not exactly old fashioned but I too have/had straw like hair until I found frizeez hair serum after you have done the usual shampoo and condition wring you hair (do not towel dry) and add the serum to the bits you know to be like straw and leave to dry naturally works wonders and I am now thankfully frizz free it took me a good few years of trying all sorts until I hit onthis, its pricey at £6 quid ish for a tiny bottle but worth it!

I also find John Frieda's Frizz Eaze wonderful and it doesn't upset my very dry scalp. Look for three for the price of two offers. It does seem expensive, but you only need to use a tiny amount and it lasts for ages.

13 Health benefits of Virgin coconut oil

What is Virgin coconut oil ?
Virgin coconut oil is derived from fresh coconuts (rather than dried, as in copra). Most oils marketed as "virgin" are produced one of three ways:
1. Quick drying of fresh coconut meat which is then used to press out the oil.
2. Wet-milling (coconut milk). With this method the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. "Coconut milk" is expressed first by pressing. The oil is then further separated from the water. Methods which can be used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes and mechanical centrifuge.
3. Wet-milling (direct micro expelling). In this process, the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat after the adjustment of the water content, then the pressing of the coconut flesh results in the direct extraction of free-flowing oil.
