Humidity Chose Violence (AKA Hair Frizz)... So I Chose BKIND, Drybar, Redavid & Conair!

All winter long we dream about summer. We beg for it. We count down to it. We swear we'll never complain about the heat again. 

 

Then it finally arrives... and immediately reminds us that every season has its own special way of keeping us humble - we step outside for approximately 17 seconds, and suddenly our hair has transformed into a tribute band for Hagrid. 

 

Because while summer is great for patios, iced coffee, and pretending we'll "definitely spend more time outside," it's also absolute chaos for our hair. Humidity has one job, and apparently that job is making every strand on your head ignore years of styling, expensive products and your personal wishes.

 

The sleek blowout you spent 30 minutes perfecting? Gone before you've even backed out of the driveway. Your curls? They've formed a labour union and are refusing to follow instructions. 

 

If your hair has recently entered its feral era, don't panic. These are a few of my favourite frizz fighters that help convince my hair to behave... or at least fake it convincingly... 

 

BKIND Leave-In Conditioning Serum - 90ml - $58 

 

If your hair has been screaming for moisture louder than your garden in August, this leave-in serum is exactly what it needs. 

 

It's lightweight, packed with hemisqualane, repairing phytosterols and nourishing plant oils and somehow manages to smooth frizz, strengthen hair, define curls, add shine and protect against heat up to 450°F all at once. 

 

And if all that isn't enough, it also helps restore softness, shine and manageability while keeping curls defined and colour looking fresh. And as an added bonus, the pear and green tea scent makes hair smell amazing!

 

Basically, it's the overachiever of the group while the rest of us are just trying to survive until September.

 

Available at spas and boutiques across Canada - you can locate one near you or buy online at bkind.com.

 

Drybar Final Call Frizz & Static Control Mist - 140g - $39.50

 

You know that moment when you leave the house looking fabulous and five minutes later your hair says, "Actually... no"? 

 

This is for that. 

 

 One quick mist creates an invisible shield that helps keep frizz, flyaways and static from hijacking your style for up to 24 hours. The nourishing formula combines Monoi oil, coconut milk and vitamin E for softness and shine, while sunflower seed and jojoba help create a humidity-resistant barrier around each strand. It also protects against UV rays and pollution because, apparently, our hair has more daily enemies than we realized. As an added bonus it has a coconut, vanilla and amber scent that gives me the summer vibe that I am here for in the Blanc Scent option - or if you prefer something more tropical it also comes in a Coconut Colada version. 

 

Available at Shoppers Drug Mart and Chatters stores across Canada or online at beauty.shoppersdrugmart.ca and chatters.ca 

 

Redavid Orchid Oil Treatment Ultra Nourishing Anti-Frizz Serum - 30ml - $22, 90ml - $46, 250ml - $98

 

This serum is basically the friend who shows up with snacks, a charger, a first-aid kit and jumper cables. 

 

Frizz? Covered. 

Heat protection? Yep. 

Detangling? Absolutely. 

Shine? You got it!

 

A lightweight leave-in treatment smooths frizz, restores moisture, detangles, speeds up blow-drying, adds shine and protects against heat without leaving your hair looking like you accidentally deep-fried it.

 

It uses a combination of coconut oil and Cymbidium Orchid Oil to strengthen, hydrate and smooth even the most dramatic hair days without leaving behind greasy residue. 

 

Some hair oils promise the world but leave you hanging - this one actually clocks in for work! 

 

Available online at redavid.ca and amazon.ca. 

 

Conair Smooth and Shine Cordless Heated Brush - $39.97

 

This little gadget is for all those moments when your hair betrays you in public. 

 

It's cordless, rechargeable, travel-friendly and smooths flyaways faster than you can say, "Was my hair seriously doing that all day?" 

 

Ceramic heated bristles and ionic technology help tame frizz in minutes, making it perfect for your purse, desk drawer or glove compartment—because hair emergencies have absolutely no respect for your schedule. 

 

Available at Walmart stores across Canada and online at walmart.ca and amazon.ca.

 

 

Summer is wonderful... but until my hair learns to agree at least these products will help keep the frizz under control and let me look like I have my life together... even if it's just from the shoulders up!

Wake up to better skin thanks to overnight formulas from No7, Versed & Pixi!

No7 Advanced Retinol 1.5% Complex Night Concentrate - 30ml - $44 - works night after night to deliver visibly younger looking skin with 5 in 1 action: lines look smoother; skin tone looks even; skin appears firm and lifted; skin appears brighter and more radiant; and pores and texture look refined.

The expert formula contains two powerful age-defying technologies: retinol - reboots skin, helping it to act like younger, healthier looking skin; and Matrixyl 3000 Plus - renews skin, kick-starting its natural repair process - delivered in a retinol optimiser - an intelligent slow-release oil encapsulation system for enhanced delivery throughout the night and helped along by a retinol soother - that helps to calm skin - for visible skin transformation.

I will caution that sensitive skin can find retinol uncomfortable so if your skin does anything more then tingle a bit when it's applied, start off by using it every other night for the first week or so until your skin gets used to it.

Versed The Shortcut Overnight Facial Peel - 30ml - $26.99 - a resurfacing peel that works overnight on dull and aging skin to gently smooth and renew with with an exfoliating and brightening blend of lactic acid, glycolic acid and vitamin A to refine texture and tone.

This week I'm obsessed with... Indeed Labs Hydraluron + Moisture Mist!

We are spending so much more time in front of screens these days with our skin being impacted from blue light in negative ways - which means we need something to shield it!

Indeed Labs Hydraluron + Moisture Mist - 75ml - $24.99 - a face mist that provides lasting moisture to the skin while helping to defend against blue light and environmental stressors.

It features two key ingredients including: soliberine - reduces skin oxidation and inflammation by targeting the different harmful effects of UV-rays, blue light and IR wavelengths; and sodium hyaluronate (a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid) - increases moisture and enhances elasticity - which work to penetrate beneath the skin’s surface to provide lasting moisture and plumpness to the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps to restore skin’s protective barrier, brighten skin, and defend against outdoor pollution and blue light from computer screens, smartphones, and other digital devices that emit significant amounts of HEV light.

Apply in the morning before moisturizer and/or serum and  throughout the day over a bare face or makeup as an instant pick-me-up to refresh and hydrate stressed and tired-looking skin.

Best of all, there is nothing in it that's bad for your face, it's free of fragrances, colourants, parabens, drying alcohols, mineral oil, phthalates, sulfates and silicones!
