I bought some Loreal Everpure and didn’t notice that it had dimethicone in it, so have had to start all over again with CG.

Currently I’m using GFRS as a rinse out and leave in and then purple gel from Boots then leaving to dry in a turban for a while, then drying out and trying not to touch it.  (Have clipped the front section back to stop me from doing this).

Can anyone help as to what to do about the frizzy bits?  My hair is fine, but I’m not sure if I need protein or not after reading other posts making your hair straw like…

I’m having it coloured again tomorrow a little bit darker too.

Thank you.  I have been putting gel on my hair but haven’t done the gfrs after it’s dried.  I shall try that.

smile Hi bambiboo, like curlyhairmich said, occasionally smoothing a tiny amount of GFRS over my frizz (if it’s really bad) does seem to calm it down, so may be worth a try.

Good luck! wink

I love using my CJ smoothing lotion on dry hair (just a tiny bit) to take away any fly aways or fuzziness. Works a treat for me.

It’s my leave in and I used it as a rinse out the other day and it worked well too. Definitely a multi tasker !

Thanks Cupcake Queen - where can I buy the CJ (I presume Curl Junkie?) Smoothing Lotion?  Is it CG?

Well just to say thanks really.  I have tried my hair with some protein today (the AOGPB conditioner) and then have put some GFRS scrunched on after it’s dried to help with the frizz.  I had my hair coloured on Wednesday too and it’s looking quite nice I think today.

Thank you grin  I’m loving the colour too (bit different from my nearly white blonde dyed hair I had before I decided to go dark again) - brings out the colour of my eyes I think.
