Humidity - My Nemesis

Humidity is a horrid little bastard who's only goal in life is to ruin my day by making my hair both limp and frizzy, neither being an attractive thing.  I search high and low to find ways to defeat him, I sometimes win in the Michigan summers, but always lose in the North Carolina summers. I think you can hear NC humidity snickering when I unpack my precious battle ready products.

Here I present to you the honorable weapons that help in this epic battle:  Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum. This helps a lot in the war on frizz, but can make limpness worse if you should err and apply to the roots of your hair. If you stick to below the roots it will help a lot keep hair frizz free. This stuff is available just about anywhere and lasts a long time as you use very little.

Basically any serum that coats the hair will help lock out humidity. Blow has a product called Weather Girl climate Serum which fly's out of our warehouse and over to the East & West coasts like little soldiers off to do battle. It too is a serum and used sparingly helps fight the good fight.

Blow Weather Girl is available at CraveBeautyOnline.com

The Living Proof Frizz line does not live up to it's high expectations for me, although I was practically drooling into my laptop when it was released. I though mankind had found the answer but it is not the answer for me (small sob).

We welcome any wisdom out there from out similarly challenged soul sisters.

Volume - The hunt for this elusive creature continues

Ah Volume, how I hunt for thee. No expense has been spared in the crusade for dependable, lasting volume but it remains tantalizing, and just out of reach. Below are some products I reach for every morning and the hunt continues... Stay tuned for new discoveries.

In the winners circle for hairspray are: Nick Chavez Amazon Hair Body Building Spray. This really does deserve an award for service to womankind, it never feels stiff or tacky and gives plenty of ooomph wherever it is sprayed. I rarely repeat products preferring to believe in the next best thing but this is an exception, I have left cans of the stuff in my wake. I get mine from Ulta or Follica.com.

A new discovery is Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hairspray. This is fairly new but I like it, gives a stiffer feel to the hair than the above product but sometimes a girl needs that to make it through the day.  Available at Aveda salons nationwide.

Also winners in the hair spray award category is Ojon Volumizing Extra Hold Hiarspray, and our very own Blow Out Non-Stick Hairspray, a truly revolutionary formulation that we adore. Vogue seems to agree as they named it one of the 5 best hair-sprays evah. Not bad press for the great people at Blow, the New York Blow-Out Bar.

Blow Hair Care is available at CraveBeautyOnline.com

Blow also has a great Blow-Up Root-Lift Concentrate product that works well enough to deserve honorable mention.  People swear by the Blow Faux Dry dry shampoo powder too, this is a popular item on our website.

I like mousse styling products best, there are good ones in regular rotation in my bathroom from Frederick Fekkai and Nexus, a gel I really like is by Shu Uemura and is called Fiber Lift Protective Volumizer. It is a clear gel and I reach for this on days I have to achieve my best hair.  I found it at Follica.com.

GO forth and volumize people and please let us know what you find!
