TAME YOUR MANE: FROM FRIZZ-FREE TO FABULOUS
How to Smooth unruly hair - and not look like an alpaca this summer :)
Curly-haired friends, it’s time to unite! Inspired by @curlyfitmom's hilarious post: "Check on your friends who have naturally curly hair in this heat - we are not ok. WE out here lookin' like alpacas," I couldn’t agree more!
Being a curly-haired human myself, I know exactly what it feels like to battle the frizz, especially during those hot, humid summer days. I should know... (check the before and after photo - whenever I want to make my friends laugh, I show up like the before).
I felt compelled to share my pro tips and tricks to help you transform your wild frizzy mane into sleek, smooth hair that can withstand any weather. If it works on my frizz-prone curly mane, it will work for all hair types!
Step 1: The Holy Grail - the secret lies in the products
Let’s start with the essentials—the products that have been absolute lifesavers in my quest for smooth, sleek hair.
Superior Blowout Mist: Your best friend for achieving a flawless blowout. It protects against heat and smooths out frizz, making your hair look like you just stepped out of the salon.
Hair serum: A must-have for taming wild locks, this serum adds incredible shine and keeps your hair looking polished without weighing it down.
Anti-Humectant Spray: Humidity? No problem. This spray creates an invisible barrier that keeps your hair frizz-free and the moisture out.
Ultimate Hair Cream: With heat protecting ingredients, it provides intense hydration and offers a polished finish while being lightweight and non-greasy.
Mega Moisture Mask: Deep conditioning is key for frizzy hair. This mask provides intense hydration, making your mane soft, bouncy, and manageable.
Step 2: Application Tips
Here’s how to use these products to get the best results:
Superior Blowout Mist: Spray evenly on damp hair before blow-drying for a sleek, frizz-free finish, then go over your hair with a Straightening iron. I like the Dyson corrale because it is equipped with an intelligent heat control system that ensures the plates remain at the optimal temperature, minimizing hair damage. With three precise heat settings, it can also be used cordless, which is perfect for on the go styling when I am working on set.
Serum: Apply a small amount to the ends of your hair after styling to lock in shine and smoothness. A little goes a long way!
Anti-Humectant Spray: Mist over your hair as the final step to keep humidity at bay all day. It’s your secret weapon against frizz.
Ultimate Hair Cream: Work through damp hair from roots to ends to add hydration to each strand and prep it for silky smooth styles.
Mega Moisture Mask: Use once a week on damp hair, leave it in for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly for deeply nourished hair. It’s like a tall drink of water for your locks.
Step 3: The Final Touch
Sometimes, no matter how many products you use, the best way to combat frizz is with a little trim. If your ends are DEAD, they must go. A micro trim can make a world of difference in managing frizz and keeping your hair looking fresh. Trust me, it’s worth it.
By incorporating these tips and products into your routine, you'll be rocking frizz-free, fabulous hair all summer long. Don't just take my word for it—check out the before and after photos and see the transformation for yourself.
