Don’t Fight It: Pretty, Frizzy Hair

Ever notice there are a ton of words out there that make most of us cringe? Some of them are valid like “speeding ticket” (no silver lining there), but certain innocent words get a bad rap, too. Case in point:

Mondays: Are Mondays really inherently that bad? Labor day, MLK Jr. day, your birthday once every 7 years … a lot of good stuff happens on Mondays.

Brussels Sprouts: Have you ever tried roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon? Delish.

Frizzy Hair: Frizzy hair is typically considered undesirable, but some frizz can give your hair body and texture — both good things. It’s time to embrace the frizz.

As beauty editors, we’re always talking about how to combat frizzy hair. But recently, we’ve fallen in love with leaving a few frizzies untamed. (Who thought we’d ever say that?)

You may feel silly doing it, but it’s a quick way to get a touch of frizz.
