Fight the Frizz!
EL Singapore|May 2022
It's a never-ending battle with humidity when you live in a tropical country like Singapore. That's why we looked to these six salons to help us rescue our frizzy tresses and transform them into lustrous locks!
Fight the Frizz!

Hairdreams Couture Salon

"I’ve had hair extensions from Hair & Soul before and loved them – they somehow tamed my frizzy hair by having strands of naturally straight hair interspersed amongst my fine, fluffy locks. I wasn’t great at maintaining them, though, so after a while I went back to trying to smooth my existing hair. I didn’t want super straight, flat hair, but also, with too much “body”, my hair looks scruffy and has a lot of flyaways.

The Hot Pack treatment at Hairdreams Couture Salon at Cuppage Plaza isn’t permanent, but it is a deep-conditioning treatment – safe for those with hair extensions to use and anyone else who wants smoother, healthier hair as well. My hair was washed then lathered with a treatment made by mixing two HairDreams products together – a serum for healing dry ends, and a deep regenerative conditioner. Hot, wet towels were wrapped around my head and I lay there, almost dozing, for 15 to 20 minutes.

Just as the towels were starting to cool off, they were removed, and my hair was rinsed, then blow-dried to smooth perfection. My hair (normally oily at the roots by day three) lasted a straight (pun intended) five days before needing a wash. If I have a busy work or social week, this would be a great way to minimise daily hair taming."
