Oil up for Winter
‘Tis the season for static and flyaways. There is nothing worse than rogue hair after the perfect blow-out. For a quick fix, use a dryer sheet to smooth strands. Throw one in your clutch should you catch frizz on the go. At home, give your hairbrush a spritz of hairspray and brush through the top layers of hair. Or check out a multi-tasking hair oil. Hair oils have come a long way since the days of greasy serums. Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Moroccan Argan Styling Oil is lightweight and adds a dose of shine. Kérastase’s new Touche Finale Supershine Polishing Serum is earning rave reviews from stylists. This great smelling product adds softness and controls frizz.
