Question: I only have five minutes to spend styling my hair in the morning. What are the best products to get a natural, wavy look?

Answer: For soft but controlled waves, the trick is to layer your frizz-fighting products from shampoo to styling cream. Try Garnier Wonder Waves Shampoo and Conditioner ($3.99 each), which contain a small amount of styling ingredients to make waves more manageable. When your hair is damp but not dripping, emulsify a curl cream, like Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer ($18) or Aveda Be Curly Curl Control ($18), between your palms and apply to your hair, concentrating on the ends. Do not comb or brush your hair, because it will break up the curls and cause frizz.
