Hi, I'm Michelle O'Connor, celebrity hairstylist, and today I'm going to talk about how to prevent frizz in African-American hair. So as you can see we're starting with Ebony's hair being really smooth, really sleep. We blow dried this hair and she's going to be ready to face the elements no matter how humid the day is outside. How would we prevent frizz in this hair? We actually use a product that's going to be an anti humidity spritz or some type of humidity repellent. This way we actually lock in the moisture and lock out the humidity. In order to prevent frizz product is key, making sure you get all of the water out of your hair, that's another key and also making sure that as a finishing tool you put a nice glossing serum on the hair to get rid of flyaways as well as seal those cuticles down and have the ends be really sleep. I have product called Spradiance which will do exactly that. As you can see, all I'll use in my hand will be just basically about one drop as always, emulsify the product, warm the product up in your hand and go right in to the hair starting from your ends first, working it through with your fingers, using your fingers as a comb in essence and just sealing that cuticle down. And we always want to work toward the bottom first. That way we don't weigh down the top portion of the hair. We always want to see a softness and very clean look in that top portion. As I finish that look you'll see that I still have remaining product in my hand. It's at this point that I go in and I work it through the crown area because this will ensure that the hair stays lifted, the hair stays smooth and most of all frizz free. And now I'm just going to distribute that product throughout the hair, brushing it after you apply product is always a great idea because it distributes it throughout the entire head of hair. Just a tip for you you know at night when she's going to sleep one of the things that I highly recommend is to just wrap this hair, wrap the entire head of hair around her head almost like you would be using the head as a roller and this will also aid in preventing her hair from frizzing. When she wakes up every morning all she has to do is pull that hair down and she's good to go. And there you go, that's how you prevent frizz in African-American hair. I'm Michelle O'Connor and thanks for watching.
