Question:
My hair gets very frizzy after I blow it dry. What can I use to keep my frizzies down?
Answer: To prevent a fuzzy look after blow-drying, apply a quarter-size amount of styling cream to your locks while they're damp, concentrating product on ends. Next, disperse a quarter-size dollop of light-hold gel (for finer hair) or medium-hold gel (for thick, coarse hair) throughout your hair, so strands are fully coated, recommends New York City stylist Jimmy Paul. Comb your hair into place. With a diffuser attachment on your blow-dryer, dry hair, starting at the nape of your neck and working forward. Stop when your hair is 90 percent dry and allow the rest to air-dry. Also, be sure to use a deep-conditioning treatment once a week to prevent dryness, which contributes to a frizzy look.
