Q: After multiple rebonding sessions, I decided to grow out my naturally curly hair but it is now frizzy and unmanageable. I am not keen on using too many hair products. What would you advise?

A: Instead of reverting to rebonding, you may want to consider a new-to-market hair treatment that is currently available exclusively at Casey Inc salon in Palais Renaissance.

Called the Brazilian blow dry or the keratin treatment, it is a process designed for folk like you who have issues with frizz. Celebrity fans include Nicole Ritchie.

Using man-made keratin (a protein that is found in hair and nails), the treatment helps to relax and repair hair, taming frizz in the process.

The effect is similar to rebonding for the first few days, in that the treatment results in super-straight hair.

Subsequently, however, your curls will bounce back in a sleeker and more manageable condition.

The effects of this treatment lasts for about three months and prices start from $200.

The products used are free of harmful agents such as formaldehyde and ammonia, commonly found in many hair-straightening and relaxing products.

This means you will not only save your hair from harsh chemicals but also trim valuable time off your grooming ritual as flat-ironing frizz away will become a thing of the past.
