1.) Frizz is caused by:
a. Watching too many late night screenings of B-Grade horror films
b. Giving off bad vibes while styling your hair
c. Rough brushing or combing, high heats from your dryer or hot iron, using harsh shampoos and chemical processing which then creates damaged hair strands affectionately referred to as 'fly aways' or 'broken ends.' Or humidity. Ugh …
2.) People usually call you:
a. Frizzilla
b. Ms. Ms. Shock Waves
c. Smooth Operator
3.) How often do you heat-style your hair?
a. Almost twice a day to fry those 'fly aways'
b. Every second day
c. Three times a week
4.) It's raining, so you:
a. Quickly make a dash for your car
b. You wait for the rain to calm down a little then make a dash for your car
c. You pop on a designer shower cap from your designer bag, open up that Burberry umbrella, wait for the storm to subside and strut your stuff to the car while ignoring the stares. At least you will have fabulous hair for the rest of the day
5.) The right way to treat frizzy hair is:
a. By pumping up your hot iron to HELL HATH NO FURY level and showing that frizz who's the queen of straights
b. Applying a serum then heat-styling your hair
c. Using a reputable conditioner containing amino silicones and cationic surfactants. Comb your hair out slowly after applying a straightening serum then just smooth out your hair with a straightening iron set to a medium heat

You are Queen of the Frizz, in fact frizz is attracted to you the way those little bugs are attracted to bright lights at night. You're either using the wrong conditioner, combing or brushing your hair too abruptly or styling your hair at high temperatures too often. Or you live in Durban. Hair guru Frederic Fekkai also warns against processing your hair with highlights or harsh straightening systems which is a regular feature in the line-up of the usual suspects.
MOSTLY B's
You usually start off straight in the morning but somehow that frizz keeps coming back like some annoying ex-boyfriend who is about to be elected president of the Stalker's Club. Give your hair some time out from the hot-irons but when you feel you have to, opt for a professional thermal protector and apply a straightening serum.
MOSTLY C's
