Hi!

Okay, quick question... I have shoulder length, thick, wavy black hair.  Whenever it's rainy or humid my hair frizzes out beyond control.  I mean, there's some days where I put gel in my hair, let it dry completely, then walk outside to have it puff up.  Sooooo I walk back inside, cover it w/ frizz ease serum (the expensive stuff), walk back out side and I'm back frizzier than ever.  So far I've tried everything possible (john frieda, herbal essences, you name it i used it).

One of my guests at work suggested to get it braided... thing is I'm Italian and have never had it styled that way before.  Has anyone here had braids before?  Any tips/suggestions?

Here's some dorky pics of me:
***note: my hair is still wet in these pics! LoL  I try to stay away from the camera when i'm in frizz ball mode***

Here's my version of the garden scarf, with semi sparkly yarns.  ^_^
