Hi, I'm Elle. And let me introduce you to my hair. The bottom layer is
super straight and fine. The top layer is
naturally wavy and
holds curl for days. And then, there are the sides. They are
dry, coarse, and very, very frizzy. My hair has always grown in like this. And my goal is to make all of it look cohesive, and that means using something for frizz.
I scoured the drugstores for products designed to fight frizz.
After months and months of testing, I can't wait to share my results. I tested these in winter, spring, and summer. I tested these on windy days, rainy days, humid days, super hot days, and even at the beach. I tested these in steamy showers. I tested these with certain kids who love to torment play with my hair. I'm tested out!
I tested a variety of frizz-fighting products like creams, serums, and oils. To make my hair straight and frizz-free, I prefer doing a blow out with a round brush, and I used that hairstyle when testing these frizz--fighters. Tutorial for
easy blow out at home is
here.
Loreal, Tresame, John Freida, Herbal Essences, Garnier Fructis
Here are examples of each product after 1 week and after humidity exposure.
My two best frizz tips:
- If a product has alcohol listed in the first 5 ingredients, skip it. I've found that alcohol dries out and frizzes my hair faster than anything.
- I say this all the time, but I swear by a satin pillowcase. No friction. Here's a picture of how my hair looks when I wake up. Ignore the lack of makeup, hehe. And you should follow me on Insta already!
