I'm sorry, but I can't resist the urge to pass on a hair styling product I just found. If you have curly hair, like me, you absolutely must try this stuff. It's outstanding. Plus it smells good.

Posted by: Rex on January 13, 2005 01:35 PMFrizz-Ease gives me dandruff...have you found this to be a problem with this product Jane? Also, I don't like it when my hair doesn't feel like, well, hair. What does your hair feel like on this product as opposed to naturally?

Posted by: Jane Galt on January 13, 2005 02:39 PMI like to be able to run my hands through a woman's hair and then pick my nose without having to wash my hands before (picking). If this stuff doesn't leave any residue on my fingers I will by it for her (my woman).
Posted by: bubba on January 13, 2005 04:46 PM'Easter basket grass' is without question the best description ever for this condition. Can't wait to use it the next time my douses her hair with the next volatile organic compound she selects.
Sorry to intrude on the girl talk.
Posted by: Fitz on January 13, 2005 04:51 PMIf you like good hair care products, find a place in NYC that sells Klorane shampoo. THe fragrances are subtle but luxurious, and the results for the health of your hair are terrific. Expensive but worth it.
Posted by: Black Bird on January 13, 2005 05:27 PMMy wife (a milk-white redhead with frizzy hair) has finally settled on "Black and Beautiful Wrap and Repair Lotion" as her cure. An endless source of humor.
Posted by: dubious on January 13, 2005 07:44 PMI'm also fond of "Shake Gel" by the same company. You shake up the (identical) little round bottle, spritz it all over your hair, and shake your head vigorously. There's a certain Easter-grassness involved since its purpose is to "define" curls or loose spikes or whatever, but using it makes me feel less like a soccer mom.
Posted by: Jamie on January 13, 2005 09:44 PMAs a long-haired male troubled by frizz and flyaway, I've been using the cheap Easter-basket grass gel, and have not been unhappy with it. I wash my hair of an evening, and goop up my towel-dried hair before going to sleep. in the morning it looks and feels ridiculous until I brush it vigorously, after which it feels natural but behaves itself.
As for Rex's comment regarding the list of ingredients, when I worked in the musk oil perfume factory we had an accident whereby twenty gallons of aftershave got pumped onto the floor instead of the tank. It softened the industrial epoxy paint, producing a gummy mess. Would you put something that does that on your skin? Why not? Propylene glycol is midway between alcohol and glycerine; it just happens to be a specific solvent for epoxy.
Posted by: triticale on January 14, 2005 08:34 AMThe warning label on it isn't worded too well. "Avoid fire, flame, smoking, and heat (except for styling appliances) during application and until hair is completely dry."
Except for styling appliances?
I'm thankful (as a guy) I can avoid putting products in my hair that are "flammable until dry."

It's a little more expensive, but I swear, my hair has never been so soft and frizz-free.
