...featuring Michael Douglas (hair, not actor) on hair styling ingredients & why your shampoo probably can't give you the volume that you want, plus some other people I like and you might too...
This is comforting. That it’s so genuinely tricky to find the products that will exactly work for your own hair type and styling habits. So basically what I need is this polymer thing that will seal into the hair when I tong it? This sounds like some sort of miracle!
Yes! I feel like Color Wow Dream Coat is pretty good at this. But if I really want hold, I’ll comb a mousse through before tonging. And then rake my fingers through to get rid of the crispiness once cooled.
Hi Claire, like you, I have unpredictable curly hair and am also a sucker for the next product which promises me the dream of frizz-free defined curls. Naturally, I went straight onto Michael's website and ordered the primer plus the mousse and the blow dry spray. Have tried the primer and the mousse today and am pleased so far, though my hair isn't completely dry yet. I find my curls look best the best when I apply products to really sopping wet hair and then lightly scrunch using the Only Curls towel. Their satin pillowcase helps to stop it flattening completely overnight. Enough curly hair chat, though thank you for giving me a safe space to share :)
Love this! And I agree, curl patterns for me also form best with product on soaking wet hair that’s then squidged. I do find it tricky to gauge how much product I need and I still haven’t figured out the best wrapping method. I use an old T-shirt - hi tech 🤣
This is great, thanks - although annoying as I've just bought an expensive shampoo and had high hopes. I stopped using silicone shampoos as they made my hair feel greasy and weird but oil-based products seem to be fine. Looking forward to any future episodes on managing curls...
