Re: summer hair/skin

what sunblock do you use? I used to tan in 5 seconds flat on the very first sunny day.......and I would look totally dark for the rest of the summer......tried all sorts of sunblock with really high ratings etc. until I found dermaglow. Now I barely change color at all.....

and for hair.....how about finding hairstyles that tie your hair up.......or use the frizz to your advantage by styling in messy up-do's.....

Re: summer hair/skin

Re: summer hair/skin

ya, for frizz i dnt know what u can do other than avoid going out much?! i wonder if the shampoos n all those treatments aimed for frizz free hair even work. highly doubt it.

Re: summer hair/skin

i use neutrogena....which leaves this nasty WHITE cast

i will look into dermaglow...because its not like i get a nice tan...its a weird color change...and i just look reallly bad :(

sara-- but i want nice and shiny hairrrrrrrrr :(. i barely ever have it. sigh.

has anyone tried a relaxer?

Re: summer hair/skin

They absolutely do work. Anyone of you who have seen my pics can tell that iI should be the poster child for frizz, but is my naturally curly hair frizzy or untamed? NO WAY!

Why? Because of the products I use and how I have "trained" my hair. Now I know that what I do may not be true for everyone, but it IS possible to battle the frizz and win, while keeping your hair healthy.

Re: summer hair/skin

well name some hair products na khatti! pleaseeeeee. and you are right, because i have trained my skin to look a certain way (minus the tanning around this time), but i havent succeeded with the hair :frowning: and i want to…because hair makes a BIGGG difference.

Re: summer hair/skin

What is your hair like naturally? Perhaps try to work with it, with the help of products, so you don't need to straighten it. I just mousse my hair and let it dry naturally and then put some sea salt spray in it. The wavy beach look is hot for the summer and looks good with a tan glow. If you've gone a bit tan, try working with that too? Use products that make your skin glow and some highlighter?

Re: summer hair/skin

^Like stoppits, Embrace the frizz and turn it to curls is what I say!

Re: summer hair/skin

stoppit–my natural hair is weird.

Re: summer hair/skin

uurgghh same problem, I looks so dead and tired during summer, not fresh at all. plus the area around mouth gets all dark :( no idea what to do!

15

Re: summer hair/skin

Anyways....Philo, I'll PM you my hair regimen, and to anyone else who is interested.

And I agree with Stoppits...I fully embrace and love my natural curly hair!! I don't try to straighten it or shy away from it, and that is how I learned to tame and conquer the frizz.

Don't listen to the haters, it can be done!

Re: summer hair/skin

And I agree, training your curly hair is possible. I have really curly hair and I find the less I straighten it, the more defined my curls tend to get once I style them. Also, coconut oil (NOT Parachute which stinks. Try getting some from a local store or Amazon which smells mouthwatering and like coconut macaroons!) hair made the biggest difference in my hair because a little bit of the residue (i intentionally left a bit on the lower bit of my hair) so even after shampoo and conditioner it was still there. And it made my hair completely frizz-free. I also love the Frizz-Ease serum.

Re: summer hair/skin

Re: summer hair/skin

^ ya John frieda doesnt work on my hair either...
how about braiding ur hair or making a high/low messy bun

tie ur hair up when its slightly damp . when its **completely **dry, open it and apply tons of mousse , it will give u voluminous wavy hair.

Re: summer hair/skin

^will it dry when it's up though?

should i put it up in a bun ?
