I find that a steel comb is the best thing for combatting the frizzy fly-aways.

I was advised to rinse my hair after washing with cold water as this closes the scales on hair. It does seem to work.

I have fine dry hair which tangles easily and is prone to frizz. After trying many different shampoo conditioner and styling products over the years, I finally found what works for me: OGX argan oil shampoo and conditioner (and hair mask in the same range used twice weekly), and Dr Paw Paw 7 in 1 treatment styler. This is a detangler, leave in conditioner and shine serum, among other properties. It's amazing. Finally I don't feel the need to wash my hair every day. Hope you find your solution x

I have hopeless, fine hair. I have highlights which I think helps to thicken my hair. I also have Olaplex treatments.

For styling, I use Colour Wow root lift which is the best thing I have found. It's expensive but worth it.

I am actually happy with my hair now but it has taken about 70 years to get there!!

I think rather than shampoo you should concentrate on conditioning and styling. If your hair is healthy then it will shine. A leave on hair mask or oil will really help, you can find one at a drugstore or salon.

You can also ask your hairdresser for a 'gloss' treatment. It goes on almost like a colour, and left on for 20 minutes, but it just adds shine without changing the colour.

Hello how about trying a sulphate free shampoo or one of the ones that take out the product build up. It may need a hair detox.

I have so many shampoo's for shine volume and body but none of them seem to give me the "because I'm worth it" look. I'm fed up of trying and spending a small fortune. Any recommendations?
