I'll admit it, I have major hair-envy. My hair is blonde, so naturally I couldn't stop imagining myself with beautiful auburn tresses until I tried to achieve it myself and ended up as an unfortunate Kool-Aid inspired redhead. I've gone from a nearly waist-length mane to the most delicate of pixie cuts, and have changed my highlight/lowlight combination more times than I can count. My piece d'resistance, however, was when I convinced a stylist, against her will, to give me a body wave.

To the poor stylist's credit, she warned me about potential frizz problems. Apparently, when you chemically curl already chemically dyed hair, you run the risk of ending up with frizzy feathers, rather than actual hair follicles. This, I'm afraid to say, is exactly what happened to me. Never one to dwell on the negatives, however, I embarked on a mission to find the best frizz-fighters out there.

Frederic Fekkai's Luscious Curls Curl Enhancing Lotion ($18.50) wins the award, in my opinion, as the best frizz-taming product available. Fekkai's shampoo and conditioner (both $20, from the Luscious Curls line) are also excellent, as they provide mucho moisture, which my feather-hair definitely needed. Other good products include Redken's Smooth Down Butter Treat ($12), and Bumble & Bumble's Curl Conscious Curl Creme ($29).
