Smoothing Gels/Sprays/Shampoos?

Are there any smooting gels or sprays or other such products that can be applied when the hair is not wet or damp? My hair is really long and takes a long time to dry, even with a blow dryer, so I wash it at night. I have an Aussie smoothing gel I use, but by morning, my hair is frizzy again. Or perhaps a really good anti-friz stuff that would last through sleeping?Smoothing Gels/Sprays/Shampoos?
I have been cursed with dry, frizzy, fine hair all my adult life, and when I was younger it was thick and bushy as well.





The only way I found to tame it was to brush in a little jojoba oil, starting at the ends and then brushing down, four inches at a time (but with yours, maybe you could get away with eight!). After a thorough brushing to distribute the oil evenly, the hair became wavy rather than frizzy and far easier to handle. It also felt better after the next wash.





The other thing I discovered, which might be good if you live in a hard water area, is Shikakai powder. This is Indian soapnut, the fruit of the acacia, and it is particularly good for making hair feel silky (and therefore less likely to frizz). You mix it in a pot with some water until it is the consistency and appearance of mud. You then rub well in and leave it a few minutes - the longer the better, but 5-10 minutes is fine. You then rinse it out and dry it as normal.





It's made in Mumbai, India. I get it from: http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/acatalog/�?/a>





but you can also get it at a price from Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Hesh-Shikakai-Herb�?/a> or from:

supper skinny serum by paul mitchel but they make the same stuff in almost every brand, its just this silky oilish stuff you run through your hair at the ends, its not oil at all but it makes my hair lay down more and less frizzy i use Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine which is an anti-friz serum...its smells ok but the paul mitchel kind smells better and so do others....try it out...but don't put in near your roots or it might end up looking greasy...just the tips....hope this helps!
the product in the video below is from mixed chicks. it really is the only consistent thing i use that works. but sorry, you do have to air dry. believe me, i have tried many systems and this works best. good luck:
Since you like Aussie products, call their customer service number and ask their advice.
