Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight

I was invited by SheSpeaks to review Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight.  Since I do have natural curls and waves in my hair, I thought this hair product might be interesting to try for taming the frizz that comes with it.

I found this product had a pleasant, light citrus scent.  Once applied to my towel-dried hair that I sectioned off, I am happy to report it did a wonderful job of smoothing.  

Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally StraighAveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight retails for $26.  If you have frizzy, unruly hair, I suggest that you look into trying this product for yourself.

The Next Time Your Hair Frizzes, Try This Easy Fix!

Curls often come with frizz, but the tips below help.

Anyone that has curl to their hair can relate to the issue of battling frizz.  I happen to be one of them. However, did you know that shine products will give you not only extra gloss but they can come to your rescue on those extra difficult to manage hair days?

The important thing to look for when buying that shine product is to make sure it contains silicone.  That particular ingredient will do wonders to tame the frizz since it will cause the hair cuticle to lie flat instead of out of control.

What I like to do is to carry a small bottle of shine spray with me in my handbag.  This simple preventive measure can do wonders to save your style from frizzing out when the humidity is on the rise. 

You can opt to do the same thing with a shine serum that also happens to contain silicone.  I just think it is easier to just put out my spray and shoot to whip my unruly hair back in place.  

If you do prefer the serum form, I have a better way that you might want apply it.  Try rubbing just a tiny bit of the product into your hand and fingertips before running your moistened hand over the surface of that frizzy hair to distribute the serum evenly.  You might be surprised at how much better hair will be!

Love Your Winter Cap, But Hate Flat, Frizzy Hair?

Keeping warm is important, but so keeping your style intact instead of flat.

The only solution for keeping warmer in frigid temperatures is to cover your head.  Even though a cute woolen cap can be the perfect outdoor accessory, it can crush your hairstyle and leave you with a head of static electricity once you take it off.  So what is a girl to do to keep hair beautiful without giving up her fashionable collection of caps, scarves, and other winter hats that press hair down?  

One of the most important things is to keep hair regularly trimmed at least every eight weeks.  By doing so, you will help hair bounce back into shape once removing that cap. 

Without adequate moisture, winter hair can frizz and become full of static.  Make it a habit to give your hair a deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep it hydrated.  Healthier hair looks better and can be more resilent to keep that style intact. 

You might want to try applying styling creams and serums only on the ends of your hair when wearing that cap for a length of travel time to best avoid a flat, greasy look.  

When in a rush to blow-dry hair, you need to dry it completely to make sure that hair behaves.  Any missed section of damp hair can cause it to later bump up and create a funny hump on your head once you take your hat off.  

As you apply your hand lotion or body lotion, you might want to rub a tiny bit of what was left over your hair.  This little trick does help combat static electricity.  

In fact, you will never need to worry about static cling again if you rub some lotion on your pantyhose and slip in the winter before dressing.  Keep some lotion at work and reapply later when you start to cling again will stop it.

Believe it or not, a sheet of a fabric softener rubbed over your hair works to smooth that static problem as well. 

If all else fails and you are not satisfied and need more volume, try this little trick.  Turn your head upside and spray with a volumizing hair spray. Then shake out the hair as it begins to dry before flipping it back in shape. 

Here's to staying warm and keeping your hair amazing with just a few tweaks to your normal routine!

Has Frizzy Hair Got You Down?

Are you doing everything possible to prevent your hair from frizzing?  Yet, despite our best efforts we can often end up with it.  So what are we doing wrong?

Take a look at the type of blow-dryer you have.  Chances are frizz will be less of a problem if you change to an ionic model.  The reason an ionic dryer is better is due to the far-infrared heat technology that helps create the smoothest hair.

Another suggestion you might want to explore is to pick up an anti-frizz cream.  Make sure you look for ingredients like silicone and vitamin E.  Those two ingredients are known to work the best to soften and hydrate blow-dried hair.

For further suggestions on how to conquer this problem, I hope you will read my other post on battling frizzy hair.

Check these simple tips out because you have nothing but frustration to loose and only beautiful hair to gain!

Do You Need to Conquer a Frizzy Hair Problem?

These helpful frizz conquering tricks are especially important to the beauty of curls.

Hair can become untamable and frizz because the cuticles do not lie flat due to heredity or damage from chemical processing and the sun.  However, there are a few helpful tricks that you can try to avoid constantly battling a frizzy hair problem. 

Your Shampooing and Conditioning Techniques Matter

The most important thing is to watch the way you shampoo your hair.   Instead of briskly scrubbing, you need to be gentle with your hands and apply the shampoo (a smoothing shampoo is best) more to your scalp, slowly massaging the scalp to blend it in.   Once the shampoo is worked in thoroughly, you should try using a wide-toothed comb to distribute the shampoo over your hair before rinsing out.

Regarding conditioning, there is a special procedure you should follow as well.  If you happen to have thick, coarse hair, apply the conditioner in just the same fashion as you did for massaging the shampoo into the scalp, followed by combing through with the wide-toothed comb before rinsing.

Working With Your Hair Texture Also Plays a Role in Conquering Frizz

On the other hand, if you have fine hair, then you need to apply the conditioner only to the ends of your hair, not your entire head.  You can use the wide-toothed comb and this will gently get the conditioner through the rest of your hair before rinsing out.

A Frizz-Fighting Serum Provides Additional Defense From Frizz

A good idea is to add a frizz-fighting serum as a part of your routine before drying either by blow-dryer or naturally.  A pea-size amount is all you need.  Serums are great for anyone with thick, coarse hair while the cream versions are best for those with fine hair.
