How Do I…
I blowdried my hair using the tension method for the 1st time. I really am enjoying the results and will definitely be doing this again in the future. I tried it with 2 different blowdryers and prefer the Infiniti by Conair SD8R Tourmaline Ceramic Styler that I purchased to use on my husband’s hair (and as a replacement for the Vidal Sassoon blowdryer) over a year ago. I used my shea butter and coconut oil mix as well as nuNAAT Karité Heat Protectant (which I love, review and giveaway will post tomorrow).
Enjoy this video of me trying out the tension method for the 1st time:
Until next time Glam Fam I wish you

Frizz is created when water is absorbed from the air by the hair through the cuticle, causing the shaft to swell.

QUESTION:
“Do you have suggestions for products to reduce frizz? I have just BC’d and I have like 4 different hair textures. I have alot of straight hair in the top on my head from heat damage from presses and flat irons and all that hair is just kinda straight a frizzy. Help!”
ANSWER:
Frizz can happen for MANY reasons that are hard for me to diagnose without knowing your specific hair and routine. However, you made some very telltale comments that lead me to suspect that I know why your hair is frizzy:
You “just big choped” and “have a lot of straight hair with heat damage from presses and flat irons”.
I suspect the heat damage has compromised the shaft of your hair allowing more moisture into the strand and thereby making it frizz.“All that hair is just kinda straight and frizzy”.
This is because that hair is heat DAMAGED, as in … well … damaged. If you read my post about dry hair you’ll learn that heat styling breaks downs bonds in the hair’s structure. When the outer layer of the hair is damaged, it allows more water into the hair shaft and thereby creates more frizz.
Now that we’ve established that, let’s answer your questions about what you can do to reduce your frizz:

I get asked about dry hair A LOT.
Natural hair on us black folk {African Americans* if you’re the P.C. sort} doesn’t retain moisture well, it must be assisted. Generally speaking our scalps make less sebum {oil} than our non-black counterparts, and on top of that {pun intended}, our loopdyloop curls make it hard for that sebum to distribute itself down the hair shaft. By the way, this is also part of why our hair isn’t as shiny. It’s hard out “hair”.
Ever wonder why your hair is so dry? Here are 10 potential reasons why:
