How To Get Rid Of Frizz In Curly Hair

Frizzy, curly hair is a problem faced by women everywhere, especially in tropical, humid climates. Taming unruly hair requires patience and good hair-care products. Calming what may seem like an uncontrollable mane takes just a little effort.

Step 1

Visit the salon for professional hair cuts at least every 6 to 8 weeks. Split ends and damage will be only more noticeable in frizzy hair. Ask the stylist to use thinning shears when cutting your hair. This is essential if you have thick hair, as it will make your mane easier to manage and take less time to style.

Step 2

Wrap the towel around your head after you wash it and let it soak up all of the extra water. Do not rub your hair, as this will exacerbate the frizz.

Step 3

Separate your hair into four sections and apply a mousse or a product made especially for frizzy hair. Coat the shaft of the hair, starting at the root and working your hair down to the end. Then, comb through with a wide-tooth comb. Avoid brushing your hair and using hot hair dryers. If you must use a hair dryer because you are low on time, keep it on the lowest temperature setting.

Step 4

Use a deep-conditioning treatment once a week. This can be done in a salon, but you can also find products at your local drug or grocery store. Look for products that are to be left in for 10 to 15 minutes. When deep conditioning, wet your hair, apply the product, and then wrap a hot towel around it. The hot towel will allow for a stronger penetration of the product into the hair.

Tips and Warnings

Look for products containing pro-vitamins. They will help rebuild and restructure the hair. Serums work wonders on frizz. Wash your hair at night. This will help keep you from being rushed in the morning so you won't skip any of the necessary steps. Warm a towel in the dryer for 10 to 20 minutes to wrap your head with when using a deep-conditioning treatment.
Avoid heat-styling products whenever possible. The heat creates more frizz.
