My frizzy curly grey hair...

[Anonymous]

...is driving me crazy. I finally cut it short a year ago, and it's less work now but it still looks borderline crazy-lady. I need to dye it, or straighten it, or get some kind of magic chemical treatment. I just don't know what. I barely spent more than 2 hours per year in a salon through most of my adult life, and now I just don't know what to do. I look at the Dysons and the Brazilian Blowouts and the million dye options and I am just paralyzed. I want to look stylish and well groomed! Save me please.

Following. It's hard to be both gray and curly, so I dye mine at home. I'd love to straighten it and go gray.

I have fine, straight hair that is growing white at the temples, and dye at home with henna and indigo.

I had a routine like that when I was younger and my hair was gorgeous, but I don't have the patience for this anymore, and the pay-off isn't quite what it used to be, having a big shaggy head of dull greys.

What kind of dye do you use, and what does it look like? Why do you want to switch to straightening?

I am struggling with this too except I've always had straight stringy hair and now it's getting wiry. I shed a lot and grow a lot of replacement hairs so the replacement hairs are coming in this way.

Washing hair less, religiously conditioning, rubbing argan oil into wet hair helps. But I need to up it more and investigate more hair products. And need to accept that this new routine of hair products that I've never had to do before is now a part of my life.

It's time for the ice floe.

I would do keratin. It’s expensive but mine lasts about 9 months. It makes my hair look so much better

My hair is greying, not fully grey. This is what helps:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P6FXF4N A conditioner that removes yellow undertones and brightens the silver

I use L'Oreal and the color I like is a cooler (ash) version of my original hair color. I think gray hair looks fantastic on my friends with straight or slightly wavy hair, and I'd love to stop dyeing, but I don't see a realistic way to go straight. Blow-outs don't even work and I don't want to fry my hair with treatments.

I can style mine so it's not frizzy (conditioner in the shower, conditioner after the shower, then gel; avoid going outside until dry) but it takes a long time to dry and the curl pattern is unpredictable. I end up wearing it in an updo instead of messing with it, but I would like to wear it down more.

Get a dyson air straight or the air wrap. You will no longer have frizzy hair. You're welcome.

Dying it will not help. It will only make it look worse. Trust me.

Air wrap still makes mine frizzy. If it works for you that's great but people should make sure they buy one with a return policy.

You need to use Color WOW treatment spray or Amika the shield spray.
