Does She Have a Secret?

Quick Tip

*Don't Forget This Step

When using tools that require a lot of heat or high temperatures to perform their duties, be sure to use a thermal protectant or straightening balm to protect your hair.

*How Does It Smell?

Before you buy your next gel or shampoo, open it and take a sniff. Does it appeal to you? There is one shampoo on the market that smells just like cough medicine. I just can't stand it and the entire bottle would have gone to waste if I hadn't checked first.

*What Are Pomades?

Be sure to read the container for instructions. Some can be added to wet or dry hair. This product will smooth the frizzies or flyaways in seconds flat. You want shine? Pomades can help here too.
