Product Review: Tresemme Frizz Shield

I didn't realize how much of a problem frizz was until I spent the weekend in Atlanta earlier this year and my hair started looking crazy less than 2 minutes off the plane. The humidity down there is NO JOKE and I basically kept my hair in a bun the entire time because whenever I tried to wear my hair out it swelled up and just looked huge. I'm not a huge fan of big hair on me (in case you were wondering, I had my hair straightened).

More recently I was really excited when I first saw the commercial for the Tresemme Frizz Shield line which, according to the bottles, "lock out frizz and humidity." I thought it would be the perfect solution to my trouble especially with the heat being so crazy but to be honest, I wasn't impressed.

The products I purchased were the Tresemme Frizz Shield finishing spray for so-called 24 hour smoothness and the climate protection mousse "for all hair types." I used each product as the directions state and really saw no difference. I've used these products several times now and have not gotten my desired results. Each time I do my hair and leave the house it gets all big and almost puffy within a few minutes. Not what I wanted, expected or was promised by the product. I'll give them a few more tries just to be sure and so I don't feel like I've wasted my money but I probably won't by these particular Tresemme products again. However, everyone's hair reacts differently so feel free to give them a try on your own hair.

No BC for Me....

Hey, that rhymed!

Anyway, I realize it's been a while since I posted anything but to be honest there really isn't much to talk about as far as my hair is concerned. It's actually been months since I've done a real "transitioning" hairstyle. I've basically been using different techniques to straighten my hair every week. Yes, I know: Heat bad, no heat good. Whatever. Until someone can find a way for me to get a relaxed look with no heat and no relaxer, a flat iron is my best friend. I try to minimize the use of heat as much as possible. I only straighten my hair every 2-3 weeks and rarely, if ever, use heat in between washes.

About the big chop.....I'm tempted to just clip the rest of my relaxed ends because I really want to do another two strand twist or twist out hairstyle and I know it'll look better without those relaxed ends. However, my hair isn't as long as I want it to be right now. I'm really big on length at the moment so I'm not ready to cut yet. It's only a little over a year into my transition so hopefully by the end of this year or early next year I'll have the length I want. I'm also considering a bob type cut but I'd definitely have to wear my hair straight then so I don't know.

Even if I were to try something new with my hair I broke my camera so I couldn't post pictures anyway :(. That's all I really have to say for now. There's a couple of new products I'm trying out so I'll post reviews on those soon.

Peace out.
