Finally, something that really works for frizzy hair

Filed in Cosmetics

I have tried more anti-frizz products than I can keep track of. If a spray, serum, pomade, gloss, wax, mousse, gel, or cream promises to reduce frizz in any capacity, I have probably tried it. The one aspect of my hair that I find the most annoying is that it will frizz in any climate, and under the influence of just about every anti-frizz product. I’ve most recently been using Jonathan Product Create Weightless Smooth No-Frizz Hydrating Balm with mediocre results. Let’s just say my expectations for anything to actually work are severely compromised.

livingproofI stopped by Sephora last week with my mom, who was visiting from a small town in Florida, and she loves to stock up on all her favorites because we have no sales tax. We were in the haircare section looking for root boosters when I noticed Living Proof No Frizz products. The thing that intrigued me about the line is that their technology for controlling the frizz is not just another silicone-based coating (like every other serum on the market), but a new ingredient they call PolyfluoroEster. Living Proof claims it forms an extremely thin barrier on hair that protects from humidity and reduces surface friction (which also causes frizz). I can honestly say, after trying it, it really works! No other frizz control product has ever made my hair this frizz-free, soft, and silky, and I didn’t change anything else about my haircare. I don’t buy fancy shampoo or conditioner (I am using Garnier Fructis right now), and I don’t even take the time to blow dry or use a flat iron, which is what I used to have to do to get anything resembling frizz-free hair, and even then it wouldn’t last. Now, I can wash, condition, put in the No Frizz spray, put my hair up in a twist or a ponytail, and once it’s dry, it’s silky smooth with no frizz. Where can I get a case of this stuff??

The line is small and finding the right product for your hair is easy. There is a product for wavy/curly styles, in three versions for different hair textures, and a product for straight styles, also in three versions for your texture of hair. Depending on what you choose, you are getting either a spray or a styling cream. Because I have fine hair and because I am lazy and let my hair air dry, I opted for Wave Shaping, Curl Defining No Frizz Styling Spray for Fine to Medium Hair ($24 for 3.4 oz). My hair is naturally wavy, and the Wave Shaping product has a light hold to it, so my hair has nice bounce and no frizz whatsoever.
