Trying to Make That Stubborn Frizz, Ease....


Frizz. I hate it.

Frizzy hair is just not my ideal look even though some people might be able to rock it.
 
Due to having bleached colour, naturally wavy, slightly dry hair; the smallest amount of rain and wind can often lead of stands of frizz from creeping into my fresh hair. I try to only wash my hair twice a week maximum and once a week is usually fine for me (I am a lazy girl).

When blow drying my hair, I like to use John Frieda's Frizz Ease Anti Frizz Primer by applying it on damp hair. I only purchased this recently and have found that actually it has been making a huge difference by eliminating the 'just washed puffy' dance my hair likes to do the day after.

I also have been using the Straight Fixation Smoothing Cream on the front crown section of my hair. I find that even when I'm not styling my hair much I will blow dry the front areas straight so that I at least can look decent.
 
I have used the Flawlessly Straight Conditioner once and then straightened my hair. I found that it locks in lots of shine in my hair so that even if you straighten your hair with a not so great straightener it doesn't look damaged and in fact makes you straightened hair last longer without needing retouches.
 
I would recommend all these product to you if you would like to make your frizz ease (you get the joke?!) and tame your lovely strands. However, adding to much of any of these will weight your hair down because they are quite concentrated products.
 
Let me know what other products you have found works to keep your hair lovely and smooth.

Change Your Shampoo and Conditioner to Help Your Dry Hair





 "Surely a simple change in the shampoo and conditioner game can't really fix my dry, frizzy hair can it?"
 
"Well, I guess not, so I'm never going to try it out"
 
This was exactly my mental thought process whilst I was walking past Holland and Barrett and I'm so glad that I finally made up my mind and actually walked into the store.
 
There are different hair products to suit different needs but the thing you need to look out for when choosing a shampoo is if it is SULPHATE FREE by checking the ingredients. This is because the sulphate in the products over time weakens the hair strands which means that your hair is more prone to breakage.... which in my opinion means more frizz.
 
However, switching to a sulphate free shampoo helps the hair retain moisture, natural oils and also helps hair colour last from longer.
 
What's My Experience?
 
After I used the Dr Organic Vitamin E Shampoo and Conditioner which were £5.49 each (which is very reasonably priced) I have found that my hair has improved in how healthy it looks and generally has become less dry.
 
The conditioner is amazing! You can trust that it 'penetrates your hair' and really injects moisture into the hair strands rather than other shampoos that I have used which makes my hair feel shiny on the surface but when I rinse my hair, its all just a disguise.
 
My tip would be to let the conditioner sink into your hair for a good 3-4 minutes whilst you're in the shower and then not to completely rinse the product out. The most concentrated should be towards the tips of the hair rather than the scalp to prevent a build up of product at your scalp.
 
Do you have any products which you have used that have helped nourished your hair?
