I have somewhat wavy hair that is now grown out more than I have let it in the past - wanted to get it longer so it could hang in front of my face. My hair tends to be VERY frizzy and the ends ALWAYS seem to curl about 1 week after a cut. And, worst of all, my hair tends to be VERY poofy if I don't put something in it, like gel or smoothing products. I have tried frizz-ease serum and it HELPS, but not a ton - maybe I am not using it right?? Also tried the same companys' smoothing creme - Secret Weapon, which helps the most, but I tend to not let my hair look "wet" and stiff - I kind of hand comb it after it dries - then that makes my hair get really wavy and curly and unmanageable. I have been washing my hair daily with conditioner, but I guess after reading some that daily washing is not good for it?? If I flatten my hair with my hands, and then apply the Secret Weapon, it looks exactly the way I want it too - until it dries. I don't want it to look "perfect" and wet, so I do hand comb it a bit to get some of that out of it, but any amount makes the ends curl and it gets poofy. Is there anything I can do?? Any other products I can try?? I have tried MANY different gels before - the only one I like, again, is the Frizz-ease Correction Gel. I want to keep my hair long, because I do like it like this, but when it gets wavy and curls at the ends, I don't like the way it looks at all. Any suggestions??? Oh, my haircut is like shorter on the sides and back, but tapered - and long on top - the sides and back are just a little shorter than the top is. Thanks!!! (sorry for the long post!)

> I have the same type of hair, I use sebatian laminates drops, the gel I find too heavy and the straightener makes it too dry but the liquid drops works amazingly. It gets rid of the frizz and doesn't make your hair look greasy. You can get it at Trad SEcrets and the good part about it is if you don't like it they will let you exchange it. All of Sebatian Laminates products I find are great for wavy frizzy hair. I find they work great. I hope this helped and let me know if you liked it.Jodi
