frizzies/ fly away

The frizzies are not uncommon this time of year when the humidity is low causing the hair to dry out. To stop the frizzies, condition after every shampoo and try a leave-in conditioner, too. I have also been getting very good results with Monoi Oil in restoring the moisture to dry fly-away hair. You may be able to find it at your local health food store and the Long Hair Lovers site sells a very good product. I also really like Frizz Ease Hair Serum made by John Frieda. The first client I tried it on had several layers and the ends of each layer kept getting dry and brittle as she was trying to grow the layers out. Add to that the fact that she almost always used a blow dryer on her hair and sometimes used a medicated shampoo for dry scalp - she got the frizzies. I would trim the ends a bit, but doing that made sure no length was growing. She had regularly been using other dry hair shampoos, conditioners, deep conditioners, expensive "non-damaging and non-drying" hair spray...but still had the frizzies. Then we tried Frizz Ease. It has made a remarkable difference in her hair and along with Monoi Oil conditioning treatments is a regular part of her hair care routine. To use Frizz Ease, you shampoo and condition as usual. Ring hair out just a bit, but DO NOT towel dry. Squeeze a small amount of Frizz Ease into your palm. I usually use about a dime`s size of the product. Rub product into both palms then apply to hair. Do not rinse out and style as usual. Your frizzies should disappear! :) You can request a free sample at: http://users.ntplx.net/~jf/emergencytreatment/ Good luck!

Edwin Paul makes a very good leave-in conditioner and it is sold on this site. Zerran makes a natural product I like very much too (http://www.adiscountbeauty.com/page154.html). I used olive oil & honey/jojoba treatments for years with good results but think the Monoi Oil is even better. I use it a couple of different ways: 1) just a few drops rubbed into the dry ends as a finishing oil 2) as a hot oil treatment in which you warm your Monoi bottle under hot tap water until it is quite warm. Apply generously all over your hair, especially if it is dry, dull or chemically damaged. Cover your hair with a plastic cap and with a towel to create a warming effect which will help the deep-conditioning process. Leave on for 30 minutes. Then wash your hair thoroughly. 3) some clients tell me they use it overnight and wash it out in the morning too. If you don`t use too much, your hair should not be greasy - less is definitely more. If you get good results with your other products you should have to use the deep conditioner very often. I find every month or so works well for most of my clients. Good luck!
