This is the first post in a series of solutions for common hair problems.

So you have impossibly thick or curly hair that is difficult to style and tends to frizz in humidity. Lets go to the experts for some agreed upon solutions:

Styling Product: Use an anti-frizz styling product like Fekkai Coiff Perfecteur Anti-Frizz Silkening Creme.

Use on clean damp hair to give your curls a light weight hold that will combat frizziness and keep your hair manageable.

Brush: Use a vent brush like the GHD Air Brush which is made specifically to vent heat through the brush into the hair follicle and control blow drying thicker hair.

Use it while you blow dry your hair to keep hair manageable and curls under control.
