cyana, thanks for starting this - I finally got around to searching for a new thread! I'll read to catch up and then come back to post (more gray hair woes).

Have you tried any serums for lash growth? I've had trials of a number of them from Amazon. I find that they work somewhat - for me, they mainly give me a bit of growth so that mascara seems to work a little better. Quote:
My remaining brown hair is straight, fine, and soft. It need conditioning or it tangles - but I CANNOT go without washing OR use any type of oils, as it gets limp and greasy (believe me, I've tried MANY oil products, and none of them have worked for me; I always regret it). Unfortunately, the gray hairs coming in are coarse, dry, and kinky/curly. I've been trying to condition more, but I can't seem to condition them enough to get rid of those frizzy ends. Is there a shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, or other product that might do a better job on my hair mix? I prefer drugstore stuff (I'm cheap and don't want to have to hunt all over for products). I should mention that I do blow dry my hair daily; sometimes I am reluctant to use leave-in products b/c they make my hair more wet, making blow drying take longer. I also use a flat iron most days, sometimes to go smoother, sometimes for a more wavy look. My stylist told me to use my iron on the highest setting - she said I'll need to use it less and it will help me to smooth the grays, but I question whether this is best for my fine hair. Do others have thoughts?

Beth, what helps my gray most is not to wash my hair every day, just the bangs as my forehead is oily. My brown hair seems okay with it too. So I guess I’m not much help, unfortunately.
But I have a fragrance allergy and use Paula’s Choice shampoo and conditioner, and Free and Clear shampoo and conditioner. Perhaps Paula’s Choice would work for you. The shampoo really cleans the hair, but the conditioner is very moisturizing. I used to have really oily hair and rarely used conditioner, even though I lived in the desert. Times have changed!

I recently tried switching shampoo to sulfate free and all… Nope, I’m back to my Head and Shoulders shampoo and conditioner. I’m growing out my hair and I have white stripes along my face with stripes underneath. My hair has gotten more wavy as time has gone by and I just prefer the way the Head and Shoulders stuff makes my hair soft. Don’t know if this helps….

Beth, I don't have many gray hairs yet but I have frizz. After you wash and condition you might try a spray-on leave-in conditioner. I use Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray. I don't color my hair but it works for frizz. It's pricey but it works. I'm sure you can find something cheaper. Like bunnyhop I also use Function of Beauty from the website. It took three tries to get the formula right but once I did it's the best shampoo and conditioner I ever used.
