unruly hair issue

 Has anyone had their hair texture change after WLS ?  m ine went from  wavy to downright  curly ! ( and DRY ! ) 

Part of me always wanted ringlets .... but I don't BEGIN to know how to make em .in a way that's  fast, easy  and also  healthy for the hair ... 

right now  I have a bad case of triangle head (  where the hair  stands so far out from Ur head U  look  like a relative of Bozo )   

don't get me wrong its WAYYY  better than having too little hair ...  


but honestly I'm  having a problem with getting enough SHINE  ...I  put TONS of expensive split end mender  and  argan oil and  fructis "  silky "  leave in conditioning spray  and THEN protective shine promoting UV sunscreened silicone and  well .... it looks I didn't do ANYTHING ... 

it looks healthy  but HUGE  and the oil makes it get  dirty real fast ....  

any suggestions how to spilt  this  fuzz  into  LOCKS  ?  and  make it shiny looking  .. without  looking like a Jherri Curl escaped from the eighties lol? 

Back in August, I became part of the "no poo (shampoo)" movement.  You elimenate any hair products from your use.  No shampoo, conditioner, moose, spray, and so on and so on.  You wash your hair with baking soda and water and rinse with either a vinager or lemon juice and water mix.  Although my hair is really thin and I seem to have constant bed head at this point from sitting/laying around, I like the effect.  I LOVE not being a slave to all that stuff and having 20 bottles of this and that that get used 2 x a year.  My hair is straight so I don't know what it would do with curls but it may be worth a try.  You can google it for more information but it is pretty simple.

Thanks Price that sounds really interesting if a bit scarey for someone who couldnt make a living for literally YEARS if their hair broke off lol ...

but in that vein ... has someone tried the shampooless WEN system they're always infomercialing on TV ?

it actually looks pretty good to me ...

I remember we met a Jamican sailor in the Azores on our transatlantic crossing... who used some kind of natural PLANT only to shampoo his dreadlocks ... and swore that it kept the natural oils in while effectively cleaning the hair . He even showed me the plant when we were hiking around the island .. which means its not tropical I don't believe since the Azores are more or less temperate , right ?

Anyone know what he was talking about ?

Wen has free shipping now! Haven't tried it let me know if you do.

My sister swears by the WEn but I have not tried it. I now have new growth but have ound it drier also. I hate all the products, if you get it can you please let me know how it worked for you.

Add more oils and fats to your diet. 

Sorry, had to rib you a little.

I went to a beauty supply store and bought a semi-permanent clear hair glosser.  It has worked well in putting shine and texture in my hair.  Of course, I keep my hair really short so might not be much help.  You could use one of those special gels for curly hair, just put in hair and scrunch it, blow dry with a defuser.
