Avoid Frizzy Summer Hair

My hair looks flat and boring if the dew points are low. The more humidity the better for my straight mop. The Caribbean is especially beautifying I find when it's dry and wintery. But I know people are anti-frizzy. I say Bring em on!

so you're sort of like me - though i only like frizz to a point. sometimes i go into the steam room at my gym just to make my hair fuller. always works. have you ever tried that? i guess one could steam up their bathroom too. of course, best option would be to move to the caribbean.

The article was interesting, but I wonder if any of these products are organic -- by that I mean there are no toxic chemicals or parabens (the latter are preservatives that mimic estrogen). I had breast cancer and am trying to avoid both. Any organic anti-frizz stuff out there?

I do not know about anti-frizz products specifically, but the Aubrey Organics products are just that: organic. I have been using them for years and found the J.A.Y. (jojoba, aloe & yucca) shampoo and the matching conditoner to work great at keeping those wild, wiry hairs conditioned and somewhat in line.

Also, as far as frizz goes, I have found brushing my hair to be more of a problem than combing. I have a very wide comb that I use when my hair is wet before drying with a diffuser and I don't have any problems. Get the brush within 5 inches of my hair and it goes wild.

where do you get the aubrey organics? internet or beauty supply stores? another tip about frizz - my haircutter told me that the more you handle your hair - fluff it up, push it back, whatever, the frizzier it will get. thing is when your hair is frizzy, that's what you want to do. resist and see if it works.

I can get Aubrey products at any of the independent grocery stores in my area--I'd try healthfood outlets in large towns. I have also purchased the products by mail-order (not recently) and I believe they may have a web site.

thanks. i'll try. any other suggestions for the frizzies?

There is an all natural product called Kataria. I came across it while I was in the Middle East. Its a clear jelly sap (i think from a kind of cactus) that women use as a leave in conditioner. Its also used in place of gel and gives you lots of volume. I used to put it on after a shower and let my hair air dry in the hot arid climate but my hair didn' frizz very much! If you hold your head upside down and scrunch your hair you'll get some really nice-very natural looking curls.

I dont know where you can get Kataria in the West!

I looked around the Internet and it seems Kataria may be the name of a company in India not a product. But the company does supply hair products. Here's the link to check if they send to the west. let me know.
