Even if your climate is weather-stripping, your hair will be noticeably softer, smoother and shinier. turn winter woes into winter wows When styling your hair, says Guillory, apply a frizz-fighter like BioSilk® Silk Strate before blow drying. “It’s fine to use this on straight or curly hair,” she notes. “It contains a tiny bit of resin that prevents static-y frizz and helps ‘set’ your style.” Finally, try Guillory’s “secret weapon.” “Vigorously massage a little bit of CHI® Pliable Polish between your palms until it softens and liquefies, and work it through your dry hair,” she advises. “This weightless paste cuts down on static electricity, holds your style in place and offers dazzling shine.Then style with a CHI® Ceramic Hairstyling iron, or just go.” WOE: Misshapen hat hair WOW: Your skullie is indispensable for keeping you cozy at the bus stop, but it’s no friend of a curly or high-volume hair style. “On hat days, it’s easier to start out with a smooth style,” notes Guillory. “And it’s a good idea to carry a travel size moisturizing formula like Silk Infusion, plus a small, anti-static brush, like the CHI® Styling Brush with CHI® 44 ceramic nylon tips.” Before leaving home, use a body-building formula like CHI® Volume Booster to style your hair. Once you reach your destination, remove your cap, flip your head upside down, work a drop of the Silk Infusion through strands, flip back and smooth your hair with the brush. WOE: Fuzzy, out-of-control curls WOW: On a film set, a continuity supervisor makes sure that everything looks the same from the first day of shooting to the last. If only there was a continuity specialist for naturally curly hair—someone to ensure that curl shape stays consistent from roots to ends— especially in winter when coils are prone to softening and fuzzing. Guillory, who is known for her own gorgeous curly texture, has devised the following, curl-friendly winter regimen: Start in the shower with BioSilk® Hydrating Shampoo. Rinse, gently squeeze out excess moisture and then “shake your head like a dog to separate the curls.” Next, apply BioSilk® Smoothing Conditioner with vitamin B and humectants, wait five minutes and rinse with warm water. Shake again, grab a towel, flip your head over and gently blot, being careful not to press, rub or stretch your curls. Keep your head upside down, apply a mixture of BioSilk Silk Therapy® and BioSilk® Glazing Gel and gently squeeze the products into the hair, maintaining the shape of each curl. Stay upside down and with a diffuser attachment, blow dry until strands are moisture-free. “Once your hair is dry, you’re good,” laughs Guillory. “Believe me, this works!” n 38 Volume IV, Issue 14
