Best styling stuff for curls?


Question Posted Thursday November 4 2010, 4:33 pm

Okay so I have no idea what I want for christmas other than uggs and gift cards so I was thinking I could ask for a bunch of expensive styling products that I would never buy myself. I have crazy curly/frizzy hair.

I have a curling iron but I'm not too impressed with it. Maybe it's just user error though, I'm not sure. What is the best curling iron. I was thinking about getting a waving iron too but do you think that would work if i have naturally curly hair?

I'm very happy with my straightener so I don't need a new one until this one breaks.

I also might want a new blow dryer. Does anyone know if those blowdryers that also straighten your hair work? I'll even have my hair blown out at salons and they can't even get it to not frizz so i'd need a really good blow dryer to blow out my hair. Also whats the best one for defusing?

As far as products go.... I'm lost. I'd like a curl cream that like stops frizz and defines curls but I haven't found a good one yet, i've tried a few gels and mousses too with not much luck. I'm also trying to grow my hair out so I'd like something that prevents heat damage and something that nourishes my hair. Other than that what's the best antifrizz serum?

Folica.com is a great resource for such things. They also sell all types/price ranges of products at a pretty good discount - 'cause hey, even if you can afford a $250 hair dryer, why not get it for half that? There's also tons of user reviews (some are in the thousands).

A girl in my dorm has one of those curling iron sticks... the ones without a clamp. It works so well, and also heats up to about 8378983458743 degrees. It curls hair without a crimp/tangling. Folica has a bunch.


Anyway, I'm always in search of the "perfect" cream and am yet to find one. Tigi/Catwalk makes a "curls rock" line [EDIT- the scruncing spray is called Frisky] and I only ever use it when I get my hair done at a salon, but it's really good!


The best anti-frizz serum I've ever used is Paul Mitchell Super Skinny.
It's fantastic.
It's a miracle worker.
I cannot rave about this product enough. It's about 20 dollars a bottle most places, but if there's a vocational school with a salon in your area, you can buy it for about 11 or 12. It lasts for months anyway, so it ends up being wicked inexpensive. The serum makes your hair dry faster too, without frizz. Even on days my hair isn't behaving, it's never frizzy/poofy because of this stuff.

I grew my hair out after middle school. I alternate between a bunch of shampoos, and really it's a matter of personal opinion as to what works best for your own hair; experiment and decide what you like. I alternate between Pantene - whatever the moisture collection is called now- and Garnier length&strength. I use Redken Iron Silk for heat protection. I get haircuts about 3 times a year (I'm lazy) and never have many splits at all.

I have the same kind of hair and have struggled to find good products. I found a leave in conditioner and frizz serum called "Mixed Chicks" and it has changed my life. Seriously, I have thrown out all my other products. Its a bit expensive but worth every penny. If you can't afford it or don't like it, you can also try Frizz Eaze products. They have a whole line of products for frizzy care. Good luck!
