My hair is 2c/m/ii and since I've stopped using the blow dryer my hair is softer and shinier, which is good :), but it is also slippery, which is not so good :mad:. It slips right out of my new flexi ( size small). I shampoo every other day with White Rain extra body and I really like it and I've been using Thermasilk volumizing conditioner. When I blow dried it was fine, I guess it frazzled it enough so that it wouldn't slip out of clips and things.

So, have any of you had this problem and what works for you? I want a little slip so that it detangles easily, but not so much that I can't put it up. Also, I'm on a pretty tight budget at the moment so dollar store products would be ideal!

Does your shampoo or conditioner contain cones? I'm not familiar with those products because we don't get them over here. I just know that when I use cones, nothing will stay in my hair. Not even an elastic!

When my hair gets very slippery from CO-ing, I use an ACV rinse. It helps with the slipperyness but makes my hair look greasy faster.

I think White Rain has cones in it (please correct me if I am wrong!), but I am not sure about the conditioner (although I can guess that it does). I find that cones make my hair slippery and not in a good way. You might want to try a shampoo and conditioner that are cone-free to see if that makes a difference and whether your hair likes cones or no cones better.

I don't know if the White Rain shampoo has cones or not, but the ThermaSilk conditioner has dimethiconol, is that a cone? I think I'll try a cone free conditioner as suggested and see how that works.

Thanks for helping!!!
