I have shoulder length fine hair that just never sits right. The only time I had it looking good was when I used Moroccan Oil that I had as a present, but that is mega bucks.

Also, no matter what it is always a total mess the next day.

Anyone try John F 3 days straight before?

The best product ever is 'its a ten' but hard to get in the uk.

Have recently started using silicone free products and my hair is so much better. It seems to have some life again rather than just dry and dead.

I use 3 day straight, it's a good product.

I've gone back to Aveda shampoo too, my hairs looking much better.

The Elnett styling spray has made a big difference to how my hair behaves. It's fine and straight so I use the 3 Days Volume one but there's one called 3 Days Straight too. It has heat protection too, and no 'flammable' warning like some hair products.
I discovered it before I saw Cheryl Cole advertising it!

I keep going back to Frizz Ease
I found Argan oil from eBay was also good if used vv sparingly

Also use clarifying shampoo once a month to remove build up of silicone etc.

Charles Worthington Hair healer leave-in conditioner.

A huge tube is about ÂŁ5, I use a tiny amount and it makes my hair strong and glossy.

I love it.

Aveda damage remedy conditioner
The sanctuary sachets you get in boots. So far i have tried the buttet shine sachet and the clay masque. Have the oil treatment one and another one to try.

VO5 hot oil - been using it since well before all the other oils came out. Also have fine hair shoulder length - makes it lovely and bouncy if I say so myself. I spend loads on hair products and always come back to this.

Agenda smooth infusion. Check out the reviews on makeupalley. Amazing stuff!

Sorry but its morrocan oil - makes my hair 'normal'

I use 3 Day Straight and sometimes it's great, sometimes it leaves my hair really sticky.

I can't work out why that is though - perhaps reacting to different conditioners, I change products a lot. It tends to work best when I've just dyed my hair.

What I have found is a really good alternative to Moroccan oil (which again, sometimes works great, sometimes has no effect - I must have weird hair) is Mellor and Russell Miracle Moisture Nourishing Hair Oil with Argan Oil from Poundland.

Redken Deep Fuel is amazing, but they've stopped making it. It works out a few quid per tube if you can get it.

Joico K Pak is supposed to be really good as well - it's on my list Grin

The best thing by far for conditioning my hair is La Riche Directions dye - but you're talking pretty wacky colours :)

another vote for Aussie - I use various stuff. best imho is the spray leave-in conditioner with heat (resisting? protecting?) something. brilliant stuff.

Coconut oil, just put a little in your hands until it melts and rub on scalp/hair lightly, leave for half an hour and wash. Turns dry lifeless hair into soft. Love it.

Naked shampoo and conditioner - silicone and SLS free. My hair used to be limp and greasy by the end of the day but now it holds its volume really well.

I have the same hair and can't do without Frizz ease for fine hair.

I love the opportunity to bang on about coconut oil.
It is magic! Slap it on at night, shower off in the morning: ta da! Full, swishy, shiny locks.
And it's cheap as chips. I get mine on eBay.

KMS flat out. Only products that turn a curly haystack in to something manageable.
