My hair is always very frizzy when dry, any way I can take care of it without arrousing susspision from the rents?

I would suggest a smoothing conditioner used whenever you wash your hair, but maybe you already do, I dunno. It's not strange for anyone, male female or otherwise, to want to tame frizzy hair, I wouldn't worry about anyone's suspicions.

I agree with Shilo, There is nothing male or female about many hair products. Scents used are the only problem. Kill the frizzes with no fear.

I recommend trying Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth shampoo and conditioner.

I would highly recommend getting a flat iron, that's how I deal with frizz aside from the conditioner, but that might not be something you're willing to do.

I've heard that the "leave it in" kind of conditioner helps for frizzy hair. I've a headful of wavy frizzy hair but haven't tried that product as of yet.

You're not styling your hair in any way? How long is it? Maybe start looking up some hair styles for however long your hair is (short, medium, long) and use the defense that you just want your hair to look good. No harm in that, guys and girls do that.

For some women quality hair comes naturally but for most girls it's literally a battle.

Thinking of it reminds me of all the commercials for beauty products out there.

Worst of all, it's something everyone has their own solution to.

Myself, I've learned not to wash my hair everyday. In fact, it's best if I do very little to it at all.

My favorite conditioner is Paul Mitchell. (Purchased from a salon so that you don't get bottom of the barrel stuff)

A friend recommended that I only wash my hair once every two weeks but I was so used to washing my hair every night that

I kept ignoring her. Finally when I went on a trip I wasn't able to wash my hair for a while and one day I woke up and

my hair was PERFECT.

In fact, this might seem crazy but it helps to not even brush it at all. The more you brush it the more the abrasion can

dry it out.

Shower at night when it's the coldest and let your hair air dry.

Last but not least, I have a trick of my own that I haven't done in a while but it used to work great.

Put on a Santa hat and do a lot of exercise. The oils from your head get trapped inside when

you sweat and your hair becomes shiny and soft!

(I learned this by surprise while working as a valet around Christmas time)

Argan Oil. I only recommend Moroccan Oil, or One'n'Only Argan Oil as good brands. I have fabulous hair. (;

PS. Moroccan Oil cost 40$ per small bottle at Target, and One'n'Only is sold at Sally's Beauty supply store for 10$. .

I dunno about how well it works, but my (now ex) hairdresser used moroccan oil spray on my hair last time I went to her, and if nothing else it smelled amazing. I mean, like, I was sniffing my hair every ten minutes or so up until I washed it out. I wish I could afford to buy it.

OH ALSO. If you have very frizzy unmanageable hair, there is a simple and expensive solution. Dye your hair darker, like black/chocolate brown, dark hair dye closes the hair cuticles. Closing the hair cuticles make the hair really soft and shiney! Dark hair dye just changes the texture of hair in a good way. People dye it for the texture change rather then the color. Its actually very simple to do at home. IF DONE RIGHT.

So...

Dye your hair dark.

Apply a Hair Gloss(Not Glaze) every 2 months.

Wash your hair only 3-4 days a week, less is you can.

Condition a lot more than you shampoo.

Like I SAID ARGAN OIL is from heaven. C:

SLEEP in a loose braid!

Well those are my fabulous hair tips, hair tips get it? HA.

I to have been bothered by frizzy blow away hair. My hair is very thin and dry. This weekend I tried Volumizing Mousse in my hair. Wow. I put about about a tennis ball size rubbed into the ends of my wet hair. After blow drying, I have great control all day long. My hair is soft, doesn't feel sticky like hair spray does, and stayed pretty much put all day long. I'm sold on Volumizing Mousse. It made a great difference in styling my hair. Give it a try. I've found my solution. Kathryn

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.

      Mine was Hatshepsut, an Egyptian pharaoh who had to carry herself as a male in order to rule. I was completely facinated by her as a student.

      Well it was a good day at work I got everything done I needed to do. My audits came out right and everything.  I had to fix the printer on one pump. It wouldn’t cut the paper and needed two parts replaced.  The District Manager left us Thank you bags,  Murphy Bucks and candy.  We can use Murphy bucks to buy things in the store, or pay for gas.  I guess next week the Area Manager will be around to check on things.  He would be the next layer higher.  Well my eyelids are starting to get heavy, time for a nap.thats the only thing about opening the store it definitely causes me to need a nap.

      Interesting point. I was raised Catholic and was intensely intrigued by the lives of saints. Similar to your obsession with Mulan, I was particularly drawn to Joan of Arc, a 15th century saint who took on the guise of a man to lead the French army to victory over the English in the Hundred Years' War. Later, she was sold out by the Burgundians to the English who brought multiple charges against her as a heretic, including claiming she could communicate directly with God (which undermined the church's authority), and wearing men's clothes. At one point, while imprisoned, she was made to dress in women's clothes, which she did, but was later found again in men's attire which she said she preferred. She was eventually burnt at the stake at age 19. Rather gruesome tale, but not atypical of the stories of Catholic martyrs.

      I just read something a FB friend posted about guilt.  I am changing it somewhat for here.   There are things you should not feel guilty about because they are not wrong.  Being transgender is one. People like to send us on guilt-trips about it, intentionally or unintentionally.   There are things you have actual guilt about whether you feel guilty or not.  If you murder someone, you may not feel any guilt.   The FEELING of guilt can be widely separated from objective guilt. All of us need to train ourselves to not feel guilty about things we are not guilty of,, and to feel guilty about the things we are guilty of.  It is not easy.
