The folks over at Paul Labrecque had contacted me a while back to review some of their products. I didn’t feel right trying any products that weren’t vegan, but after a few emails back and forth confirming their curly hair care products were in fact vegan (they are) we were good to go. A few days later I received a package in the mail containing their curly shampoo, conditioner, styling cream gel and finishing spray (not pictured).
I have to be honest. I totally put off trying these products out for a while. Main reason being I was really happy with the products I was currently using on my hair. Everything I use is normally vegan, organic and chemical free. So I was slightly terrified to put something else in my hair. Why would I? I liked my current stuff.
Well long story short I’m really sorry I waited so long to try them out. Immediately after rinsing out the shampoo, I my hair felt softer. The conditioning cream is rich and thick, and really moisturized my parched locks. The cream gel was also a surprise, it gives fantastic hold with no “crunch” (if you’re a curly girl I know you know what I mean). The finishing spray makes my locks shiny and not greasy, and keeps them frizz free. I’ve also found the spray has helped perk up my curls the following day, so I can now go a day or two between washes.
The absolute nicest surprise has been that my curls have been 100% frizz free in the humid, NYC summer weather. I didn’t think that was possible!

I blowdry my hair with a flat brush after i put frizzease and nexxus leave in conditioner. I curl the ends under with a big round brush. then when its dry i blast it with a shot of cold air to lock in the style then run some bedhead afterparty smoothing creme through it.
I put baby powder on my scalp before going to sleep to absorb oil.
Right now I’m using Super Skinny by Paul Mitchell, but it’s really heavy on my hair sometimes…would like to try something else.
I use Ouidad gel and some sea salt texturizing spray, it’s almost great but then, it’s not.
i use aveda leave in conditioner and only run my fingers through it…no combs or brushes
I use leave in conditioner on soaking wet hair. Then I scrunch in gel ( La Looks Curl Gel or Got 2 Be Spiked) followed by Loreal Out of Bed. I let my hair air dry.
with good conditioner, oil after towel drying and product — still not totally successful though
I have use an anti-frizz serum blow-dry and flat iron
Moisture! Conditioning in the shower and right after I get out. I comb it through my hair both times to make sure it is evenly distributed.
Every other day I skip the shampoo and just use conditioner. And always use cold water. Brrrr.
Right now I am not fighting the frizz very well… When I want to spend the time I use a flat iron.
I use Frizzease to “attempt” to fight frizz but living at the beach in SC I’m not sure anything really works!
I rub a dollop of olive oil in my hands and then massage it through the rest of my hair. I’ve found that it also helps to use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner!
I wash it every other day but condition it daily, never brush it, and use Lush R&B moisturizing cream.
I use an anti-frizz serum and air dry. I also regularly contemplate just cutting it all off.

I use an anti frizz conditioner, but it doesn’t work that well in this humidity.

I use FrizzEase but when it’s really humid, there is nothing much that I tried that works any better.

I fight frizz my sleeping in conditioner
I used hair straightening shampoo and gel before styling.
I currently use hair silk in my hair after I shower. This helps fight frizz for me!
I follow you on Twitter now @missblissfulbee
i use a leave-in conditioner,does not work too well though.
I use my own mixed each morning all over my hair consisting of hair thickener cream, leave in conditioner, and frizz serum.
I change my haircare products fairly often because I haven’t found something that I love. I’m currently using Neutrogena Triple Moisture shampoo and deep recovery hair mask. I always air dry and the one product I do love is Frizz Ease Dream Curls spray- no crunchy curls!
I currently fight frizz with herbal essences curl mousse. It’s not the best, so I would love to try this!

Oh man..how I would really be blessed by this hair care! My hair is so curly, fuzzy, and dry!! I don’t style it much, just throw it up in a bun most days~I just use a natural argan oil to fight the frizz-but would love to try out this brand to be a life time customer if it’s awesome!!!

I was my hair 2-3 times a week only blow drying my bangs, the rest I let air dry. I use the Brazilian Blow out conditioner only, I’ve never gotten the full treatment because I like my curl, just not the frizz. It does a pretty good job of de-frizzing the hair but if I have to use additional products I use a thermal protector or leave-in conditioner. I’m always open to trying new things, always in search of that miracle product!

I feel like I’ve tried everything! I’m currently using Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk.
I use frizzease
I currently use Frizz Ease to fight frizz and fly aways. But also have to find a not so humid place to be on very hot days as it still doesn’t control the frizz when it’s really humid out.

I like to put lotion on my hands and then run them over my hair. Really helps get rid of those flyaways.

I use serum and flat iron.
I use Eco Awesome shampoo and conditioner and Let it Be leave in conditioner by Toni and Guy. Then I follow that up with Noodlehead curl spray. I love Rusk Curlsilk, but can’t find it anywhere around here.

I fight frizz by using dryer sheets! No really! I rub them on my head and it seems to help in the muggy, icky weather!

I use the diffuser instead of the blowdryer right now, during these warm months, to fight frizz.
