Frizz and Tangle Tamer

I have long hair, and while I do everything I can to keep it in good shape nutritionally, and in terms of proper thyroid treatment, I still have to deal with the fact that it's drier, coarser, and tangles more easily these days.

Just to complicate things, I also have an oily scalp, so I can't just pour on oils and conditioners, or my hair looks dirty and limp by midday.

What I really have found helpful is a product recommended by my hairdresser: TIGI Bed Head Ego Boost Split End Mender and Leave-In Conditioner. After shampooing, I rub it in my hands, and apply to my hair from about mid-way down to the ends (to avoid the scalp), and it smoothes out the frizzies, and adds some moisture and shine, and actually can help detangle.

TIGI products are available at some drugstores, and most beauty supply stores and salons.
