My hair sounds quite like yours. I am interested in hearing the responses you get because my hair is kind of a disaster.

I agree - -don't wash your hair that much. Use only conditioner when you wet it and try to find a curly hair style with product that works best for you. It's best, IMO to tame the hair you have, not to make it be something else. Unfortunately, this takes playing with products. I literally use different products to make my hair stay curly and not frizzy, depending on the weather. Sometimes it's Aveda Be Curly, on humid days, it can be Bumble & Bumble curly hair leave-in. I also have a Keratin, which is expensive but worth it. But you may want to wait if your breast feeding. I'm pregnant now and haven't gotten one in awhile ( you update it about every 5 months or so)and my hair, when curly looks crazy. Which means that I end up going to get it professionally blown out. Which I don't recommend.

Oh and when it's curly, I only condition it, comb it while wet in the shower and then use my fingers to add the product. Meaning I run my fingers through my hair. Then leave it alone or use a diffuser. Hope this helps. What it comes down to, is finding a curly product that works for you. On a specific day. It's a pain.

I feel your pain! I try to wash every other day but I also blowdry straight. If I don't blowdry, my hair will never dry on its own. I've been using an argan oil that I put in when wet, then style, and it's been making my hair feel a bit sleeker.

@photojane: I'm almost 6 months pp and my hair started falling out ridiculously at 3 mo. I'd be really worried if it weren't so thick b/c with the amount coming out, I could make wigs!!

Add me to the curly/frizzy bunch! I now shower at night and let my hair air dry. Not blow drying helps a lot. I've tried a LOT of curly hair products and for my hair the Suave mousse actually works best, which I know is weird. I always use a leave in conditioner as soon as I'm out of the shower.
