Which means, that along with the typical rites of passage of teenage-dom (such as PMS, acne and that oh-so-awkward stage of braces and Steve Madden loafers), I also had to learn how to manage that fro of mine that at 12 went from straight to curly and never looked back.

Couple that with two perms due to my pre-mature desire for curly hair (yes, they still had perms in 1998), and you’ve got yourself an expert mane-tamer. So thank me later, and de-frizz now.

Here are my top must-have products for curls, waves and fros: Read More »

The summer may be an endless sea of hot days, but every hot day feels a little different. And your hair feels different too.

Hot and dry? Flat and sweaty.

Hot and humid? Big and frizzy (and sweaty).

You look great as you walk out the door. Glancing at your reflection in every passing window you even give yourself a wink. “Good Hair Day!” you think to yourself. But come lunch – game over. Your hair has fallen flat or totally frizzed out.

Until recently, my hair seemed to be benefiting from its exposure to the natural elements. It felt soft and it shone, whether I had straightened it or let it dry into my natural curls.
