To All My Curly Haired Sisters!

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:08:08 +0100

After reading an article (side note: I forget the name of the magazine...they all become a blur after a while) about a new hair product for curls, I was immediately intrigued. The fascinating part was the fact that an engineering professor co-created the product with other beauty experts.
Back story: I have always had unruly curly hair as a product of mixed race and have always struggled with controlling my curls, opting for the flat iron rather than the natural look. I've tried mousses, gels, shampoos and conditioners specifically for curly hair with little success. My hair looked good wet but the dryer it became the frizzier and fuller it became.
Okay, now you know a bit of my history to know that I'd be willing to try another new frizz-reducing product, holding out hope that this may be "the one!" So I went to Sephora's to try it out. It wasn't the easiest to find since the bottle is pretty bland but I was optimistic...I notice the fanciest bottles have the littlest results...all fluff, no real substance kinda thing.
I immediately tried it out and let me tell you...it's heaven sent! It's called LivingProof and it's the best thing out there if you want luscious curls! It's like a light conditioner and mousse all in one but it doesn't weigh your hair down. And I love how on the bottle, they encourage you to GLOB it on! I have tons of hair so I hate when the bottle says to dab a "dime-size" on your hair... not on my hair!!
Try it out for yourself...you won't be disappointed...and you may just leave the blow dryer and flat iron alone for a day, even a week!
