Frizzy and fabulous

Filed under: Hair Care

Alright, curly girls. It's time to put away the flat iron you've had plugged in for several years and close the door to your Closet of Hair Product. Don't worry, the terror you're feeling will subside once you realize that you can save hours of your life because of the following statement: Frizzy is the New Fabulous.

Natural is coming into fashion this spring for all hair types, but the girls with the curls will be most affected because, generally speaking, they spend the most time and product on styling their hair until it looks "done." Forget flattening your bouncy ringlets, and don't worry about taming them with gel -- try letting your locks flow free, and just see how it feels!

Designers like BCBG and Betsey Johnson showed models with hair that was purposefully undone, giving the women a natural and feminine look. Take advantage of this trend now -- how often is it that you can get away with not doing your hair for the sake of fashion?

Frederic Fekkai fights frizz best

Filed under: Hair Care, Steals and Deals

I'll admit it, I have major hair-envy. My hair is blonde, so naturally I couldn't stop imagining myself with beautiful auburn tresses until I tried to achieve it myself and ended up as an unfortunate Kool-Aid inspired redhead. I've gone from a nearly waist-length mane to the most delicate of pixie cuts, and have changed my highlight/lowlight combination more times than I can count. My piece d'resistance, however, was when I convinced a stylist, against her will, to give me a body wave.

To the poor stylist's credit, she warned me about potential frizz problems. Apparently, when you chemically curl already chemically dyed hair, you run the risk of ending up with frizzy feathers, rather than actual hair follicles. This, I'm afraid to say, is exactly what happened to me. Never one to dwell on the negatives, however, I embarked on a mission to find the best frizz-fighters out there.

Frederic Fekkai's Luscious Curls Curl Enhancing Lotion ($18.50) wins the award, in my opinion, as the best frizz-taming product available. Fekkai's shampoo and conditioner (both $20, from the Luscious Curls line) are also excellent, as they provide mucho moisture, which my feather-hair definitely needed. Other good products include Redken's Smooth Down Butter Treat ($12), and Bumble & Bumble's Curl Conscious Curl Creme ($29).
