It also works to kill wasps and yellow jackets. Completely OT, I know, but I just *had* to share! I really hate those buggers..... I have very slippery, fine hair as well, and decently long (mostly about bra-strap length...it just won't grow much further), but not in any great quantity, alas. I've noticed that I have a LOT more success keeping the stuff braided and quiescent, and the wispy bits controlled, if it's, well, not exactly freshly washed. I suspect that the residual oils remaining even if I rinse, but don't use shampoo, serve much the same function (in this case) as would a styling product. Adds a bit of texture/volume, etc. --Sue
