Frizzy Hair

Hair in Hong Kong can be tricky.  It's often humid and often hot yet it's freezing in restaurants and cinemas.  What's a girl to do?  I'm stuck with lots of fine hair and more than a few grays.  I find it is either flat or crazy frizzy.  If I load it with serum it has no body but if I do with out....well its a frizzy nightmare.

I recently tried a Brazilian Blowout and must say it has worked wonders.  The frizz is gone, except for new grays which seem to appear daily ...grrr. It is a bit flatter but I can work some body into it with styling products.  The major drag is that it wears off SO quickly and I worry about whether it damages my hair (even though they "claim" it is conditioning I can't help but be skeptical).

What do you do for the frizzies?

Online Shopping in Hong Kong

I've thought about writing a blog for a long time.  Having lived in Hong Kong for over 10 years I can't help but think how great life is here.  Sure it sucks sometimes:  pollution, aggressive driving, hubby always away etc.  However, life is never boring so I hope you enjoy my blog.

As an xpat in Hong Kong I'm always on the hunt for etailers who will ship to here at a reasonable cost.  While I love shopping here, there are so many things we can't get here.  So far I've found the following retailers to provide low cost shipping and great service:

lands end
llbean
tennis warehouse
makeupartists choice
shopbop
netaporter

Living here we don't get the options like we do in the US...sigh... but it is getting better year by year.

HK girls - do you have any good on line shopping recs?
