| help with curls and frizz can anyone recommend a product from Watson's or anything that can help control and loosen curly hair? the only thing i usually use is some gel, but it usually fails by noon and the curls get tighter and frizz. besides, i hate that snap, crackle, pop feel of super gelled hair. i heard there was some leave in conditioner or oil/tonic out there, but i'm completely new to this wide world of hair care products since i usually just keep my hair short. the price of trying sth new. thanks!  |

| The best thing I have found to combat the kind of frizz and need for curl definition that you are describing is John Frieda's Frizz Ease. It totally makes hair instantly manageable (once it's dry  ) and works for both curly gals and straight gals alike in combating frizz (which is crucial in this kind of humidity). However, I have unfortunately been unable to find it in Hong Kong (ridiculous as it is sold almost everywhere in the world). I had to get my mum to bring some back from the states with her recently. If you can find it, it is an absolute godsend (if you do find it here please let me know), but baring that I'd look for a good shine serum which really helps to tame the frizz (the body shop's grape extract shine serum isn't bad). Hope this helps a little.  |

| hi choccy, thanks for the recommendation. i'll keep an eye out for the frizz ease. but being a guy and all, i think i'd have trouble going to the body shop to look for grape extract. but at this point, i might just try anything since i'm tired of looking like i stuck my finger in a light socket |

| you can also use a ceramic straightening iron or try to weigh down your hair by using a lot of conditioner + a leave-in conditioner on top. the best brands for leave in conditionners are the ones you get at any hairdressers or SASA, I really like the one from Redken, but I know SASA has a lot of good french brands as well. try not to cut your hair too short, or get too many layers, because that'll just make it worse. good luck! |

| OK, here's a very old, very cheap trick for frizz. Put a little olive oil on your fingers (not much, just enough to lightly moisten them) and run your fingers through the tips of your hair (not the base...just the tips). It's basically the same thing as leave-in hair conditioner and will also add shine. You just need to be careful how much oil you use...too much and your hair looks greasy....so, just use the absolute minimum. Very little oil needed (~1/8 teaspoon for my long hair). My mother used to do this as a young woman, and I use the trick on the worst frizz-days. |
