Anonymous asked: Hi Kay, I've really enjoyed reading your blog. I have a question regarding brushing out curls. My curls may looked soft and polished right after brushing out but after half a day of moving around in the office, they tend to have a frizzed out look. I've noticed in photgraphs of everyday women from the 40s that frizzy curls were not that all uncommon, however I would still like to be able to tame my mane. I've tried pomade but if I fiddle with my curls too much, they fall out. Any tips?
Hi there, sorry taken a while to respond to this, I have no excuse but laziness!
Thanks for following the blog.
There’s a few things you can try out, if you aren’t up for embracing the frizz (which is what I tend towards, again out of laziness, I’d rather brush it through, sleek the top, coat in a bit hairspray, top up my red lipstick, put on a beret and pull my best Bacall face). Heavy products like pomades/oils will make your curls fall quicker, but they do stop frizzing, so it’s a catch 22 really, but oils are a lighter option.
Here’s some alternatives you can try out
1. try using a very small amount of light hold hairspray throughout the day to coat the hair
2. use more setting lotion when you curl your hair
3. use an invisible hairnet
4. try a shine spray after curling
5. just pin your hair up at the end of the day, why not change your style you have a basic wave shaping there from the curls it’s the ideal time to change it up!
Hope that helps!
