Do you have curly hair? What is the one product you just can't live without in order to control your curly hair?
Lately it seems that I couldn't live without my scrunchy/twist-tie, I just pull my hair back every day.
I actually love my curls but they seem to have a mind of their own lately and I wonder if it is time for me to change the products I have been using.

We have been getting alot of rain lately and I just may have forgotten what it was like to deal with humid weather.

What do you use on your hair..... even if it is not curly? I am looking for the best stuff out their.

Hi for my hair I have to use straighteners although I don't like using them all the time since I'm worried about the effects it would have on my hair, but I certainly do prefer my hair straight. Sometimes I leave my hair to dry naturally and it isn't really really curly just a bit wavy however it does get out of control sometimes.

What straighteners do you use? Do you like them?

My sisters have the same hair as you. We aren't sure where mine came from. Thank goodness for being able to pull it back.

I don't have curly hair. But my sister does. She uses a scrunch like you as well. She also can't live without Fruitous garnier shampoo and condioner. She also buy the gels to help control and tame her hair. She gets the kind specificlly made for curly hair.
My hair is naturally straight. It doesn't curl a bit. But I have a real bad problem with frizzyness. I use the same stuff my sister does. But for frinessness control. I also swear by sunsilk shampoo. It has seemed to work the bets fo rme.

You know I am the same way. I used to curl my hair (I have very straight blonde hair), but now I pull it tight in a ponytail with a scrunchy or a ribbon in it, we are so hot in the 94 degrees with 80-100% humidity and very muggy


myLot reputation of 91/100. makingpots (6662)   ranked 394 out of 38,017 in life  3 years ago

humidity is a bad word in my house. My hair goes insane.

My hair is really wavy in the back, almost curly and slightly wavy at the sides but good gosh, let it rain or be humid and my hair is so stringy looking. Ugh! So I use Lots of Curls Gel which I think the number is 8 and it helps tame my hair really well. I love it and have been using it for a number of years now. Try that. It may work on you too.

I have curly hair too, and I used to have a lot of problem with frizz, and I still do if it gets rained on. Usually just humidity won't get it all out of control anymore though.

I use a lot of conditioner, and only wash my hair every other day. (I buy pantene proV) Occasionally I use a concentrated or deep conditioner. I usually use a curl control mousse either by pantene proV or FrizzEase (all their products are great but expensive). A bottle of mousse will last a long time. Much longer than I expected. I tried the VO5 mousse but didn't like it as much. my hair was less curly and more frizz than with the other products.

Gel works great but I only use it if I want my hair to dry really fast (like if I went to lap swim during the day). Swimming was what made me start using so much conditioner to being with.

To fight frizz that starts after my hair is dry, sometimes I'll smooth in a little conditioner or lotion. It actually works pretty well if you're in a pinch.

Thanks for all the great tips. I will give them a try.

I also have curly hair so I totally empathize with you. On my own hair I use hair products that are geared for straightening. I use a straightening shampoo as well as a conditioner to go with it and afterwards I use a straightening serum. My hair may never be completely straight, but at least the products take away all the frizz out. Curls are beautiful, but when frizz takes over it's not so great.

I spent years straightening my hair but finally game up the fight.
