Curly Hair Problem

    I have pretty curly hair, which for years I have wahed and blowdried each day.... Its bobbed with layers and when I let it dry it is in loose curls... I like it when its like that and I do get a lot of compliments as its pretty fashionable to have loose defined curls right now. My problem is that the products for curly hair are very heavy.... The leave the curls nice and distinctive but the roots get greasy looking as the day goes on....

    Does anyone have any idea of a very light weight product which will produce defined curls but not look greasy....

    I had the same problem but now I use Pantene Curl Mousse but dont go near the roots. I also use the boots curl spray when my curls need a boost (and it smells nice)

    I swear by Catwalk Curls Rock.

    Buy it in Peter Marks, use the spray and the scrunch gel stuff, absolutely brilliant!

    Thats great girls. I use the
    • John Freida shampoo, conditioner and curl spray.
    • Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner for curly hair and the
    • Kerastase curl spray

    I wonder if its the curl sprays thats making it greasy...

    Could you just not put the spray on your roots? I'd say mousee would also be a safe bet for not creating grease.

    i use Umberto Giannini Flirty Curls Scruching Jelly (sold in boots)

    I have tried loads of products and find it the best for my curls.

    I rarely blow dry my hair and always try and get a trim every 4-6 weeks

    With a sister and boyf with lovely curls, between them they tried the entire market of products, and this is, by far, the best product for lightweight hold and definition. It's abfab.

    Great news. Thanks - ill give it a go.

    I've tried everything including Kerastase oleo curl bain. This gives nice definition to curls and doesn't dry hair like some products. I've blonde curly hair and found though that it made it quiet dull. At the moment I'm using AVEDA Be Curly which is the best ever!! I think! You get fabulous curls, lots of bounce and volume and doesn't dull hair actually makes more shiny! The next day it you just have to dampen hands and run through hair to revive curls. So you get much longer out of your curls and just doesn't turn to frizz!

    The best products I have found and this is after years of trying different products are the frizz ease range so I now use the shampoo and conditioner and the mouse to define the girls. Its fantastic and the curls hold for a couple of days.

    I swear by this product too! Actually it was 'buy 2 for €9' last week in Boots! I find it really works on my curls and controls frizz!!:)

    I have curls too, I use a Kerestasse serum one from "Cats" Hair salon. It's a lotion, very liquidy as opposed to oily and not as heavy and greasy as any other serums I've used, you only need to put a little teensy bit into wet hair and it keeps it soft but not greasy, it's about € 20 and is in an orange tube, go in and they'll show you it! It's nice. Best of luck with it!
