I think most people clarify with ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) because it smells better than regular vinegar. Some people have had good luck with rice vinegar (a little milder than ACV) or red wine vinegar for redheads. Other people swear it's a hair color thing: they use lighter colored vinegar for lighter hair. I use ACV because it's readily available in bulk
As for the C, if you wish. Usually the last C is pricier than the C in the COW. For this reason I like to mix any cheapie conditioner into the COW. (as long as it's silicone free. Scalps don't seem to like silicone)
There's a chance that it might not even be the shampoo that she is using. It might be the weather and the water. When I lived in Hong Kong (97-2k), it was the worst three hair years of my life. There were sooooo many chemicals in the water it was not funny. :(
Hi , why don't you try herbal essences moisturizing shampoo. the one I had was purple color bottle with avacado/blackberry/mango. I have asian coarse curly hair and this shampoo tames frizz so good. Try rinsing with cold water too when you're done. Paul mitchell conditioners work good too for conditioning.
At the moment, I layered my hair in a "U" shape, It seemed better for around 2 weeks, but after that, my hair went back to being frizzy but it looks more manageable than the first picture. I still do not have the confidence to let it down, but it looks much nicer in a ponytail. I use this product called "cuticle cover" which contains some jojoba oil (couldn't find jojoba oil in its pure form) and it makes my hair appear less dry.
I also use the conditioner+shampoo, then conditioner method. I'm not sure whether it makes any difference yet, but I'm going to keep using this method and see.
I tried using herbal essences shampoo before Yoshiki, it doesn't work on my hair.
I do think that the weather plays a very important part, as it's rather hot over here and my hair frizzes up in the heat. If I should stay in an air conditioned room, my hair will frizz as minimally as possible. However, my other straight haired friends retain their glossy straight frizz-less hair even in the hottest day of the week.
Hang in there Mintychoc! Good to hear your hair has been more manageable. Weather does indeed play an important part. Here's to a quick passing of the warm humid season.
try crede at shampoo with the crede er treatment. it's supposed to work
really well with curly hair to smooth it out...i use crede ft and i like it a lot.

I use Catwalk by TIGI curl defining shampoo & conditioner but since I
have an oily scalp I am forced to shampoo every other day and only use
conditioner below my ears.
Catwalk products have Curly hair Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave-In,
Booster and Amplifier. Maybe they'll make your hair look a little less like
a pile of frizz?
