Hi,I am half Indian and half Indonesian and have just-under-shoulder-length, very coarse, porous hair. It has been colour treated (not severely) and also chemically straightened once, but is *still* very thick, curly (almost afro) and knotty. It doesn't hang in nice locks or curls, but rather my hair just 'frizzes' everywhere.On rare occassions when I straighten it (with a blow dryer) it takes me about 50 minutes to do it with lots of serum and Fudge Cold Turkey. I just don't have the time.I am in Australia and also have a very narrow selection of hair products and salons which specialise in my type of 'afro' hair.Can anyone reccommend *anything* for me?A new hairstyle to wear my hair as it is?A product to make it more manageable?A product to make my hair straight?Any Australian contacts?Thankyou everybody!Leila.
