Battle of the hair titans - Frizz no more

After many weeks of procrastinating I finally took the plunge and waged the two monsters of frizz control against each other....

Living Proof No Frizz Styling Cream £19

vs

Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious Holding Foam £21.50 and Defrizz £20

(All available at Space NK http://www.spacenk.co.uk/category/haircare.do?nType=1)

No Frizz
  • I was a little terrified after reading other reviews about mixing this product with anything - apparently the scent goes a little haywire - so just washed my hair as normal and applied while it was still damp.
  • I didn't use a huge amount of product - enough to finely coat my hair - a little went quite a long way.
  • On drying not much frizz appeared and all seemed to be going well until my hair was fully dry and I could see the precise patches (apparently lacking product) which formed unruly frizzy masses at discreet intervals all over my head.
  • My hair looked a bit better after some wetting down but had an overall lacklustre appearance. 
  • Overall rating 6.5/10
Bumble and Bumble Combo
  • I applied the foam first and then the serum to wet hair.
  • Even with an enormous mane of hair I only needed to use a small amount of both products. 
  • My hair dried into defined curls looking shiny, with minimal frizz and a gorgeous scent. 
  • I left my hair for two days after washing and the curls kept their shape. The tiny bit of frizz that formed in the mornings was quickly sorted out by applying a tiny bit of extra serum.
  • Overall rating 8.5/10 - Bumble and Bumble curl products rock and this rating would be higher if not for the price.
