Thanks for all the responses, r/o...

tym - My hair is about 21' long. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that.

Nitsa - Yes, I really am in need of a trim! I can't believe I didn't connect this with tangles! I've been curious about dusting. I've heard it mentioned here and gather that it's a technique to get rid of just split ends and not length. Is this a fairly common technique among hair stylists? I'm afraid if I asked my regular stylist to do this she wouldn't know what it is.

LisaJaney - I appreciate all the input! I will try the CWC technique you mentioned. I think I read about the other one but that sounded too complicated for me to figure out! LOL I really like Aussie Slip too. I had been using it recently but a few weeks ago I switched to Terax Crema conditioner. I am quite happy with that one right now... we'll see how long that lasts. lol

Michelle - Thanks so much for the rec. I will definitely look for that product. I love trying new things all the time. Btw, besides being fine my hair is chemically processed and dry (though it's been 7 months since my last highlight) so it could definitely use all the moisture it can get.

Thanks again for all of the helpful comments!
