Everything is bigger in Texas

Good morning and happy Tuesday!

At this time next week, the Krysh familia will be landing in Texas for vaca. And guess what?
 That is including our little Rockdizzle as well. We've decided to bring him with us for our trip and it will be his first time flying! Our little baby is growing up. We've already purchased a little pet carrier for the plane and that calming spray I hear great things about in case he gets a little nervous. You can never be too prepared...which leads me to the topic of today's post.

Supposedly, they say (whoever 'they' is) that everything is bigger in Texas.

I'm still not 100% sure what that means exactly, but I won't question it until I've actually been and see for myself (I will tell you the truth, guys. You know how those Texas bloggers are-"Texas is THE best state ever"..yeah, yeah, I'll be the judge of that). 

I know do one thing that is definitely going to be bigger in Texas....my hair.

 The one and only time I've been to Texas was when I went with my parents to San Antonio in the summer (probably around this time) and I was about 14 or 15 years old. I was still in denial that I couldn't naturally be a supermodel, so I still didn't use a hair straightener at this point in my life. To say my hair looked like a giant rats nest is a complete understatement. 

For heavens sake! I looked like the lead singer in LMFAO. 

I wish I had some picture evidence of this, but I really didn't want you guys to be jealous of how good looking I was back then (since soccer t-shirts, cutting my own bangs, and glass lenses the size of a baseball was the definition of good looking.)

Maybe my hair has calmed down since then (let's all say a mini prayer together that it has), but I don't want to take my chances. Some of you may think I'm crazy for worrying about my hair so much, but when you have a weather forecast that looks like THIS and 2 girlfriends (ahem, Steph and Kristen) that are friggin papparazzi's and barely allow you to go to the bathroom without snapping a pic (oh wait, that's happened), my hair NEEDS to not be a complete and utter disaster. I can only resort to pony tails in so many pics.

Enter Texas hair prep products.

Thanks to the Bargain Blonde (Texas native herself-gotta love her) and Raven for suggesting some of these products, I'm hoping they will help control my hair from the insane Texas heat and humidity. I've heard great things about all of these products, especially for controlling frizz in the summertime. 
John Frieda and Dove better not let me down.

1. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum (thermal protection formula):

-Can be used on wet or dry hair

-Instantly shields all hair typesagainst the damaging effects of heat-styling UV exposure that lead to frizz.

2. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Shampoo and Conditioner:

-Starts blocking frizz in the shower (yes, please) 

-Hydrates to replenish vital moisture

-Leaves hair silky, shiny, manageable (and safe on color treated hair)
3. Dove Nourishing Oil Care:
-transforms dry, rough, frizzy hair into smooth hair that's easier to manage and style
-acts as a gentle leave-in conditioning spray that won't weigh hair down
-enriched with Argan oils to help detangle as it replenishes for soft hair

In addition, I've actually been using Suave's Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner  (Keratin Infusion, found at Walmart or similar stores) for over a month now and it is seriously one of my favorites. It leaves my hair so smooth and I can definitely notice that my hair has a lot less frizz and is more manageable when I go to style it. It's so inexpensive, too, so if you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend it!


If you see my hair on Instagram (follow me here: @katiewkrysh) or Twitter looking like a hot mess, then you know this plan failed. Hey, at least I can say I tried.

Have any of you tried any of these products? 

How do you keep your hair frizz free?
