What the Frizz?

"Before" pictures are so very valuable. They remind us of how far we have come and sometimes endear us to our past. In hindsight, that perm or those 12 extra pounds weren't really that bad. Hey Nicole Kidman, this is you 24 years ago. The frizz seemed excessive, but you were still cute in that "girl who only dates guys with Camaros" way. For a chance to win a pro FHI blowdryer (worth $200), go to TheStylephile.com and scroll down to "Tame Nic's Frizz and Win." Do it fast, as the best post for how to control frizzy hair will be selected later today.

Olive oil is the best natural conditioner for frizz-prone hair. I'm Greek, and I learned at an early age to rub a tiny dab of olive oil through my hair after shampooing. Works like magic!

Frizzies are a total PHYTO fix! Firstly, wash your hair with PHYTO Brush. Thereafter apply gallons of ice cold water. Secondly, to wet hair apply a dime-size dollop of PHYTO Defrissant that has been draped through your fingers unto your locks. Thirdly, dab a smidgen of PHYTO No. 9 creme unto your digits and saturate your mane. Bye Bye Frizzies!

"curly pudding" is the best curl fixative i've ever tried. it's made by two sisters who are of mixed heritage - their white mother had no idea how to tame their curls.

I have extremely curly, thick red hair, and it does tend to frizz in the summer humidity. The first step is not to over shampoo, as it strips the oils out of the hair making it extra dry and prone to frizz. Then , I use a fabulous leave in conditioner in the shower. When the hair is slightly wet, I use a frizz control or wax based product to separate the curls. I use my fingers (no brushes or combs) to separate the curls and curl them around my fingers for relaxed curls. If the hair gets frizzed during the day..a light spritz of water reactivates the curl product.

Pull an old-school Sinead. Shave it all off. :)

First off, don't EVER brush dry curly hair, EVER! Once out of the shower it's all about product, product, product...the creamier the better. I find that heavier products tend to do the most to control frizz and once your hair is dry, it's oil time! Frizz-ease if the most used, I'm sure but almost every hair care company sells some kind of oily finishing product. A lil dime sized squirt in the palm of your hand, a lil rub of the palms and smooth out that frizz...always the ends, never the roots!

Why do something yourself when you can have someone take care of it for you? Let's not kid ourselves; we know that's how Nic rolls. Head off to the nearest posh LA salon and read US Weekly while being expertly diffused and curled.

Obviously, by now Nic has learned the 3-Step Formula of Frizz Control: Step 1: Wash with a moisturizing shampoo Step 2: Generously apply leave-in conditioner Step 3: DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR HAIR UNTIL DRY Viola-- no more frizzy poodle ''''do, just pretty, defined curls!

She needs to use a leave-in conditioner. Dry. Add a dab of Alberto VO5
