As I’ve mentioned before, my hair is frizzy. Not even just curly frizzy, but the big, huge kind, where it swells to epic proportions. My strands are thick, and no amount of serums or frizz fighters can tame it when the humidity sets in. The last week, it’s been bad, so bad that I’m on the verge  of plunking down the hundreds of dollars for the Brazilian Blowout. I really don’t want to spend the money, so I’m trying anything and everything frizz related I can to make my hair look sleeker, shinier, straighter, and voluminous, in a good way.

Frizz-free hair starts in the shower, so switching up my shampoo recently to include a smoothing one, was a smart move. Pantene has always been a go-to brand for me–I think they have good quality haircare at very reasonable prices–so I was anxious to try  out their new Hair Solutions line, specifically designed to transform your hair to what you want, ie smooth and frizz-free. It has complete shampoo, conditioner and stylers by hair type, in fine, medium to thick, color or curly.  I choose, of course, the medium to thick type that promises to convert my locks from untamed mess, to smoother and sleek strands. It’s got guar and patented micro-smoothers that smooth rough cuticles (a symptom of thick hair) and helps to lock out frizz.

It’s been a week of the shampoo and conditioner combo, and I am happy to say, my hair has been pretty frizz-free. The volume is less, and it really feels smoother. I’m anxious to try out the styling products too, which I will be doing in the next few days, along with some other frizz-free solutions. Who knows, with hair this good, I may just skip the Brazilian. Stay tuned.
