The Ultimate Frizz-Fighting Tips

As a girl with curly hair, I've had to deal with frizz pretty much my whole life.  Having frizzy hair always made me feel self-conscious because I was always worried about keeping my pouffy hair in place.  It's a total confidence killer and I've always had more bad hair days than good ones.  Over the years, I've tried hundreds of products and various tricks to control my frizzy hair so I've complied a list of tips and products that I've found actually work so that you can tame frizz once and for all.

It all starts in the shower...

Shampooing Your Hair

It's important NOT to rub your hair together when you shampoo your hair because that only causes more frizz and tangles your hair.  Another thing that I suggest, especially for those with dry, curly hair, is to use shampoo sparingly on the ends of your hair.  You really want to shampoo your scalp and then gently spread a little bit of shampoo to the ends.  I usually only shampoo my hair every 2-3 days to prevent it from drying out even more.

DON'T Towel Dry Your Hair

Piling up your hair in a towel makes hair very flyaway and frizzy.  I know it's hard not to do this, but you will notice a huge difference in your hair.  Just gently squeeze out the excess water from your hair.

Apply Products Immediately

As soon as you've squeezed out the extra water from you hair, apply your hair products.  This really allows the products to penetrate and stick to your hair to keep it tame once it dries.  I like using Palmer's Hair Food and Moroccanoil on the top layer of my hair to make it smooth and shiny.

 Use Castor Oil

Castor Oil is very thick and heavy so I only recommend it for those that have very dry, damaged hair.  I've found Castor Oil to be a miracle product especially when used on my super dry ends.  I apply it when my hair is wet and massage it into my ends.  It keeps my hair so soft and glossy, which makes it much easier to work with and style.

Get a Naturally Pretty Glow with Neutrogena!



When I first heard about Neutrogena's makeup line, I was a bit skeptical since I've always associated the company more with skincare rather than cosmetics.  However, I'm so glad that I had the chance to try out their makeup line because it is amazing.  As a BzzAgent, I was able to sample a few of their products--a color stick for lips, a mascara and 2 eye-shadows.  I absolutely loved the looks I was able to create using the makeup.  The products give you a naturally soft beautiful glow.  Below is my take on each of the different products:

Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick

This color stick is awesome.  It deposits a subtle touch of color to enhance the color of your own lips.  It also does a great job of moisturizing your lips and staying put for a long time.  What I really liked about the color stick was that it wasn't too shiny or sticky so it was completely comfortable to wear.  The color I received was called "Sweet Watermelon" which is a pretty pink that works for all skin tones.

Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Mascara

I can't say enough about this mascara!  Totally love it!  I've tried many mascaras over the years and this is definitely one of the best.  The mascara is super easy to apply and it gives you incredible definition and separation, which has been hard for me to achieve with other mascaras.  It makes lashes fuller and longer without clumping or looking fake.  I recommend applying a couple of coats for gorgeous lashes.  What's nice is that the mascara doesn't flake or smudge even after hours of wearing it. 

Neutrogena Crease Eye Proof Shadows

I tried the colors, "Constant Copper" and "Lasting Taupe" and thought they both made my eyes look so much brighter.  The "Constant Copper" is a shimmery pinkish color that will instantly light up your eyes.  The "Lasting Taupe" is a sparkly greyish color that is perfect for creating a softer smokey eye.  For a more dramatic look, I swipe on black eyeliner to go with the shadow and it really makes my eyes pop against the eye shadow.  I also love that the shadows are so easy and quick to apply.  No messing around with brushes or worrying about blending because these glide on smoothly and leave just the right amount of color on your lids.  I usually use an eyeshadow primer base on my lids before I put on these shadows and they stay in place for hours without creasing or fading.
