Looking for a hair product

LadyE

Hey, I was wondering if anyne can recommend a hair product for me, I have a natural curl to my hair, not too curley, more of a wave, which I would mouuse when wet and let dry, its the only way I can get the waves/curls to stay in..but this makes it hair crunchy (does that makes sense?!)

So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend something else that would do the same job, but would have my hair still soft?!

My hair is really curly, and I use Nexxus Exxtra Gel. As long as you don't overdo it it won't get crunchy. I hate the crunch.

Go to bed with your hair slightly damp!! Always worked for me.

I know there are a lot of products out there for curly hair but I haven't used any myself.

Ohhh, also the John Frieda line of shampoos and conditioners for curly hair. If those aren't available in Ireland I'm screwed.

Oh, If I let it dry naturally, it just goes frizzy

what about leave in conditioner? Curly can can be such a pain!!

I've found that almost all curls are different. It all depends on the color, treatment and styling, i;e do you use straighteners or a blowdryer.
For me it's been all about trial and error. I have a wavy hair, not that much of a curl really, I have to work it to be real curly. But latelt I found the prefect solution for my hair. It mightn't work for you but it could be worth a try.

Shampoo with whatever you use currently. If you rinse it out properly it shouldn't really matter. For conditioner, Redken does a wonderful one. Don't remember the name but it's in a dark green bottle.
Then I use jojoba oil, yes I know, shocking, an oil???? But it never ever turns out greasy, it just goes into to the hair shaft and leaves my hair smooth. For styling I use Pantene Curling mousse. In fact I swear by it. It doesn't go hard on your hair it just comes out in the perfect curls for me. Sort of bed-head natural, you know?
So that's my regime. The Redken you can get at a hairdressers but I think it's the jojoba oil tht you can get in any health shop that does the trick. Just a drop or two is excellent!
Oh and I always wash my hair in the morning and let it dry on it's own.

I recommend Tigi`s Curls Rock leave in its the best on the market without a doubt 250ml for €20.00.you can also curl shampoo by redken 300ml for €16.00.it will go a long way towards helping you achieve the look you want.

I've the same type of hair as you OP, wavy curls! I find any of the Aussie products are great. I use their mousse and a curling serum (though not both at the same time!!) and they work a treat

If you have a bit of body to your hair, a light wave:
if you wrap your hair into a little bun on top of your head before you go to bed, you wake up to perfect curls, always works for me you can do this when your hair is wet or dry.
If your hair is straight:
I used some excellent spray from umberto gianni, a few times, when my hair was wet, and it dried lovely and soft, and curly. It was essentially salt water, and I searched for it and cant find it at all.. but this one is similar, and excellent, John Frieda Beach Blonde Ocean Waves Sea Spray
If your hair is very curly:
Pantene make a lovely mousse, specifically for curly hair, that if you put in a small amount when your hair is wet, brush through with a large tooth comb, and then leave your hair to dry naturally you wont frizz at all. when your hair is almost dry try john frieda, or frizz ease serum, a small amount, and scrunch it into your hair. Perfect curls, all day.

I have wavy/curly hair aswell and i know exactley what you mean about moose leaving your hair feeling crunchy. I have started using Umberto Giannini Flirty Curls Scruching Jelly. I got it in boots. It leaves your hair with a natural curl and doesn't feel like there is product in it at all except that it's softer.

I have two friends who use this and swear by it, their hair always looks fantastic and its pretty reasonable!!
