I would try to find an up-do that works for you. I wear a bun constantly. A friend of mine just works the messy braid (and looks great!).

I use kerastase products. For your hair I would try the oleo-relax.

Every single woman I see with a keratin treatment has flat looking hair with odd bumps. It just doesn't look natural to me.

I get something called an express keratin at Noufal Hair Salon in Tysons. Costs around $300. LOVE it, but don't do it during the summer since it would be a total PITA (can't go in a chlorine pool).

i have similar hair and am thinking of trying a keratin (the temp one) for the summer. i asked the woman who does my hair about it and she said she would charge $300. said it washes out over 2-3 months so there is no growth line in the hair. is this about how much salons charge?

she claims the washout one does not damage hair?

Keratin.

I like the Living Proof anti frizz products.

Keratin treatments are highly carcinogenic, both to customers and the stylists who perform them. OSHA has a lot of information on this, including documented evidence of the producers of these products falsely advertising that they are formeldahyde free. They aren't. If you want to get it done, your stylist must be in a separate room, wearing a respirator, with ventilation that is separate from the rest of the facility. Most don't, and they are not in compliance with FDA and OSHA safety standards.

Agree with keratin.

I got a shosrt pixie. Perfect for my curly/frizzy hair and I love it! Takes 10 years off my face. BUt you have to make sure you don't get an old lady cut. Go to a more trendy salon and/or take a photo of the style you want.

Same here - Keratin saves my summers.

OP here. I have both waves and frizz. It looks like hell.

I use a few drops of Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum after shampooing. Apply it to wet hair, brush/comb through and blow dry. Always works great for me.

It's oily so use sparingly.

I am the same OP. I get keratin treatments in summer (and skip them in winter)

Can't stand looking bushy and wavy. Tips, products, etc. needed. Please don't tell me to embrace my waves. I look horrible with frizz.
