   Hi all, newbie here. I have long curly hair (dry and medium texture, plus a 

ton of it). It has (or had) loose ringlets. My favorite product (and the only 

one which ever worked) was Sebastian's (or Wella) "Texturizer." Years ago 

they changed the ingredients (and I believe removed the alcohol and 

other ingredients). I have tried everything and now I can't stand to look in 

the mirror. I've come close to looking like the old me, but my hair was so 

stiff it drove me nuts (not to mention it did not move at all). Ouidad 

actually works as a great straightener for me. My hair won't speak to me 

for a week if I use Redken, KMS & Graham Webb... Unfortunately, Phyto is 

another product I can't use and for any flyaways, John Frieda is a no go. 

I've used so many products searching for the "right" one that I couldn't 

list them all. I've used Sebastian's Potion 9 for years and my hair loves it. 

It also loves Finessee and Herbal Essences (that's the only good news). I 

don't brush. I use a diffuser. I try cold water. I flip my head upside down 

and have read any book I can find. It loves gel and most products will 

hold it for a an hour and then drop the curl in areas.Yikes! Sorry so long. 

Thanks for reading! Can anyone help?
