To Be Frizzy or Not To Be Frizzy….

That is the question today…..To be frizzy or not to be frizzy. This Summer’s heat wave got to me in more ways than one. After trying multiple times to tame the lions mane that WAS my hair in this 1000% humidity, I chopped about 6 inches..or more…off my dome. It was necessary and it was what needed to happen. True story….I think my hair was getting shorter due to my ombre addition and my stubborn mind not listening to my stylist…sorry Krysta :). My advice….take care of your hair or you will be forced to start over like me. Don’t get my wrong, I LOVE my short hair, but we all know, there is nothing like long hair. Moving on to less depressing things, lets chat about summer hair survival….

I think we all forget at times, and may be a little neglectful, on protecting our hair from the outdoors. It’s this huge misconception that shampoo and conditioner will fully treat your hair…..ehhhh wrong! Just like your skin, your hair requires protection…..ESPECIALLY if you have color treated hair. Just like your skin, your hair requires a little TLC with a mask. Listen, the last thing you want to worry about in any situation, work or play, is hair…that only takes time away from what you are going to wear…time wasted in my opinion!

Check out these three products that I swear by this summer and that have helped me fight off the frizz like a Left Tackle protects his Quarterback 🙂 Enjoy!

On those days where I’m looking for a low maintenance due, I default to the Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray.  This product is like the Quarterback sneak. When I’m looking to do something a little unexpected with my hair, the Surf Spray comes in and surprises the defense, that is this Summer weather, and gives my hair a matte and effortless beach wave finish. Let it dry naturally and I think that you will be pleased with the outcome.

Now this next product has been all the rage. I’ve seen ad campaigns galore, and as we have learned before….anyone can sell me anything…I went ahead a bought it. I’ve been there done that with products like these, but this one is the real deal; this bad boy is your first string and needs no back-up because it will continuously get the job done. Personally I place this in my hair prior to blow-drying; right away you will see and feel a huge difference in your hair. Then post styling with a straighter, I put just a small amount near the root in the event that some fly aways thought they were more crafty than me. This product is your wildcat for sure! Not only does it defrizz, but it has UVB and UBA agents in the product to protect you from the sun….can I get a Hail Mary! Buy this at Sephora stat!

Your skin isn’t the only thing that needs a mask every once in a while! Now before I go on, I know what you are thinking…you are thinking you don’t have 7 minutes to sit while this baby cooks in your hair…well not literally, but you know what I mean. Well I cheat the system, because I myself am the same way. The best thing to do is start the shower out with the Moroccan Oil Restorative Mask, then this way the product sits for at least that amount of time. Depending on your hair type, I would recommend using the mask once a month to restore all of your curling and straightening damage…I mean, think about it…our hair puts up with a lot! Start your week off right with a Monday morning mask; you won’t want to wash your hair the rest of the week! You will feel results immediately and just like the Left Tackle, it will continue to protect your hair the rest of the day.
