How would you de-frizz this girl's hair?

Now no one will be looking at her hair!

@limr, the most important is the context. If you're referring to some strangers, I agree calling them boy/girl is not a good way to go. However, if you know the person and you're among friends, it's perfectly fine. I know many people around 40-50 who often refer to themselves as boys and girls when they meet.

I agree with @Destin on this one, people are getting waaay oversensitive these days... This thread should be about dealing with hair in post-process, not one of those PC debates. Just because OP called the human female "a girl"...

Not everyone is like "oh I am an independent strong woman and you should refer to me as such you puny earthling!". Maybe she likes feeling a bit younger and OP knows her well.

@DGMPhotography , did you show her the picture yet? I'd probably ask her first and then schedule a re-shoot if she's not happy. Trying to solve things like this in post is usually not worth it and simple re-shoot would be better and faster.

Talk about reading into a comment. Where did I say that 'woman' should refer to a certain kind of woman? As for the 'oversensitive' charge...yeah yeah, heard it before, will hear it again, not particularly bothered to worry about what others think. I'm talking about precision in language. It's inaccurate to call someone past childhood either 'girl' or 'boy.'

As for the photo, what is it for? Why does it matter that her hair has a little frizz? Is she bothered by it? If she is, then reshoot, and perhaps consider a darker background since there may not be much she can do about the frizz. It's not just a matter of believing in conditioner or not. Someone could have perfectly smooth hair going out of the house, but if it's humid out, hair can take on a life of its own.

No one was talking about politics.

See my questions about the picture above.

As someone who’s hair gets that same frizz when it’s humid out, regardless of conditioner used, the best way to tame that pre-shoot is with some hair oil followed by some “play dirty” hair wax spray or some Frizz Ease Secret weapon cream. You may want to keep some on hand for next time. Also if you're shooting in a studio, make sure it’s nice and cool in there.

But how do I greet my sassy group of female friends?

But what about if your dating someone when you're in your 30's are they not still boyfriend/girlfriend?

You're whole argument is unraveling by the second!

Trapped in my own web of over-sensitivity!

Haha ninja edit on my part

Anyways my question is irrelevant as any woman who isn't married by the time she is 30 is just a harlot.

When did I say you said it? Maybe my English skills are severely lacking, but all I said is that it all depends on the context in which this happens and it's perfectly fine if both parties are comfortable with it.

not particularly bothered to worry about what others think

That's obviously why you're here, explaining yourself and expressing your opinions on a public forum. Because you just don't care

Anyway, talking about grammar and correctness reminded me of an old video

And just like that you learned something extra.

I think you were on track with the liquify. Do some cloning to finish it off.

 

[Cody'sCaptures]

Anyways, 5-10 mins post production; Quick mask, patch/healbrush, then liquify hair bumps... Went ahead dodged/burned and hue/saturation some spots...Sharpened and vibrance on eyes.. then clone stamped and painted eyebrows. Just learned how to set up actions and wow they are a crazy time saver!!
Could it be better or less touched? Absolutely, although it was a jpeg pulled from a forum and everybody's taste is different.

Could be a static electricity that causes the frizzed?

Doubtful. If it were static electricity, the hair would be straight and sticking out farther from her head. That kind of frizz is generally due to the quality of the hair and the level of humidity.
