Hair texture

[Deleted]

I know this is an age thing and I'm struggling with it.  My hair has become very coarse, frizzy, unruly, blah.

I do get highlights & lowlights every 3-4 months and I use Redken shampoo/cond.  But beyond that I need help.

Is it my hair dryer (it probably sucks), other products?  What helps with this, in your experience?

I try not to use heat on my hair as much as possible - it is the killer of hair. If you have to, use a heat related product. I like the Moroccan Oil or one of the Keratase heat protection items. What other products do you use on your hair? Are you using any oils? I LOVE Lux oil for my hair (put on while wet or put it on after dried). I also do a hair mask using avocado, honey and yogurt - super shiny result.

Right now just John Freida Frizz-Ease leave in spray conditioner and then some Matrix Biolage mousse on the top roots.

I have argan oil but it makes me break out. I'll try the others you mentioned instead to see if that helps.

Thanks!

I get keratin treatments to help with the frizz. I really like the Suave smoothing keratin shampoo and conditioner line and it is very inexpensive. Lately, I have found that a leave in conditioner works well for me. I also use argan oil. I have always had frizzy, dry hair, so I have been fighting this my whole life, but it seems to be getting worse with age.

My hair has also become coarse over the last couple of years. I hate it!

I've been using a hair oil and lightly going over my hair after I style it to tame the crazy ones. I've also been adding a few drops to my styling cream that I use on my damp hair. Air drying my hair also seems to help. Using a blow dryer makes all of the crazy grey/course hairs stick out more.

WEN cleansing conditioner has done great things for my hair (been using it almost exclusively for about 1 1/2 yrs now). I will only buy it from QVC or chazdean.com because the stuff on the infomercials and in Sephora are a different formula.

Good post! I have wavy uncooperative hair. But it's thick and my hairdresser keeps reminding me to count my blessings. My favorite products are a Lanza shine product and straight up coconut oil.

I just bought the hair dryer from this line today.  Keeping my fingers crossed.
