Did you ever think you’d get this close to my roots…?
Or my forehead?
I kid, I kid! No, you really don’t need to be all up in my cowlick, and you really don’t need to be all up in it now that my roots are starting to peek through, OMG. When the heck is my next hair appointment!?

Anyway, there’s an unruly grotto of hair at my hairline with strands that jut and shoot out at odd angles, and I normally have to coax them into place with a dab of flexible hair paste and hairspray.
That normally does the trick, but when it doesn’t… say hey there to these OUAI Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets.

1. It’s pronounced “way.”
2. These smell like Pottery Barn.
SERIOUSLY. You know that smell that right away invades your space when you walk into a Pottery Barn store? Well, these sheets smell exactly like that — like expensive white pillar candles with notes of magnolia, wax and overstuffed, over-sized down chairs.
Mind you, I like it. It’s just very strong, and it lingers a while.
3. Tear, tame, then toss.
These individually packaged sheets, which come 15 to a box for $18, are soaked with hair-smoothing oil. You just tear one open to get to the sheet, which feels like an oil-coated piece of wax paper, then smooth the sheet on your hair wherever you need to de-frizz.
For some reason, these remind me of those wet wipes you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken…
Ingredients:
Isopropyl Isostearate, Polysorbate 20, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil, fragrance (Parfum), Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Panthenyl PEG-7 Dimethicone Phosphate Chloride, Benzyl Salicylate, Hexyl Cinnamal
4. They’re better for touch-ups than they are for primary frizz control.
As you can probably see from my cowlick pics, one sheet corrals a lot of of the renegade hairs, but a few stragglers get away. It doesn’t catch every fly-away, and a few fly-aways are fine with me, but I still wouldn’t 100% rely on these sheets for intense de-frizzing.
I think these are terrific as convenient once-in-a-while things, but they’re $1.20 each. That seems kind of expensive for a single use, doesn’t it? Like, sure, I’ll put one in my makeup bag for when I have an crucial meeting at HomeGoods, and I want a last-minute tszuj to look my best, but if all I’m doing is heading to baby story time, I don’t think I’d use one of these.
5. If you’re using a momentary root spray, enjoy out!

FYI, if you use any sort of root cover-up spray or pencil, you’ll want to use a sheet before — not after — you spray your roots, because the sheet will lift away any momentary color (which is, *ahem*, why you can see so lots of a lot more white hairs in the above “after” pic).
Still some minor cowlick action…
Your friendly neighborhood appeal addict,
