Reddit mentions of Herbal Essences Naked Cleansing Conditioner 16.9 Fl Oz,

Two suggestions,

First off, I used coal tar for a bit, but have recently switched to a "cleansing conditioner". It washes your hair without drying out your scalp, works about as well as coal tar and doesn't smell awful.

This is the stuff I use,

To answer your question though, when I used coal tar, I would just be sure to condition my hair afterward and that took a lot of the stink out of it.

Sure!!! I LOVE all things beauty and hair!

Try conditioner washing with a cleansing conditioner. It won't strip your oils like shampoo while still cleaning your hair I use this https://www.amazon.com/Herbal-Essences-Naked-Cleansing-Conditioner/dp/B00F4TQ49I/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1498631428&sr=8-1&keywords=herbal+essence+cowash

Can you explain exactly how you used the diffuser? How you held it, hot how hot the hairdryer was, how long you used it? That might help. I can't go without my diffuser!

I would try to go completely shampoo-free for 2-3 weeks. See what happens. You do need to give your hair time to adjust to it. It may take a while, but it WILL generate much less oil over time. After a few months, I could go without washing my hair (at all--no conditioner, nothing) for a week without it being noticeable. Well, noticeable in terms of oil--my curls weren't exactly at their best at that point. :)

If you really can't go without the shampoo, try something gentler. I can't remember off the top of my head if it's 100% Curly Girl Method-friendly (there are no parabens/sulfates at least), but I love the Herbal Essences Naked Cleansing Conditioner if plain conditioner isn't cutting it that day.

Also, for frizz, have you tried leaving conditioner in your hair? I don't get a lot of results from leave-in conditioner, so I'll usually literally leave some regular conditioner in my hair rather than wash it out.
