I just have to dash off a quick post about a new hair product I discovered. Well, it’s not exactly new. It’s been around a
long time, but it’s new to me. A Sally Beauty Supply store just opened up in my town; thus, there is a whole new world of products for me to try. I think Sally Beauty is likely to become my one-stop shop for hair products. They seem to have really good quality products and exceptional prices.
The product I’m talking about is Proclaim Glossing Polish. It doesn’t look like much when you see it on the shelf. It comes in a clear plastic bottle with a black cap and a pretty generic looking label, but this stuff is anything but generic! I am in love. I work a few drops of this stuff into my hair when it’s damp and I’ve gotten some pretty remarkable results. Unlike other serums which are pretty much pure silicone, this one combines silicone with natural oils. I find my hair actually absorbs this stuff, so it actually conditions the hair over time, rather than simply acting as a temporary band-aid for frizz. When my hair dries, I’m left with soft shiny curls and a lot less frizz. I still get a few fly-aways, but I can live with that.
For reference, I have naturally curly hair that can be difficult to manage. The bottom layers are smooth, soft and wavy, but the upper layers tend to be coarse and frizzy. When I was younger, I used to constantly wrangle it with flat irons and I’ve tried about a million and one different gels, serums, control creams, shine sprays, leave-ins….the list goes on. You name it, and I’ve probably smeared it on my head with the vain hope that it would give me soft, shiny, well-defined curls with no frizz! Now I can stop wasting my time and money on all that garbage. All I need is my Proclaim Glossing Polish and I’m good to go! Woo hoo!
