Hair Problems

[Shadow Leader]

I recall someone (I think it was Solerina) extolling the virtues of Good Hair Day hair straighteners in the not-too-dim past so I thought I would pass on a recommendation also. I have long, fairly fine hair that is somewhere between curly-wavy-frizzy depending on several factors! Anyhow, if you have trouble with frizzy/wavy hair I cannot recommend John Frieda's range of shampoo & conditioners highly enough. I've always used them in the past & they've been ok, but now they have a new range of shampoos & conditioners that are "extra strength for coarse/very frizzy hair" & I'm very impressed with the results. Not only does it cut down drastically on frizz but I tend to let my hair dry naturally as I can never be arsed with blow-dryng it & it's even drying pretty much straight - it's very shiny too. The bugger is that I can only seem to get the stuff on the UK; ever since it came out last summer (wel, that's the first time I saw it!!) I've had to buy shedloads of it to ship back to Gib every time with me!!! Ihaven't tried it yet with straightenersbut I'm sure the result will be very good if the result after naturally drying is anything to go by. I got a pair of good straighteners for Christmas but I've only used theem once (& that was only a half-hearted test-run woth no serum or balm on) as I can't be arsed with the hassle of straightening my hair all the time - it's far too bloody long for that!!!!

Why don't you just use the hair straighteners intended for persons of African descent? I once got the treatment from Hell which made my hair look like a huge ball of pubic hair on my head. I couldn't even get an Afro comb through it - it just got stuck! Fortunately, being chums with an Afro-American family, who shrieked hysterically with laughter at my 'nappy hair', I got a loan of their hair straightener, and at least by the next day I could face going to work (I just looked like I'd stuck my hand in an electric socket, instead of a drag version of The Supremes).
