| Usually I use M.A.C cosmetics. However, I am not a big fan of cosmetics. I only love using eye make up. I use Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown and M.A.C eye shadows in nude or pastel shades. In the evenings I like to dress up my eyes in gold and bronze but during the day I prefer neutral colours. I only use olive oil on my hair and wash it with a Kerastase shampoo. I also swear by a home made pack of malai, almonds and saffron. It has kept my skin glowing and I have never had to have a facial. |
I had straightened my hair and now it is growing back curly. I want to know if it is possible to get my hair to be curly yet manageable. I don’t want to straighten it anymore but I don’t mind making my frizzy hair look like perfect ringlets of curls. What can I do to get that? I want to leave my hair open but the frizz makes it impossible. My hair in its natural state looks totally horrid. Please help.

The only long-term cure is to have them snipped off. What is lost in the length will be gained in quality. It may help if you reduce the frequency with which you shampoo, as this in itself is stressful to the hair and tends to dehydrate it and make it more frizzy and unmanageable. Instead let your hair pick up some natural oils to help keep it calm and under control. If you have to wash to feel clean, skip shampoo and just rinse with water, then apply conditioner.
Twice a month use an intensive conditioner. When drying, don’t rub your hair with the towel. Instead squeeze the excess water into the towel. Apply an anti-frizz styling cream or serum to the hair while it is still wet and use a dryer with a diffuser, only on cool mode to dry hair. Never tip your head upside down — you’re asking for frizz. Do not use a dryer too near the hair, or set it on too high a temperature. Minimise the use of heated appliances. Use conditioners and serums that are designed to temporarily work by surrounding the cuticle with a transparent microscopic film, which leaves the hair shaft smoother.
