I have this product and it does not seem to work for me. How are you using it?

Mizani,
I take Omega-3 w/ Flaxseed Oil( by Andrew Lessman) and it has peppermint oil and spearmint oil in it so that you can't taste the fishy taste. I buy it from HSN. If you don't want to purchase it maybe you should try putting a few drops of peppermint oil in what you already have to see if that works.

I think the key to fighting the frizz is to use the moisture block on clean damp hair. I find that if I use it right before I rollerset my hair, it will NOT frizz up and the style last for days. If I use it on dry hair that has been washed more than 3 days ago, it's not as effective. Don't give up on it!!! Try experimenting w/ this on wet hair right before you style.

Thank you. I will keep experimenting. I think the key for me in the summer is to wash every 4 days anyway.

Flaxseed oil is nasty. When I finished the bottle, I switched to Fish oil capsules (the kind that don't cause fish burbs). But I'll probably be going back to flaxseed oil 'cause it did wonders for my menstral cycle.
