Handy hair trick – more volume, less frizz

I was working with a client at the salon last week and learned a new hair trick for avoiding droopy hair. Crystal at Mode Organic Salon in Seattle recommends applying your hair product to damp hair and then lightly squeezing hair with a towel. She says this helps remove any extra product your hair can’t absorb which will help your hair not seem droopy and heavy by the end of the day.

I tried it and my hair definitely had more volume, but it seemed a little frizzy.

Then the next day, I read a celeb hairstylist recommends drying hair with a t-shirt instead of a towel to avoid making hair frizzy. I tried drying my wet hair with a t-shirt and that took too long.

So, I decided to combine the two tricks and ‘voila’ more volume and less frizz.  I’ve had to play with the amount of product, but overall it is a big improvement.

Here’s the new routine for my wavy hair:

1. Towel dry wet hair.
2. Apply curl enhancing lotion.
3. Gently squeeze with t-shirt.
4. Apply small amount of anti frizz creme (avoid roots).
5. Gently squeeze with t-shirt.
6. Style and scrunch (a little) and go.

BTW: I highly recommend the products I bought at Mode Organic for wavy hair. They work great and smell divine.

Kevin.Murphy Motion.Lotion – Curl Enhancing Lotion $22 at Mode; $25.48 w/ship @ Amazon.com

Also, I can recommend Crystal at Mode Organic Downtown Seattle for wavy hair. She was great with my client and gave her a haircut that required very little styling (I told her five minutes max). Right now, on Yelp, she is offering 25% off her normal $50 rate for a cut for 1st time clients. Mode Organic Salon 4th and Pike, Seattle, WA (206) 623-0195 to schedule.
