    Ladies, that L'Oreal Evercream I was talking about is great! Been using it for a couple of weeks now and my hair is shinier, feels thicker, has a tad more body, feels softer and actually seems to stay cleaner longer. I recommend it highly. Available in drugstores and probably Target, etc.

    I will put it on my list to check out. I am going to get some coconut water today and try it.

    About a year ago I switched hairdressers, and starting using their products, called Healium, and it has helped, even here in the humidity capital of Florida. My hairdresser did sell me a different conditioner last night that she used while I was there, Macadamia Professional Weightless Moisture Conditioner. So far it does not really work any better than the Healium. My hair is much healthier since using Healium, I even started growing more hair, and the new hair is not gray. Go figure.

    so glad to hear somethings are working. I will have to put it on my list to try.

    @klkarlen, I need to find some of that Healium! Mine is coming in grey all over. What there is left of it. I have lost so much hair in the last year or so, I feel almost bald (I have, and have always had, lots) But my single braid is now much less thick than when I had double braids, and I have wads of hair in the comb everyday. My doc basically said it was the aging, and there's nothing to do about it. *sigh*

    They don't have a way to sell directly to the consumer yet on their website, but your salon can order it: http://www.healiumhair.com/index.html

    The way it was explained to me from my doctor is: we don't produce as much oil as we age. So, our hair becomes dry and curly.

    I use Paul Mitchell Skinny products when I want to blow it out and flat iron it, but Paul Mitchell also makes a curly hair mouse, shampoo & conditioner for the times when you just want to go au natural.

    Yep. Paul Mitchell is a great product line. Look for sulfate free products too, a lot less harsh than a regular shampoo.

    I really dont mind the curly part. I have been using the coconut water, which makes it feel soft but it still looks frizzy unless I tone it down with a curling iron. I love the smell of Paul Mitchell. I haven't used any of their products in awhile.

    I will check it out! I am going on a cruise and will spending some time in salt water. That is never good for your hair.

    it comes in a tube so it is great for travel. ANd it will save your hair from salt.

    . I used to use this amazing shampoo from Seashore called Jonathan. It made my hair look like it never did before. Bit it was $20 a bottle and now I haven't seen it in a while so...

    Thanks for mentioning it. Jonathan is still $20 and sold on Amazon.

    I use Paul Mitchell Skinny products. It makes hair shine and manageable.
