hi lauren
thanks for replying :o)
i might try it, where do you get it from? can it be bought from the supermarket, and how much was it, can you remember?

[Connemmara]

yes looby loo I would be interested in that hair products - where would you buy it - may be in a private salon.

the best thing for giving your hair bounce in the shortest amount of time is getting it cut. Layers help put the bounce back in your hair and stop it from being so heavy on top (which causes it to look lank)

[Connemmara]

do not want to get my hair cut short as I said in another post - hairdresser cut it too short it took 7 months for it to grow again. Just want like a bob-like curly style.

Don't put conditioner near the scalp or all over your hair if it's heavy or lank, just apply it to the ends or no further up than halfway.

never use conditioner - can we get back to original post - where can I buy Redken shampoo etc

Looby - I used Ojon products - you can get them from QVC shopping channel or on Ebay. I use their thickening shampoo, its lovely. I can't use any type of conditioner, my hair can't take it.

Connemmara, the original post is about conditioner (and shampoo).....?

I forgot to mention loooby that I use Charles Worthington products which work well for me

thanks all for your answers!
den, as it happens i tried some of that ojon today, my auntie uses it and gave me some in a tub to try, and do you know what, it was brilliant!
i couldnt get over the thickness of my hair after washing and styling it, and its given it some bounce too! so yes, im definately going to look into buying some.
ive heard its quite expensive, but i only used a little drop today and it was enough to lather up my long hair, and if it works, well, its worth it isnt it.
so, connemmara that might be worth you trying for your hair too..?
and thanks robina, i took your tip too on only conditioning the length of my hair.
ok i did apply just a tinsy bit to the scalp, but not as much as id usually apply, and yes i think that helped too! - so thank you.
thanks for the redken site craft - will have a look in a minute
and odinslay, im not one for going to hairdressers if i can help, so that would be my last resort, but yeah, i agree layers can give a bit of body to long lank hair cant they.
i will have a look on qvc and ebay den and see what i can get with the ojon products because my hair today is feeling and looking quite lovely, much better than it has been doing for a while now!
thanks again all for your helps, much appreciated ladies, thank you :o)

Use herbal hair products for your hair that will keep your straight hair healthy and strong. Here in the following website you can get some best hair care tips. Visit at http://www.hairstylestalk.com/hair/index.htm

use mousse or strong spritz - shampoo & conditioner are not for thickening hair

philip kingsley's elasticiser - brilliant stuff

p.s. it's neither a shampoo nor conditioner - you put it on before you shampoo
