Would a smoothing shampoo/conditioner work to

weigh down/elongate curls and reduce frizz? Has anyone ever tried this?

Even a shampoo for "straight hair?" Would it work like that if you used it but didn't blow dry/flat iron?

Dumb question?

The boards quiet tonight. I just think there have been enough people on tonight to answer your question.

I have no idea. But if you keep bumping, you will probably get a few responses.

I've used the Ion keratin smoothing shampoo and the Ion straightening conditioner and it didn't do anything for my hair. These types of products used to work on my relaxed hair. I think they are made for frizzy type 1-2 hair. I'm gonna try this product though:

I think it could help to reduce frizz.

Thanks for the input. I was looking at organix brazillian keratin shampoo/conditioner for "ever straight" hair the other day.

I usually use that kind of "smoothing" or straightening shampoo when I was going to flat iron... but I thought it might have some effect on the curls if you didn't.

But then again... if it worked like that, I'm sure I wouldn't be the first to bring it up here.

Theresa, perhaps there's an heat activation element that is required for these products.

I might have to check out that Frizz product you linked. Thanks!
