Fight the FRIZZ!


The very sound of the word "frizz" can make many women have flashbacks to bad hair days. Days marked by random little curls sticking out of an otherwise flawless ponytail or patches of stringy hairs sticking out from the top of your favorite style. The good news is, there are many cures for this "disease." Here are some of my favorite products to ban frizz from start to finish!

Shampoo/Conditioner
1)Super Skinny, Paul Mitchell
This shampoo/conditioner combo is a favorite of many! The fresh kiwi scent and high "suds-ability" of the shampoo make this a product enjoyable to use as well as beneficial in overall effect. According to Paul Mitchell, the system smooths, softens, and reduces dry time.



2)Sleek Look, Matrix

If there is one product I can guarantee will reduce frizz from the start, it is Sleek Look by Matrix. This stuff smells fresh, produces great suds, and leaves your hair feeling silky smooth after the first rinse of the conditioner. You should only use about a quarter size of the conditioner as to not leave the hair greasy looking.


Serums/Lotions/Leave-in conditioners
1) Darn Straight Leave-In Lotion by Straight Sexy Hair

This is lotion made for hair! The fruity smell and weightless texture make this a good choice for people with less severe cases of frizz. It is perfect for a straight or wavy style. Apply to damp hair and style as usual.

2)Super Skinny Serum, Paul Mitchell

As you can see, the entire Super Skinny line is a tried and true "go to" product for frizz of all kinds. Once again, the fresh, kiwi scent and the benefits of smooth hair that dries faster makes this a great pick for all frizz issues. Apply a quarter size amount to hair, concentrating mostly on the crown and below. Coat the scalp very sparingly to avoid a greasy look. Blow-dry and enjoy silky smooth hair! This product also comes in an extra strength version for more sever frizz cases.

3) It's a 10 Leave-In Conditioner Spray

As a sales associate, I was asked on a daily basis if my store carried this product. We did not carry it, so I found it elsewhere-- curious to see what all the rage was about. The entire "It's a 10" line is marked by having 10 benefits; repair, shine, detangling, frizz control, hair color protection, split end prevention, silkiness, natural body, and thermal protection. It has a scent reminiscent of a woman's perfume. While the price is a bit steep, $17.50 for a 4oz. bottle, it lasts a long time and has become the saving grace for many women! On amazon.com reviews, every user rated this spray  five stars. One woman said her only complaint is that she wished they made it in greater quantities. You can find this product online or at select Krogers and other beauty supply stores.  
                                                    
Last but not least-- Final touch sprays
Smooth and Seal Aerated Anti-Frizz & Shine Spray-- Straight Sexy Hair

This may be my all-time favorite product! (Other than Kenra 25 Hairspray of course!) This spray comes in a tall can and comes out like hairspray, minus the stickiness! It is an aerated light oil spray that lightly weighs down fly aways and adds shine. It smells fresh like baby powder, and can be used on any style. This is especially wonderful to have in the summer. If there is any product I could most suggest, it would be this!


I hope this has been helpful. Check out these products and enjoy beautiful, shiny, frizz-free hair!!

Big Hair Love,

Vanessa
