What shampoos/haircare products help reduce frizzy/poofy hair?

I have longish hair thats naturally curly, but it frizzes alot and it's always poofy. Any shampoos that work especially well?What shampoos/haircare products help reduce frizzy/poofy hair?
If you want to run out and pick something up locally, I recommend trying Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Condish (semi-cheap but super moisturizing, found at organics/specialty stores); red Cream of Nature shampoo (drugstore again); LA Looks or Herbal essences gels (drugstore); Biotera gel and cream (Sally's Beauty Supply); Suave Naturals/vo5 conditioners (really cheap); and L'oreal out of bed weightless texturizer (black tub, use under gel). These are all good things to try, and be sure to tinker around with amounts and how you use any products.





For specific products for your hair type you might also want to explore the forums at:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products, but the most popular ones are usually only available online.





Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:


*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons


*Don't shampoo every day.


*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.


*Never use a brush on dry hair, only untangle when the hair is wet.


*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape.


*Use styling products suited for your hair type. Don’t know yours? http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types


*Avoid terrycloth towels; use linen, paper towels, or t-shirts instead.


*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.


*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it’s drying.


*Once dry scrunch out any crunchy texture.





Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It’s pretty radical—no sulfates (shampoo) or silicones—but it’s so great for curly hair.

Frizz Ease by John Frieda is the best thing ever, also try mousse for the poofyness
BioSilk works well to smooth hair.
garneier is the best
