Goal:To style my hair without damaging it. ----------------------------------- Story: When i was 14 years old I use to put a lot of gel on my hair. Every morning till night it use to stay on. Before going to bed i use to wash my hair but one day when i woke up my i saw some of my hair on my pillow. I was very worried so i stopped putting gel on my hair. Then i used Olive oil to style the hair but it smelt so badly, I got rid of that also,Then i used this product called Oil Therapy( It had all these kinds of oils on it, it did not smell though ) -- IT GAVE ME HEADACHES. I then went back to using gel for 2 days and my hair started to fall out again. I now stopped using stuff on my hair but now it looks really bad. ----------------------------- Questions: Can someone tell me a hair styling product that can help style my hair but in a way that it can not damage it? I also used conditioner which made my hair fall off a lot. I have hair but it looks so bad when it is down. ------------------------------ Where you come in =p: Ideas you can give me of some products you use.

I use aloe vera gel and it works very well. Get the brand called Fruit of the Earth, you can get it at Walmart in the lotion section. It's 100% natural aloe vera. Aloe vera is very moisturizing. It's good for the hair and skin. Also I don't know if there's a Sally's Beauty Supply near you but if there is go and get a product called Aphogee http://www.aphogee.com/products.cfm It helps strengthen the hair. My hair sheds a lot and I use this and I see less hair in my comb.

I've been using suave hair gel and moose products for about 4 yrs now. I get some hair fall but it's not due to the gel/moose. For some reason i think that hair falling off has to do with people showering with hot water. In my country (where i was born, not where i live now) people don't really lose their hair but when they come to the US (where i am now) they start to loose hair. In my country, they don't have hot water and in the US they have hot water and people use it EVERY TIME. Hot water might have a connection to hair fall. Some products: Suave gel / moose. Garnier shampoo stuff.
