I am 71 post menopausal with salt and pepper hair and my hair dresser describes it as course. Any thoughts or products I use a shampoo and conditioner specifically for grey hair. Thank you

My hair has always been very fine but thick.  It's not coarse so I wouldn't know.  However I'm wondering if your stylist suggested some products?

Same hair and type.  If you are open to coloring your hair, that will help.  Products that are holy grail products for me are Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner.  The one thing that makes a huge difference is to get a keratin treatment.  I get what's called "Keratin Light" every 8 weeks.  It really tames the coarseness and frizziness for about 6 weeks but does start wearing off around that mark.

@I am still oxox I'm still figuring it out too, but I actually use Cantu products which are the best so far, especially their curling creme. (I have curls) 

 

I find if I use their creme, a splash of olive oil for the hair (Hollywood Beauty brand), and then occasionally I will also put in aloe vera hair gel, it's helpful in keeping it in some semblance of order.

 

I also sleep in a satin cap at night, which does wonders at smoothing  in between.  

 

I am an Italian girl , not the customer this brand or products are aimed at, but if the hair fits... you might want to experiment with the ethnic hair aisle and see what works for you.

I just used some Bio Silk on my dry hair it took a bit of the courseness out of my hair. I will use this on wet hair and see how it dries

@I am still oxox - My hair tends to get some frizziness at times, my hairdresser recommended BioSilk, I just use a very small amount and smooth it over my hair before I style it, makes my hair silky and shiny, been using the same bottle for over a year now, a little goes a long way..

You might give the new Perlier conditioner a try.  It's really altered my hair texture without being heavy.

Caucasian coarse hair is NOT the same as African American & Black coarse hair.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's coarse, not course.
