Hi,about my hair,I really have not got a clue how to look after it aside from washing.I have no idea about conditioners,serums,oils etc,what they are for and do I need their use.So please bear with me.

So,today faced with the vast array of hair products,I bought something I think might be what I am after.You see,my hair is a cross between straight and curly and is fairly well out of control,umanageable and untidy most of the time,despite my efforts.(it is 6 inch long)

So what I got was it says leave-in cream,24/7 instant smoothing cream for hair that tends to kink or frizz(it smells awful,fruity,wasp bait).What I would like to know,would this stuff help sort out my hair, that is make it a bit tidier?

Honestly I am clueless on this stuff.

Sakina's suggestion of checking out Oiodad products is a good one. 

If you want to try the "simple" approach, you could try using some jojoba oil (which has no scent) on the length/ends.  This will moisturize the hair and give it a bit of "weight" which can help with the flyaway/frizzies.  When you first start out oiling, I ususally recommend doing it at night so that it can soak in by morning.  If you've overdone the oil, a quick shampoo will resolve it in the morning.  Once you get used to how much oil to use, you can apply it after shampooing - to your wet hair, then let your hair air dry.  Your curls will be more defined and less frizzy.

Aloe vera gel is also great for taming the frizzies - just be sure the gel does not have alcohol in it (that would dry out your hair).  The gel is not sticky on the hair, but it helps to control the hair and to provide moisture.

I tend to go the simple approach myself, but I know there are many very satisfied users of the Ouidad products - Sakina being just one of them.  I've thought of trying the products myself, but my jojoba oil and aloe vera gel work so well for me, I figure why change??!! 

I agree - when people complain about excessive hair growth, I cringe.  I'd love to have that kind of hair growth.
