Any cheap Frizz-Ease alternatives?

Hey all

I use Frizz Ease (purple one - extra strength) to tame my giant hair, but money is tight at the moment and I was wondering whether there are any good cheaper alternatives?

I do normally buy it when it's 342 in Boots or somewhere, but it would be nice to know if there was an alternative.

Thanks

    Maybe try to work with your natural wave/ curl instead of fighting it? Starting with Curly Girl techniques made a difference to the manageability of my hair within a week, the first thing I tried was quitting sulphate shampoos and silicone conditioners/ styling products. Having been mostly CG since early last year I now have two distinct hair types, the top half which is healthy and controllable, and the older damaged part which needs a ton of conditioner and/ or styling products to tame. Some great articles here that don't just apply to those with curly hair http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/author/tonyamckay

    Coconut oil soaks/ heat treatments are an alternative to silicones, lauric acid is a very small molecule so can penetrate the cuticle, and doesn't weigh hair down or make it look greasy providing you wash out the excess. Also try dilute white vinegar rinses after washing, a certain amount of fluff/ !!!!!!/ frizz is down to the cuticle being raised and the charge on the hair. I doubt either will work if you have a permanent coating of Frizz Ease tho.
