I have really thick curly hair (i'm mixed so its really thick)help on hair products?

You have the best hair! You probably don't think so. I'm Black and I have really "good" hair (whatever that means), so hopefully I can help you. I've got LOADS of advice.

It depends on how you want to wear it. If you like wearing your hair natural, that is washing it, letting it curl, and going on about your business, then you should wash your hair using a curl defining shampoo and conditioner. Matrix works best (it's in the green bottle), but it gets expensive. Ganier Fructise is good, as is Herbal Essence, and Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and natural. Whatever you get, altrenate it and another shampoo/conditioner every three months. And use a clarifying shampoo (Suave will work) once a week. Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner (Infusium works best - even though it's a little sticky when drying) on your hair followed by a lightweight moisturizer (in this case, Dove is your best option). If you have pretty defined curls, all you need is a little frizz serum and you can be on your way. If your hair and curls tend to get a tad frizzy, like mine, you can use a soft curl wax (Garnier Fructise, again) on slightly damp hair to separate the curls and get them to stay. Just a tad of the product is all you need. Sometimes I have to twist unruly curls around my fingers.

If you want really defined curls (and I only do this every so often because my hair is super thick and it takes a couple of hours), follow the above steps, but roll your hair in 1/2 inch sections on rods at night. The rods are about the thickness your pinkie. In the morning, take down the rods and go on abut your business, styling them if necessary.

If you want to wear your hair straight, wash your hair with a shampoo that takes care of frizz. Garnier Fructise has a really good product for thick, frizzy hair. It's called sleek something or another. Herbal Essence has a shampoo and conditioner for that as well. Invest in a good Ionic blowdryerw ith a diffuser - one with tourmaline if you can find it. The ions seal the hair follicles close and help rid some of the frizziness. Using a frizz serum on damp hair, blow dry your hair straight. Stay away from using any water based hair products while your hair is straight and dry - as you probably know, it causes your hair to frizz. If you can successfully straighten your hair with the hair dryer alone, use an oil based product (Optimum will work) to leave hair shiny and resistant to moisture. Only a little, though. You don't want your hair to be greasy. If blow drying alone won't do the trick, flat iron your blowdried hair in 1 inch sections. Again, use a tourmaline or ceramic flat iron. They aren't as bad as metal ones, as far as heat damage is concerned. Don't do this too

often. The heat damage can cause hair to break over prolonged periods of time. If that still doesn't work, you might have to get some to press your hair.

Hope I've helped.

I am mixed also and my hair is really curly, i have found that tresseme is the best, because it works with all hair types. Use all of their hair products. Great for shine, deep conditioning.

I am still looking for something to work on thick hair
