Be a Curls Best Friend!

Having trouble with those curls turning to frizz in Chicago summer humidity?  A few simple tips will help you stave off the frizz on even the muggiest of days.  First, don’t over condition –too much conditioner weighs down curls, adds weight and depletes shine.  But the real trick to beautiful curls is in the styling and finishing of the hair.  Apply a lightweight, cream-based product to towel dried hair and give your curls a light scrunch while lifting roots from ends up.  Let hair air dry completely or dry it using a bowl-shaped diffuser, from the ends up, being careful not to disturb the curl (the more you move curl while drying, the more frizz you’ll have).  When curl is completely dry, apply a small amount of moisture-based pomade on the edges and gently run fingers through your hair, or simply shake the curl out.  Curls spread themselves out when dry, so don’t try to achieve volume when drying or you’ll just create more frizz. 

Throw the pomade in your purse, and re-apply small amounts on the ends throughout the day if the frizz starts to creep up!
