Sorry to hi-jack your thread, Miss.P but i wanted to ask Aimless13 what kind of shampoo, conditioner and styling products she uses. This can make a huge difference. If your shampoo/conditioner is too drying, your scalp could be over-producing oils to replenish your hair. If it's too moisturizing, it'll make it limp later in the day. You can pm me, if you like

alright Mizz Perfect, I have a question. I have relatively thick, fine, very oily (as in, if I don't wash it every morning it looks like i bathed in grease), just below shoulder-length, slightly wavy hair. And just since I'm telling you everything about my hair, it's brown too. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out a new hairstyle for school, and I'm thinking long bangs, slightly layered, but still keeping my hair long. The only problem is, I know I would need to blowdry it every morning but when I do, by early afternoon, it's dead-limp and hangs on my head like a mop. Any way you could help?
Okay.. I'm sorry about that MizzPerfect, it was an impulsive question. I had my hopes up that somebody out there could answer the question I've had for soooooooo long. I've been out of high school for a couple years and I'm not taking a lab class anytime soon.. so asking a science prof is outta the question.
But if you were wondering, most conditioners out there have an ingredient that ends in "cone". (some examples are Suave, V05, Pantene, L'Oreal) "Cones" like dimethicone are a plasticlike ingredient that coats each hair to protect from heat, cold, wind, etc... while other conditioner ingredients help attract moisture to the hair shaft.
Recently I've been wondering if plastic-free conditioners work if their moisturizing ingredients are not "glued" onto the hair by the plastic ingredient. I hope this makes more sense. Maybe you could ask your chem teacher for me, lol : ) since I don't have one.

Hello MizzPerfect, Here's something I've been wondering about... Nobody's been able to answer this for me yet, and I hope you can help me out... pleeeease!!! How does a silicone-derivative-free conditioner work? I know that any conditioner is formulated with humectants such as sorbitol and p.glycol, but how do they work without protective coating? Please help.
