Original email from Kimberly on Facebook:

“Hi! My name is Kimberly. About a month ago, a group of stylists went to MDA Camp in Chestertown, MD, to do the hair, nails, & makeup of the female campers. I was one of the campers that got their hair done. Now let me tell you; when I curl my hair, it never stays curled, even though I have naturally curly/wavy hair. It frizzes up, especially in the heat.

I mentioned that to the nice woman that did my hair & she assured me my hair would stay curled & not frizz up. She was very sweet. The reason I’m telling you all of this is because I had my hair done, went to the dance (danced my butt off in the humidity), then听slept on my hair that same night. GUESS WHAT?听My hair did not frizz up! My hair stayed curled the whole night even after I slept on it. The next day I didn’t have to do anything to my hair. It was beautiful. So I have to ask, what did she do to my hair??!! What products were used?? Because whatever it was, I wanna buy ASAP!”

91国产 Institutes South student from our Washington DC location,听Ellie Blair, styled Kimberly’s hair. 听Here are the steps Ellie performed to create that beautiful style that tamed hair frizz in high humidity.

• Ellie first used the technique to dry and loosen the curl in Kimberly’s hair.
• Then Ellie used , applying and working it into the roots of the hair.
• Next Ellie sprayed each piece lightly with

Sun damage causes discoloration, dry and brittle strands, broken or split ends, thinning and frizziness.

Fine or light-colored hair lacks pigment that protects the strands from the sun’s rays, making this hair type more vulnerable.
