How to get curly hair without the frizz?

My hair is an absolute mess! My mom has straight hair, and my dad has curly hair, so my hair is in the middle just enough to make it a disaster. Its frizzy and poofy and all over the place. I spend a very long time in the morning straightening it. I would like to curl my hair. I like the look of scrunching it, but when I do, no matter what I use, the frizz is awful. I have tried anti-frizz creams but nothing works. Any suggestions?How to get curly hair without the frizz?
Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:


*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. A great tool for finding curly stylists in your area: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons


*Don't shampoo every day.


*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.


*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape. A leave in conditioner under gel is generally good.


*Avoid terrycloth towels on hair; use linen, paper towels, or t-shirts instead.


*Try plopping to decrease drying time: http://www.wikihow.com/Plop-Your-Hair


*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.


*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it鈥檚 drying.


*Once completely dry scrunch out any crunchy texture.





For hair type specific products check out these forums:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. I would recommend something, but I don鈥檛 know your hair type. :)





Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair.

1) DON'T STRAIGHTEN ALL THE TIME!!! The straightening damages the hair, creating split ends, which creates frizz. If you do straighten it, use a heat protector spray.





2) Do not get layers! Layers accentuate your waves, but frizz also.





Every day: smoothing cream: adds shine and tames frizz with a cream that contains silicone. Weather Works by Frizz- Ease Weather-Proofing Style Sealant Creme. u can get it at drug stores





Once A Week: Deep conditioner: hydrates hair. Paul Mitchell Super-Charged Moisturizer





AVOID WASHING AND BLOW DRYING HAIR EVERY DAY- MAKES IT VERY FRIZZY!!!


Hope I helped! =D
I have exactly the same situation, except I never really straighten my hair!


I bought this conditioner called 'Curl Around' or something, in the Frizz-Ease line by John Frieda.


I also bought the spray stuff that you use after/in the morning and then scrunch.


It gives my hair more of a defined curl and keeps it less frizzy!


Sometimes shorter pieces of my hair still frizz a little, but maybe that's be less of a problem if I bought the shampoo and serum?


Good luck!
I have curly hair too, and this is what i do every morning. I'm thinking it works pretty well, because I always get compliments on it :D





Take a shower, and then towel dry your hair just a bit so it's not soaking wet. Then put some product in it - my favorite is Garnier Fructis Playstyle Reshapeable Putty (see the link below). work it all through your hair, then scrunch it a little bit. Then, flip your head upside down and blowdry it until it's almost dry. Let it airdry the rest of the way (this helps prevent frizzing) and then put a little bit of Shine Serum on it (A VERY LITTLE BIT though, it can make your hair really greasy if you aren't careful) Also, keep a bottle of hand lotion with you throughout the day, and if your hair gets frizzy, then smooth a little of that on and you should be good to go :D





Hope I helped :)
same for me !


my mom has straight hair and my dad has really curly hair..but my hair just comes out realllllllly curly lol. when i scrunch my hair with moose, it isn't frizzy at all..make sure your putting in ALOT of moose and scrunching it. if you want try curling it with a curling iron and a some sprays of hair spray and the frizz should stay down[=
Have you tried putting some mineral oil. It can gives you beautiful curls.
