Fighting the Frizz: Alfredo Lewis Shares his Best Tips!

Nothing to Disclose



Create a style that goes with your hair type. When it's humid, hair tends to have a mind of its own. Don't fight it... embrace it! If you have straight hair, stay away from curls. If you have curly hair, choose waves or loose curls as your look for the day. Don't over-dry, and use a smoothing serum layered with a light smoothing gel to hold the style. But don't go crazy with the product....less is more.

Smoothing treatments are a great way to avoid frizz. My go-to is Brazilian Blowout. There is no down time, and it lasts for 12 weeks. I have gotten them regularly since summer arrived. My clients love them because the result is manageable, frizz-free hair for vacations and beach time.

I use these products on my clients and when I go to the salon: Brazilian Blowout Acai Daily Smoothing Serum is fantastic. Apply a quarter size to ends, and comb through. You can either air dry or apply before styling. Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray is FANTASTIC. I am addicted to it. It's light, yet holds and leaves hair with bounce and movement. It also smells incredible.
