Recently Avon sent me a few samples of products from their new hair care line, including a container of Advance Techniques Anti-Frizz Capsules. My hair has always been a bit wavy and prone to frizz at the first signs of humidity, and it only got worse when I started highlighting it. So I've always been on the lookout for products that can tame my frizz with a minimum amount of effort required on my behalf. I have yet to find the Holy Grail of de-frizz smoothing serums (currently I apply a dab of Pantene Pro V Restoratives Frizz Control Ultra Smoothing Balm onto damp hair, then blow-dry), but these Avon anti-frizz capsules are among some of the most effective products I've tried—I didn't say they were perfect, but they work on wet or dry hair, helping to smooth frizz and flyaways without making hair (or your hands) feel gross or smell stinky.
What I like most is that you can toss the container in your purse and break open one of the capsules when you're on the go. I used one in a restaurant bathroom after I saw myself in the mirror and gasped at my scare-crow mane. One capsule is enough for my fine hair but everyone's different so I'm not sure how well this product would work for other hair types. I also liked that the serum seemed to dissipate by the next day, meaning I didn't feel as though it weighed my hair down so much that I'd need to shampoo it again. When I run out of this container, I'm not sure I'll buy another because I'm always hoping to find something even better, but I'd definitely recommend these to a friend. Or a reader!
