Dear Mireille, In search of information about frizzy hair, I came across your website. First of all my compliments for the beautiful website, for the first time a site where I immediately got “stuck”! I find it clear, well-arranged and I get information that I can use. That is why I wanted to email you for some advice.
My name is Kim and I am 30 years old. Originally I come from India, but because I am a half-blood, I also have frizzy hair. I have medium-length dark brown/black hair, on the front of my head I have a lot of frizzy hair (your bangs, so to speak, although I did not cut it as a bang). For the rest I have a lot of curls from the middle of my hair, when it gets longer, they become ringlets. At the bottom of my hood/hair I also have frizzy hair. When I was young, it was a thick, full head of hair, now that I am getting older it has become a lot thinner. I think it partly has to do with my age, that your hormones have an influence on this.
The problem is that my hair has been very dull and dry for over a year. The shine has gone and I occasionally suffer from dandruff, it is lifeless and I don't know what to do with it anymore. I don't use chemical products, let my hair air dry and trim it regularly. I have regularly asked for advice at the so-called "toko" in the neighborhood, I then buy a shampoo and a conditioner that they recommend, but it doesn't help. At the moment I use olive shampoo and olive oil ... What would you advise me to use? Would a hair mask be something? Should I cut it a lot shorter? I hope you can help me.
Awaiting your response.
Kind regards, Kim

Hi Kim,
Thank you for the compliments and your detailed description.
People with African roots hair always have more than one type of curls on their head. Exactly as you describe, you often see that the hair is frizzier at the front. With me, the hair in the middle is much frizzier than the rest of my head. What you describe I recognize because it is normal to see more than three hair types on a head with people with curls.
Especially in people with mixed blood it is clearly visible that hair changes every 7 to 10 years. In any case, the hair we are born with as a baby is not the same type of hair as when we are 10 years old but 
especially during puberty you can see a difference. Children with straight hair suddenly have curls when they are teenagers. This certainly has to do with hormones and age. So this all sounds quite normal.
Although many, many frizzy haired women suffer from dry hair but this is not normal. Hair should not feel dry at all because dry hair is brittle. The chance of hair breakage is even greater with frizzy and curly hair because every bend is basically a break point. You can see that when the hair breaks. It usually breaks right in the bend at the point where the curl forms.
Dry hair can have several causes. Food can be a cause, but assuming you have a normal diet with enough protein, vegetables and water, we can look at hair care.
The hair products from the store usually contain ingredients that are on the “to avoid list”. Here is the link:
http://www.organicbeautytalk.com/ingredients-to-avoid. Almost all shampoos contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) for example
Products with these types of ingredients dry out frizzy hair very much and are also often the cause of a dry, flaky scalp.
What I recommend you do is first do a Detox for your hair that will really cleanse the hair deeply but also add minerals. You will notice the difference right away.
You could try the Going Natural Detox Treatment but if your hair is thin I would recommend the Going Natural Herbal Shampoo and the Detox Conditioner . To keep your hair supple I would also recommend the Curly Twistout Hair Cream . Besides protecting your curls it also gives you nice tight curls.
Hopefully this will help you. I would like to hear if the treatment has helped you too.
