I looked up your past threads. I know this sounds obvious, but you're going to want to stop processing your hair. Chemical straightening and straight-ironing is just going to make things worse. Granted, you'd have to deal with un-straight hair for awhile but I think it's necessary. Good luck, and I'm sorry this isn't very helpful.

Hokay..... A response that is relevant... How many conditioners do you use? Adding a second, lighter conditioner can help immensely. This would mean using a light conditioner after shampooing, and then using your usual normal-weight conditioner. Light conditioners include the Suave and V05 brands. Of course this isn't a quick fix, but it will help in the long run. I know for a fact that I didn't get noticeable results until about 2 months after adding a second conditioner to my routine. The added moisture, over time, will help with shine and ease of combing. Over time, it helped a lot with the sun damage I had. And further, adding a second conditioner helped "weigh" my hair down so I had less frizz or flyaway hair. I hope this was helpful. Anais Edited to add: I know you've had chemical work in the past, and straightening in the past, but could it be that your hair just has an extremely "coarse" classifier (large-stranded hairs) by change in hormones throughout your life? ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com"> my LJ , 40 inches long

yea..my hair is REALLY coarse...hehe anyways...for the past few months, I only used shampoo once a week. Everytime i shower, i would use a sauve conditioner, and then I would use the pantene deep conditioner. I haven't touched the hair iron or the hair dryer for several month...but my hair till looks like THAT...but its better than before...at least its not super frizzy at the top anymore. |

Have you tried Giovanni Direct Leave-in? My hair used to feel very very coarse, until I started using Giovanni on just-dried hair. Then I sock curl and go to bed. The Giovanni for some reason makes it much softer. It's also organic and cone-free. Hairboutique MP carries all the Giovanni products but they are http://mp.hairboutique.com/product.asp?ProdID=100425 - out of the Direct Leave-in , but you can find it http://www.webvitamins.com/product.aspx?id=3676&wvaid=IN&term=osmx - here or http://store.yahoo.com/drkowalski/giovcon8ozgi.html - here also. I think the formulation has changed though. Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com"> my LJ , 40 inches long
