It's raining here today. I love the rain, but my hair hates it. My curls frizz up when it pours, and soon I look like an "SNL" throwback: Rosanne Roseannadanna. Not exactly the look I'm going for.


This morning, I decided to fight back. I tried adding the Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness Shampoo, $3.99 to my usual cocktail of products -- I was curious whether a shampoo could really make a big difference in my frizz factor. When I walked outside, I noticed my hair didn't instantly turn to fuzz. That was a big improvement. Its humidity-resisting formula must be working -- my kinky hair seemed shockingly tamed.


It's amazing how much your hair texture can affect your confidence. When my hair looks good, I feel great about myself -- like I can tackle the world (which is why I'm soon going to copy the celebrity hairstyles in this lookbook). When my hair looks frizzy, my self-esteem takes a nosedive. I know it's crazy that my hair has this much control over my self-image, but it does. So any product that can help me fight the frizzies gets a big thumbs up in my book.


How do you fight the frizzies? Any products you swear by that I should add to my arsenal?
