Best Gel for Curly Hair: Physique Spiral Gel – this gel aligns irregular air spaces along strands of hair to enhance definition of your curls. It is ph-balanced and gentle on color-treated or permed hair. This keeps curls bouncy and defined all day long, and through those crazy nights at clubs!

Best Mousse: Helene Curtis ThermaSilk Volume Infusing Mousse – Forget everything you’ve ever known about mousses that spawned countless tacky 80s - style hair that stuck straight up out of your head like a fountain! ThermaSilk Volume Infusing Mousse is heat-activated (like whole ThermaSilk line) which conditions your hair while you blow-dry. I personally used entire line (shampoo, conditioner, volumizing spray, and mousse) for about three months last summer, and actually had to stop because my hair got so silky and smooth that I couldn’t do anything with it! Clips and pins would literally just fall out of my hair. That being said...

Best Volumizing Spray: Helene Curtis ThermaSilk Heat Activated Volume and Shine Spray – This formula is made up of two layers of formula that you have to shake to mix together before using. The bottom layer contains heat activated resins that pump up hair and provide volume, while top layer has silicone to add shine and swing. Real Simple Magazine recommends this spray after polling numerous hairstylists and testing it themselves.

Best Hair Spray: Umberto Giannini Glamour Clear Gloss Hairspray – this modern hairspray combines super hold with maximum flexibility; there is no flaking, even if you brush your hair after applying. I love scent, which for some reason smells like inside of Saks 5th Avenue to me. For some, it may be a little overpowering. At moment, this spray is only available at Rite Aid chain of drugstores.

My solution is to begin consciously practicing moving your body in ways that produce more freedom. Freedom feels good and causes us to open to ourselves. It will deepen connection between your body and mind. This creates a positive pleasurable mental association between your physicality and your body.

The more you reinforce this association will eventually deepen amount of balance, health and peace you have in your life.

I believe key to this situation is adding two elements to your exercise routine.

1)Practice Releasing The Day’s Tension Before You Exercise.

When your body is free to move your experiences of exercise becomes more fulfilling and personalized. Apply your creativity to your movements and exercises. How can you make exercise more enjoyable?

Here is a progression:

a.Starting with easy and slow movements with little to no weight or resistance, learn to enjoy freedom of just moving and flowing with your body. b.Pick movements that challenge your mind. There are so many toys in our modern gym that you can play with. Check them out and get some help if you are unsure. I.e. add core training to every exercise you do. c.Learn to express yourself through your body. Personal physical expression is a great way to relieve stress and open your body. As your body opens your ability to exercise with greater intensity builds. The more pleasure you receive more you will want to move and push your limits. Eventually, believe it or not “no pain, no gain” feels good!

2)Change Your Personal Definition Of Exercise.

I believe that exercise is a means to learn how to improve way you use your body. This improvement can be done through any activity that you like. In fact, I suggest finding an activity that you like and make that your major mode of exercise. Performing activities that you hate only increases amount of stress you are under. If you enjoy moving your body results you want will come quicker. Have major focus be on moment-to-moment process of exercise and begin to view results as “gravy”.
