QuoteReplyTopic: how do you prevent frizzies? Posted: July 15 2003 at 1:06pm
Hello everyone, I''ve been browsing this board today and it seems like a great resource! I have naturally curly/wavy hair that I let dry overnight and then straighten with a flat iron (and finish with redken hair glass). It usually works fine, but in humid places and hot days my hair looks awful. Do you think it would help if I applied some kind of product? Maybe something that would seal out moisture? I currently don''t use any other than a little gloss. Thanks so much!
You might want to try the 'Sleek Look' system from Matrix. I don't use the shampoos or conditioners, I'm hooked on Redken Extreme and All Soft..anyhoo... they (Matrix) have Sleek Look - Lite Styling Creme...it helps seal the cuticle and block out humidity.
I use sleek look shampoo, conditioner and styling cream. I like the shampoo and conditioner but the styling cream is a bit heavy for my hair, might work great in yours. You may just try the shampoo and conditioner and that might be enough. HTH
You can use products containing film formers such as the polyquaterniums (4, 11, 18, etc) or acrylates or PVP. These do repel moisture somewhat by coating the hair shaft with a plastic polymer-type film (yummy, huh!) A lightweight silicone spray will also help calm the frizzies if you use it as a finishing touch on dry hair. However there are some days when the humidity is too high to do virtually anything with your hair, and if your hair is anything like mine, you might want to forgo the entire straightening regimen for that period.

I have very frizzy hair also, and the best product i found is called 'Flat Out' and is made by KMS. It works very well and after trying numerous products and formulas to combat frizzy hair i found that this works the best.:)

Baby oil works well for frizz. Just use a dime-sized amount and lightly rub your hands over your hair. Just be careful not to use too much because then it can make your hair look greasy.
