Bb.Straight Blow Dry by Bumble & Bumble
Introducing the Bb Straight Blow Dry*. A styling balm for hair just like mine, thick and frizzy. It is also suitable for those of you who fall into the curly, unmanageable, unruly and coarse category. I sure have a lot of hair, that always gets knotty and as soon as I walk outside it will start to go wavy and double in weight and size. The idea of this balm is to smooth and soften the hair so that it is left looking sleek and healthy, and the more often you use this in your hair routine, the more manageable your hair will become.
I rarely use a flat paddle brush to style my hair, and I rarely wear it straight. I prefer to use a round brush to quickly blast my hair off, and then I just leave it to do it’s own thing – a mix of straight and wavy sections. It holds no “style” and looks dull and lifeless unless I curl it. So, putting this product to the test, I was hoping to see a real difference. And a difference I did see.
I put a blob, sorry no other word for it, of this product into my hands and ran it through freshly washed, damp hair. I then used a flat paddle brush to blow dry sections of my hair straight. Now I have a lot of hair, but even so, this did not take me too long to do. I was impressed at just how smooth and straight my hair looked as I switched off the hair dryer. I have an awful lot of split ends at the moment as it is due a salon session, so for it to look this sleek ensures Straight Blow Dry gets the thumbs up from me.
Now, when you go to a salon to get your hair professional blow dryed, more often than not, this “style” stays put for a good three to four days. My hair for the last three days has indeed remained smooth and soft, without any frizz at all.
There are two other balms available in this collection of styling products, including the All Style Blow Dry which contains oil absorbing powders and the other is the Repair Blow Dry.
What are your Bumble and Bumble must haves?

I haven’t yet tried Bumble and Bumble 🙁 I do need something like this to put in my hair before blow drying- I use an oil/serum afterwards but it’s not quite enough to combat the thick frizz!! xx

Styling balms definitely help combat frizz, but using an oil on top will help too! xx

Annabel. You are too kind. I had to learn the art of blow drying, quickly, as my hair is like an afro without proper styling. So much of it, it needs to be tamed into place! xxx
