Hair question for professionals....?

Hello, I am a 33 y/o mom. I have long-ish (bottom of my shoulder blades) hair and it is straight for the most part with little natural wave. The wave is not even so it looks bad when I just leave it natural...... and it gets frizzy.

I like to wear it up as well as down (I work %26amp; have kids). What is an easy, stylish cut to maintain? Also, I was wondering if I got a wave or perm with BIG curlers to give it body, would it still get frizzy when left to dry on its own? Thanks in advance!!!

I wouldn't recommend a perm because if you already have a frizz problem, a perm will most likely look frizzy as well. I am more concerned that you might not be using good enough products to manage your hair.

I really like Silky Sexy Hair shampoo and conditioner because it leaves the hair silky and frizz-free without weighing it down like a lot of silky shampoos do. It smells amazing too! You can buy it at any salon that sells sexy hair products. Also, when you go to get your hair cut, I would ask the stylist what products she recommends. It's important to realize that a good shampoo and conditioner is the most important first step to taking care of your hair, it makes your life so much easier!

As for the cut, I would cut it to be sitting on your shoulders with some longer layers. Angle it around your face, and add some side swept bangs. The reason this cut works so well is because the length encourages the ends to flip, which means you can wash your hair, add some gel or mouse, scrunch it, and go! It's still going to look like you put some effort into styling it even when you barely did anything at all. The side swept bangs make the hair look more like you have some type of style rather than just long hair hanging there. Also, when your hair is up, having bangs creates a polished chic look.

I really think this cut would work great for you because it will encourage your wave to behave, it's easy to maintain, and it looks stylish when worn either up or down. Here's a picture for you to look at, and if you like it, print it to take to your stylist. http://www.hairfinder.com/celebritypictu...

Good Luck!

Do not perm it, its just adding more trouble. I would suggest a good trim off the length, about two inches, then some nice long layers to soften and bounce some of your natural wave in a nicer pattern. Adding the layers will take some of the weight off your natural curl and help it form better.

To control frizz and add shine,use a nice glossing creme. You can also try using some curl enhancing products.
