Review- Living Proof No Frizz Straight Making Styling Spray



A lightweight spray that dries fast and leaves hair with incredible shine without an ounce of frizz. It can also be used as a touch-up during the day or as an effective detangler for all hair types. No Frizz works great on color-treated hair, too. 3.4 oz.= $24 1.7 oz.= $14

When you go to buy this product, and believe me, you want to buy this product, get the 3.4 oz. size. Because once you've tried it, you'll start questioning if they sell it by the quart. It's just that good. I've tried quite a few frizz treatments over the years, but this one is totally unique. Unlike most serums or spray shine products to calm frizz, I have no fear that I'm using too much of this spray. I cover my whole head in it, concentrating on my part. Not only is my hair not frizzy when I dry it, it's not frizzy later or even the next day. Now I'm not claiming to have especially hard-to-manage hair, but my hair has just enough wave to it that on rainy days it just looks confused. This Straight Making Spray really helps with all of that and it accomplished it without making your hair weighed down or oily- even the next day. I can only imagine how well it would work with a straightener. If you wash your hair every other day or longer and thought you could never use a frizz fighting product because it leaves your hair looking oily the next day, here is your frizz-fighting Holy Grail!

Sultana says: I totally agree with Hillary 100%. Usually I have to wash my hair everyday because it gets very oily. Since my hair is also color-treated, it tends to absorb frizz treatments entirely so I have to use a lot. With this product, I was able to use a normal amount and I was surprised that it didnt weigh my hair down or give it that greasy look.

We had a lot of nasty, rainy summer days and this helped pull me into the sunshine. So trust us ladies, this is one for the keeping!

Review- Arrojo Frizz Control

Moisture-rich and anti-oxidizing to leave all curly hair frizz and tangle free. Adds smoothness, control, and shine to all hair types. 1.7 fl. oz.= $7 4.2 fl. oz.= $15

The other day I was listening to the news on the radio in the shower and the weatherman said it was %95 humidity out. I was sure I was going to look like a poorly groomed Pomeranian. I decided to put Arrojo Frizz Control to the ultimate test. I put about a nickel-sized amount through my long hair, concentrating on the frizziest bits. Much to my surprise, my hair looked as in control and smooth as if it were %0 humidity. And the best part was that the effects lasted all day- no midday pony tail to look half human. The only drawback I saw is that I must have used too much in my bangs because they looked- not oily, per se- but not washed at the end of my long day. For that reason, I would recommend going easy with this product if your hair tends to get oily, but I still think you could use it sparingly. Since this is perhaps the wettest summer in NYC history, I will be turning to this product again and again.

Review - Biosilk Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner


Vitamin B and humectants to moisturize and smooth frizz prone hair. Contains silk proteins to condition the hair shaft and leave hair shiny and healthy.

In the humid months, I have a terrible time with frizzed out hair. It's been raining pretty steadily here in New York City for the past week, and my frizz has been especially bad, it looks like I have a halo of fuzz around my roots. Not pretty. I used this conditioner yesterday morning, amidst a torrential downpour in Brooklyn, and walked around outside for about 2 hours. To my surprise, I came home without a fluff or frizz in sight.
I generally, to be honest, haven't got a lot of faith in anti-frizz products because most of them have let me down. But this one held up. It smells nice, comes in a cool looking bottle, and there's A LOT unlike some brands that come in teeny bottles and have large prices.

CitySlicker Says:
You don’t know how many times I have walked by these in my Salon. I don't know why I have never stopped and picked them up. I am sorry I didn’t, I have been using these just shy of a week and so far so good. I haven’t noticed any build up in my hair or them weighing it down. The scents are light and pretty, nothing overwhelming. The shampoo rinses with ease and the conditioner is nice and thick, I leave that one on about 5-10 minutes while showering. I think the biggest difference I have noticed since using these is my flyways. I have a short bob with bangs and always notice frizzies in my part. They have calmed down tremendously and that is a GREAT thing... I am very pleased with the performance so far and feel like my hair is stronger too. One other thing, I do color my hair and these don’t strip or feel harsh in any way so call your peeps that don’t rock your own color no worries on that front!

Deedlejuse says:
My review is a little bit less solid on this Shampoo/Conditioner combo, but only because I need to plug their Silk Therapy after product (which I will review later). There is no doubt about the anti-frizz aspects of this duo, and how wonderful it smells, and really just how lovely my hair looks after I use it and it dries. But... I don't like the feeling of my hair while wet after I use this combo. It just feels kind of dried out, of course that is only when I use it without the Silk Therapy, and completely goes away after it is dried. My hair is died blond, and so soaks up moisture like a sponge, so I think I just need the extra moisture of the Silk Therapy. This is a good solid product though, and I would definitely say you will be very happy with the results.


Sheba says: I bought myself a huge bottle of the conditioner on clearance at a local Home Goods and am in love with it. First, I was attracted to the clearance price but the product has swayed me completely. It is as good as everyone has mentioned. My hair is thin and has no body -- yet, it usually has frizzies in the rain and/or humidity. This conditioner really left the hair feeling soft and silky -- yet with a feel of more body/texture. My hair was easy to work with and style after this conditioner and it actually remained frizzless out in the rain!!! I think I am going to have to spend a little more in the future as I will not be lucky enough to find this treasure on clearance that often. I will still look for it on clearance, however, I am prepared to dig a little deeper as it is worth it.

Review - Zero Frizz Anti Frizz Quick Fix Glistening Mist



"Zero Frizz Anti Frizz Quick Fix Glistening Mist, For Frizzy Damaged Unruly Hair Zero Frizz Corrective Treatment System. Adds shine anytime." $6.99

I am a frizz freak.. I hate it with a passion! I hate when I have frizzes at the root most. I keep my hair straight and smooth. I am known to iron & blow dry it on a daily basis. I find that it's really difficult to find a product that stands the test of time. It's clear that when I use new products for a day or two the results are great - time is what really shows if it is something that agrees with me or not. I have been using Zero Frizz for over 2 weeks and I did have to play around with it to find my happy medium. It's got a light scent that isn't overwhelming and it spritzes out in a fine mist. I will recommend that less is more. I have overdone it and had to go to work with a slick doo.. I did a spot spray and there it stayed all day (not pretty). This washes out and doesn't leave any buildup behind. I do notice that it lightly helps tames the unruly frizz, adds shine and really makes my doo look healthy. I have pretty fine hair and really like this so don't shy away if you don't have a thick head of extensions. I recommend this and will continue to spritz my doo till there are no spritzes left!

Review - Citre Shine Shine Mist

Pure liquid shine formulated with shine enhancing citrus extracts, vitamins, silicones and a UV protectant. Alcohol free formula controls flyaways and unruly frizz. Protects hair against damage caused by heat styling and environmental stress. Helps realign the cuticle, tame frizz and treat split ends for a soft, smooth finish.

In my opinion no bathroom closet is complete without at least one bottle of Citre Shine Shine Mist. You don't have to use it everyday (but you could) but it should just be there for when you need that extra little luster. This Shine Mist really works, it is better than many much more expensive products. It leaves you smelling lightly citrusy, with a great shine to your hair. A couple of spritz after I finish styling, and my hair looks beautiful. I have very straight blond hair, so I don't have an huge issue with frizz, but those extra flyaways really stay where they are supposed to be with this awesome little bottle. AND the best part, I have yet to make my hair look greasy and gross by using too much (which I am very good at with this kind of hair product). I am very happy to spend under $5 on this bottle of shine that will without a doubt last me for at least a couple of months!
