Pomade
Since I`ve been using this great line of products by got2b, I have been getting so many compliments! It`s a pomade called, "Defiant," and it doesn`t leave my hair with that sticky, wheaty feeling! My hair stays in place all day and itīs super shiny! I found this hidden gem of a pomade at my local supermarket and it`s under $10. What a find!

Updo for Wavy or Curly Hair
Choose a headband thatīs ornate but not overly glitzy (like 2 linked bands of gold) to set off an updo. With elastic band, put hair back into a high ponytail. Next, pull the tail through the elastic again, stopping halfway through, making a loose bun. Pull back front tendrils or bangs with the headband.

Taming Curly Hair
Avoid split ends and frizzies by combing curly hair with a wide-toothed comb while soaking wet. Then, put the comb down. Never comb dry, curly hair. Take it from me, youīll end up looking like Rosanna-Rosanna Danna, the frizzy headed news woman played by Gilda Radner on the old Saturday Night Live reruns. Run your hands under water and run your fingers through your hair if you need to detangle.

Glamour for Long Hair
Add that extra touch of glamour to extra-bare party attire with long, smooth hair parted off to the side. Apply a dollop of smoothing cream (like Redkin Straight) to damp hair before blow-drying it straight. Finish off with a dab of shine serum (like Matrix Biolage Shine Renewal).

Avoid the Frizzies
To avoid the frizzies in humid weather, blowdry hair completely and use a special hair gloss/laminator. For all you curly headed gals out there, please use your products...There are MANY products on the market that help tame the frizz and keep the curl. Experiment and indulge yourself on your next trip to the salon. You can even find good products at the supermarket. I like Corrective Styling Mousse by Frizz-Ease.
