It is too oily. I have the fortune (sarcasm intended) of having both greasy AND frizzy, wavy hair. Several of the tips mentioned are very interesting and I am saving this post. I knew that about conditioning the ends but I always forget. And my daughter is going to teach me how to use a flat iron. Should be interesting...I am 50 and don't even use a hair dryer!miriamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319153566114723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-21852262618096717192010-02-03T15:38:48.376-09:002010-02-03T15:38:48.376-09:00Sounds like fun!

Fighting it will only make it rebel, much like a moody teenager.<br /><br />Mine? Part opposite, longer bangs (if I have bangs at all) and perms can be my friend--if I stopped coloring my hair. My daughter's? Part WITH it, leave longer bangs, if she has bangs at all, and let it gently wave everything else back from her fact. Or shave her head (which is entirely another story, and it actually HELPED tame the beast.)<br /><br />Maintaining a part helps keep it sane. Our cowlicks just get frizzy and uppity if you try to blow them dry--no matter what direction, heat setting, brush stroke, you use.mumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489543332603727588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-36629593786576282042010-02-03T11:25:07.895-09:002010-02-03T11:25:07.895-09:00I started using Suave after you talked about it la...I started using Suave after you talked about it last time.

My hair is much healthier, and it's a time saver, too!<br /><br />I have to add one tip, which I got from Amy at amalah.com: don't ever do the towel turban! Something about the weight of it weakens the roots of your hair. And indeed, since I quit that, my hair is stronger and thicker.dancing_lemurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16544443358958466637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-35197844764739637922010-02-03T03:25:44.258-09:002010-02-03T03:25:44.258-09:00Wow...I am very happy to hear that companies like ...Wow...I am very happy to hear that companies like this are actually starting to talk about the advantages of less frequent shampooing. When I started to read your post, I was thinking, "oh boy, what kind of mularkey is Suave going to teach us today?" but I was pleasantly surprised. Most of the tips seem pretty reasonable to me. I follow a hair care regime that completely cuts out shampoo altogether, but I do use the Suave conditioners that don't contain any silicones. And the baking soda thing that your friend does is WONDERFUL! I am not an expert on hair, but I have just done a ton of research on this, because I have naturally curly hair and as you can imagine, it can be difficult to manage. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend a lot of these tips for people with curly hair (like the brushing, for instance) but I can see how they would be useful for straight hair. And you were totally right to be skeptical about the proteins, because too much protein can do awful things to your hair if you have a sensitivity to it. Kudos to Suave for rolling with the changes and thanks to you for sharing :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417554520684682869noreply@blogger.com
