Do curl defining shampoos, conditioners and mousses ACTUALLY work?

i have straightish hair and used to like to scrunch it but recently, it doesn't curl as good as it used to.





i was just wondering if using curl defining volumising mousses and stuff ACTUALLY work???





if they do, could you reccommend any to me?





thanks =)Do curl defining shampoos, conditioners and mousses ACTUALLY work?
Yes, they will give it ';body';, meaning that they leave behind something on the hair that binds with it and makes it have more ';tension';, so that it will hold a shape longer.





Your straight hair has not ';tension';, its completely relaxed and will not hold anything unless you put a gel, or something that ';stiffens'; the hair. By putting on these products you ';coat'; each hair and its the coating that holds the hair in place. Once the coating is gone, (either washed out, or reduced by sweat), then you lose the ';binding quality'; of the hair shampoo.





Gels and mousse are different. You dont ';wash'; them out, as they stay in the hair like a glue that will hold any shape that you want. (Mohawks are a great example). You ';have'; to wash that mess out of your hair, as ordinary sweat wont affect the glue like capacity in the gel or mousse.





Sorry I cant recommend a good product, as my darling Daughter who has a lot of ';body'; in her hair WANTS IT STRAIGHT! Go Figure! sheesh!





I wish you well...

yes they do work but only if you have hair with some bit of a wave/kink in it to begin with!


i would suggest layering your hair.if your hair is long it can be too heavy to curl (especially if you have thick hair)





i would recommend either john frieda or else shockwaves curl defining mousse (its cheaper and it does work!)
i have no idea, i'm a guy with medium-length hair, and i like to keep it straight.
hi, i think this is a very gud option it will work trust me. my sister uses it and its been about 2-3years and no prob lemo. prices are gud and i suggest that you use Vo5 hair mousse. wid a little foam on the spot of you hair, it will stary getting a little soft and start curling in secs.
no they don't but tesco's mouse does its cheap to but amazingly it works better than all the other stuff!x!good luck x
I would go with copperpin's answer I'm a hairdresser to and I agree.
it depends how good they are. the brand name matters. sorry.. i can't help you with curl defining things, because i hate my curly hair, i straighten it.
the tigi curls rock stuff is really good
Nope, if you have natural curls, there are things to make them look defined, but if you don't have curls, the best thing is a curling iron (trust me, I've tried about 10 different products)
Yes ***-wipe

I have SLIGHTLY wavy hair (almost straight). Will curl enhancing shampoos, etc make it wavier? ?

Any recommendations? Thanks xI have SLIGHTLY wavy hair (almost straight). Will curl enhancing shampoos, etc make it wavier? ?
I have really straight hair.





On days I want my hair wavy, I use John Freida brilliant brunette shampoo and conditioner, like every day. Then, I towel dry my hair, and DON'T comb it. If you HAVE to comb it, try your fingers or a REALLY wide tooth comb. I comb out my bangs, though. I spray **Sunsilk waves of envy ocean mist** throughought my hair, and scrunch it. It gives my hair body and amazing waves, without making it crunchy or dirty. Then i just let it airdry. If you sprayed too much and your hair is a liitle tough, blowdry on cool for a little, it softens them.





Seriously, waves of envy is all you need!I have SLIGHTLY wavy hair (almost straight). Will curl enhancing shampoos, etc make it wavier? ?
Aww! Haha, sorry! (I live in Canada, though =P) I'm sure theres some sort of a spray wave product that would have a simliler effect! Report Abuse

I had the same style hair, it got on my nerves... wasn't straight wasn't wavy!! :@ Haha








I tried a load of different shampoos and conditioners including quite expensive ones but none seemed to work. In the end i got bored and now i have a bob :)
Honestly, none of them really work.

Do shampoos and conditioners designed for curl enhancement reduce the length that your hair falls??

I have really curly and frizzy hair, and i want my hair to drop drop more instead of curling up really high and making it seem shortDo shampoos and conditioners designed for curl enhancement reduce the length that your hair falls??
I would suggest that you use a de-frizzing system, like a shampoo, conditioner and product set. Swich them once a month to prevent build-up though. Aso try buying a brush that says it's straightening, and use it when you blow dry.Grow your hair out, and don't get trims but every four months,when you have to in order to prevent split ends.Do shampoos and conditioners designed for curl enhancement reduce the length that your hair falls??
the curl will be enhanced, which means it will be tighter curl giving you a shorter look.


I would suggest either letting it good out a little or while wet pull your hair downward while blow drying.





but to me!! your hair sounds like a dream! if its cut properly and


if it matches you! then dont change a thing!
NO! SHAVE YOUR HEAD

Will my hair curl if I wash it with shampoo for curly hair?

I have wavy hair, and i was wondering if I washed it with, say, Herbal Essences Totally Twisted shampoo (for curly hair) and used the conditioner that goes with it, would it make my hair a little curlier than usual or just leave it the same? and what if i wash it with shampoo for straight hair, like the Dangerously Straight one from Herbal Essences, would it make it straighter than usual? Thanks!!!





ps. what would you recommend (other than braiding and paper bags) to make my hair curl a little more than usual? especially over night? thanks!!!Will my hair curl if I wash it with shampoo for curly hair?
No, shampoos for curly hair are formulated to enhance curls and usually control frizz. If your hair isn't curly it won't make it curly. If your hair isn'tstraight the shampoo won't make it straight. It will only make whatever type of hair your have easier to manage depending on the typical prolems for that typer of hair. There is nothing really other than braiding or twisting your hair that would make it curly. You could get an actual perm and that would give your hair a semi permenant curl to it. Hope this helps ;-))))))Will my hair curl if I wash it with shampoo for curly hair?
ialso tried the purple herbal essences for curly hair and i didnt think it curlied my hair at all but it sure smells good:) but i found out on ayoutube vid that if you put your hair into a bun and sleep with it over night it make your hair a little curlier..i tried it and it acturally works.but sometimes theres curls that are kinda ugly but at least you dont have to use any heat.i'll send you the youtube vid:)
it just helps you maintain your curly hair. and dangerously straight does not work. i've tried it and it just left my hair soft and it smelt nice but didnt make it straighter.





the best way to get even more curlier hair would be just to french braid. it really does work. better then normal braid. just leave it overnight.
no, I don't think.


You could scrunch it, but don't make it the regular crunchy way because that doesn't look natural, I would use a light gel instead.


Also, you could get a small barreled curling iron and curly your hair, you could find a tutorial on youtube.
i have tht totally twisted shampoo, and i washed my hair with it a like 7 2day and then i put in some totally twisted curl boosting moose (by Herbal Essenes) and my hair i somewhat more curly than normal.
Yes, herbal essences will leave it more curly or straight. (I have curly hair and it makes my hair wavy so it is MUCH less heat I use. and when I want it curly is leaves it WILD because my hair is already so crazy.)
No, i don't think so.


I think the shampoo is for if you are going to curl your hair, so it makes it easier.

Or does it suck


Because i was gonna get Sunsilk Captivating Curls De Frizz lines but i dont know if that works.Does Herbal Eseence Totally Twisted Shampoo and Conditioner Help Define Curls without the Frizz?
I heard the sunsilk hydrating curls conditioner (i think thats the name) works wonders for defining curls. Are you combing/brushing your hair while its drying or while it is dry. Combing/brushing curls when they are dry is what creates frizz. Try skipping the shampoo and co-washing instead. Leave a bit of the conditioner in your hair, do not rinse all of it out and let your hair air dry without touching. If you need to detangle than do it while your hair is wet and full of conditioner and then rinse, but do not rinse out all of the conditioner. You will be left w/ smooth, moisturized, frizz free, and defined curls.
