Managing frizz in curly hair can be a challenge, but here are some tips to help prevent it:
-
Use a sulfate-free shampoo: Sulfates can strip the natural oils from your hair, which can make it prone to frizz. Look for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to help maintain the natural oils in your hair. Find our favourites here.
-
Condition regularly: Conditioning your hair regularly can help keep it hydrated and prevent frizz. Use a deep conditioner once a week to provide extra moisture to your curls. Shop the 5 star deep conditioner here.
-
Avoid heat styling: Heat can be damaging to curly hair and make it more prone to frizz. Try to avoid using heat styling tools, or use them sparingly and always use a heat protectant. We recommend this heat protectant. It not only hydrates but also protects.
-
Use a microfiber towel: Traditional towels can rough up the hair cuticle and cause frizz. Use a microfiber towel or an old T-shirt to gently blot excess water from your hair after washing. Our FAVOURITE hair wrap is here. Or go a little bougie with this satin one.
-
Apply a leave-in conditioner or oil: After washing your hair, apply a leave-in conditioner or oil to help keep your curls hydrated and smooth. Look for products that contain natural oils like this one. Find our top leave in conditioners here
-
Sleep on a satin pillowcase: Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can cause friction and frizz. Try sleeping on a satin pillowcase or sleep cap instead, which is smoother and gentler on your hair. Lots of satin options here.
-
Don't touch your hair too much: Touching your hair too much can cause frizz by disrupting the curl pattern. Try to avoid touching your hair throughout the day, and use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle it instead of a brush. Find the best brush's & combs here.
