hair like an old brush

dunworth1

so my hair might as well be an old brush if i leave it grow beyond a few centimetres its uncontrollable ive tried pretty much all the styling gels
none are able to keep it in place.

ive tried a few different conditioners while they help marginally
they dont really ive tried putting in argan oil and moroccan oil over night
again pretty much no improvement

is there a shampoo/conditioner out there that can help me?

i just want all my hair to sit down without bits sticking out all over the place like a bush

any recommendations please

Just be thankful you actually have a full head of hair! Keep it cut as short as possible.

Learn how to blow-dry it

Go to a hairdresser and get them to thin out your hair.

I wouldn't say my hair is like a brush....buts definitely prone to frizzyness...if I don't blow dry my hair (while brushing it straight )..it's a complete mess....I have found a shampoo and conditioner that helps..it's called sabastian hydre and you can get it on amazon....however there are different types of ftizzy hair....my hair is very fine and now also grey and colour treateD. ..from your post it sounds more like your hair is course and thick.....in any case a good hairdresser will be able to "diagnose " your hair and reccomend products....kerastase and redkin are good high end brands....expensive though. ...I had to try a few until I ft ound one that worked......also the right "cut"...could do wonders for short unruly hair....you probably need to visit a salon as opposed to barbers

Go to a good hairdresser and see if there's any way they can recommend a style that will work with your hair. Would you consider a brazilian blow dry? It's a keratin treatment which does wonders for frizzy hair. It might not be economical for men because it works best on longer hair. Alternatively you could keep your hair very short.

You might have to learn to live with your hair and just find a way to style it that works with the bushiness.

I can relate op. Once I let my hair grown beyond about 40mm there is nothing in the world that will keep it sitting down properly. I get this "frill" of hair jutting out all around the back of crown. It looks really scruff but all the get or wax in the world won't keep it down. I either have to keep it cut short or let it grow long enough so that it will lay down on its own so i just keep it short.

Some of you might mention my hair thinning problem. Just got my hair cut at the weekend and on looking at my crown I can't see as much of my scalp as I used to. Hair feels thicker when I run my hand through it too.

Hi OP,

I think the biggest thing you could do it go to a proper unisex hairdresser and get them to thin it out with a scissors. They could also probably recommend some products, but thinning out the volume is going to be what makes a real difference.

From what I understand most barbers use razors etc, which is going to leave the hair length all very uniform, and if its coarse in any way, this will give it a bristle-ish effect.

I bought some John Freda shampoo and conditioner and it seems to be helping a bit
