Your Hair Can Be This Shiny

It's all about supersmooth strands. That's because the smoother the hair cuticle, the more light it reflects. When a cuticle is damaged, light gets absorbed into cracks and crevices, making hair look dull. "For megashine, you need to fill in those cracks and use styling techniques that smooth the cuticle instead of rough it up," says Tommy Buckett, stylist at Sally Hershberger Downtown salon, in New York.

2009-05-01T00:00:00

For soft but controlled waves, the trick is to layer your frizz-fighting products from shampoo to styling cream. Try Garnier Wonder Waves Shampoo and Conditioner ($3.99 each), which contain a small amount of styling ingredients to make waves more manageable. When your hair is damp but not dripping, emulsify a curl cream, like Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer ($18) or Aveda Be Curly Curl Control ($18), between your palms and apply to your hair, concentrating on the ends. Do not comb or brush your hair, because it will break up the curls and cause frizz.

Too much! If any of those products are alcohol-based you might be making your frizz worse because alcohol dries out the hair and causes more flyaways. The healthier the hair the less it'll frizz, so use nourishing shampoo and conditioner like Pureology Essential Repair, and at least once a week apply a deep conditioning mask like Pantene 5-Minute Strengthening Mask. Finally, there have been many imitators but John Frieda Frizz Ease Original Serum is still considered the gold standard. Run 3-4 drops through wet hair and then style as usual.
