Frizz-taming tips

<p> Every time you wash your hair, you must condition - in fact, just wash with conditioner some days. Try leaving it on for five minutes or more to give hair a chance to replenish oils and rehydrate, and start using a conditioning masque at least once a week. Drying tip: Be sure not to pull or twist your hair or you could risk breaking it, which will cause those pesky flyaways.</p>
