How to Fight the Frizz
In any battle, you must first identify your opponent. No, your
opponent is not your hair – it’s the humidity. Humidity,
coupled with friction, causes frizzy hair due to the absorbent
or porous nature of hair, allowing it to soak up moisture in
the air.
So how do you combat frizz? Think of your hair as a sponge.
If the sponge is already full, it can’t absorb any more water,
right? So the question becomes, “What do you want to fill
your sponge with?”
The first step in combating frizz is to find the right product
for your hair. It’s essential that you select quality product,
instead of numerous less effective ones. A personal favorite
of mine is Carol’s Daughter Capuacu Frizzless Flawless Hair
Set. This amazing set includes shampoo, conditioner, a deep
conditioning mask, and blow drying cream for your straight
days. These products are formulated to help your hair retain
the right kind of moisture and seal out the humidity.
The second product I recommend is Garnier Fructis Sleek-nShine Leave in Conditioner along with the Sleek-n-Shine Flat
Iron Perfector Straightening Mist. I love these products for
quick touch ups. The leave-in conditioner refreshes curls,
moisture, and seals the strand to prevent frizz. On
straightened hair, the Sleek-n-Shine Iron Perfector
Straightening Mist adds heat protection without adding
unwanted weight. And as a bonus, both Garnier products
protect hair for up to 3 days.

The Five Frizz Free Rules
1. Develop a deep conditioning regimen and
implement it at least once a week.
2. Avoid obsessive heat styling with flat irons,
blow dryers, and curling irons.
3. Protect your hair from heat damage by
using a protective serum or cream.
4. Minimize friction by avoiding over handling
hair once it has been styled.
5. Find the right product that works for your
hair and stay with it.
