my hair is a flat icky mess with them. But with this product, I have none of that. I wash my hair in the morning, wring out excess water with my hands, put a little of the leave-in creme in my hands and work it through my hair, wringing out the excess moisture once my hair feels like it is smooth. (I do put a towel on my head as I'm getting dressed to avoid dripping down the back and such but I try not to rub the towel on my head so the product stays on my hair.)<br />I let it air dry and it's great. I can still shape my hair as it dries (to make sure the part is okay and I don't have weird poofy areas) and run my fingers through it without worrying about it causing my hair to frizz up. I'm fortunate enough to work somewhere that I can go in with wet hair and have done this with long hair (half-way down the back) and short hair, and haven't had to alter how I use the product at all. I have recommended it to two of my friends who also have naturally curly/wavy hair that they have a tough time managing. It's to the individual obviously how they like to do things, but I like it as easy and simple as possible and this is it for me. Wash, put in product, let air dry. And it lasts for a couple of days. I don't always get a shower in two days in a row, or if I do, I don't always wash my hair (like you mentioned, I’ve also read that people with curly/wavy hair shouldn't wash their hair more than twice a week because of the chemicals stripping natural oils and working against the natural curl/wave), and sometimes I like the way it looks more on the second day than the first. Since it is only about $3 at Wal-marts or HEBs I thought I would mention this product to you in case you want to try it. <br />And just to let you know, I really enjoy reading your blog. Hope you have a great year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
