I expected the heat and the humidity of the South. What I forgot, however, was how my hair reacts to this environment. All I can say is that I have been frizzified!
Yesterday I went to get a pedicure and I was sitting in the spa chair when I noticed my reflection in the mirror. It was a fright. My hair did not look like this before I left the house, but as soon as the humidity hit me I suddenly became Bride of Frankenstein. Yowza!
So I mentioned this out loud, and the lady in the chair next to me (a total southern belle) said to me, “Oh honey, you just get you some body lotion and smooth it on there when it’s dry. You’ll be lookin’ sleek.”
On the outside, I was courteous and thanked her for the advice. On the inside, however, I was like, “This woman is bonkers.” But when I got back to my Dad’s house, I decided to try it. And sure enough it worked! I didn’t believe it at first, so I went outside for a 20-minute walk to test it out. When I came back in, the frizz was contained!!
So folks, the lesson here is to never underestimate the beauty advice from a true Southern belle. These girls know their stuff!
Honey! I am glad you got such great advice! I, too, have used lotion in my hair in a pinch – it’s great for curls!
It is such a pleasure being able to read your blog! Thanks for keeping us posted!
If you want to keep your hair completely straight try “Hang Straight” by Aveda and use a hair iron. You won’t get frizz or curls. Trust me Miami is even worse than Jacksonville.
