I found another great product for curly hair last week, Strictly Curls by Marc Anthony. It helps define my curls and keep them in place all day, it also really helped keep the frizz at bay. On top of working great it smells like Lemon Meringue so yummy!

Besides my love for Fekkai Glossing cream I am always trying new products to help add a little life to my curly hair and prevent frizz. I’ve had a hard time finding something that doesn’t dry out my hair or just leave it limp and weighed down. While browsing my local Ulta store last week I decided to grab a few new curl enhancing products and I was lucky enough to stumble on Nexxus Curl Energee.

I love that Curl Energee is a spray it helps disperse it evenly without using too much product and it really helps my curls maintain there shape throughout the day. It is great at reviving curls as well at the end of the day you can spritz a little on your dry hair and scrunch and your curls are energized and ready to go again for a night out.

I gave Aussie Tizz no Frizz a try hoping to be surprised but I was left with dry hair that still got  frizzy.  After reading the online reviews I think I am one of the few people who didn’t like it. I think the level of curl has a lot to do with your results but I found it just dried out my hair and I couldn’t notice any real improvement of frizz in my hair.

I am looking for a new curl enhancing hair product that will eliminate frizz and not dry out my ends. I just bought a few new products and I will let you know how they work once I have had a chance to test run them. Has anyone had great success with a frizz fighting product they can share with me?

I go back and forth from Salon and drugstore conditioners while I love a lot of the professional products for the price difference I wonder if I am getting my moneys worth. Would really know the difference if they were in unmarked bottles? I have curly hair that gets really tangled in the shower and can be a pain to comb out on a drugstore whim I just tried Garnier Fructis Conditioner for dry and damaged hair and it totally helps condition and detangle my hair. It is a great conditioning product and doesn’t leave any build up.

What about you? Are you faithful to your favorite salon brands or will you try a drugstore brand to save money?

Jocelyn and I hit the mall for lunch and a Sephora run last week and both tried new products that were a major let down. I was buying some more Fekkai Glossing Cream when I was sucked into their Summer Hair display, after talking with a Sephora associate she told me it would leave the perfect beachy wind blown curl to my hair. So I ran like a giddy girl to  the register to make my purchase.

Then next day I am so excited to try my Fekkai Summer Spray and I notice how great it smells, like coconut and summer and I think I am moments away from hair that will make Giselle Bundchen envious. When I first spray some on my hair I did notice some big wavy curls. My problem was as it dried it left my hair feeling tacky and dried out and it really felt like it was covered in salt water. The longer is was in the bigger my hair seemed to grow, I felt like a chia pet by dinner time.

My final verdict is if you have a lot of natural curl and your hair tends to be dry AVOID this product. But if you have a little natural wave to your hair a spritz or two of Fekkai Summer Hair will probably leave your hair looking gorgeous and me green with envy.
