Fix Dry Frizzy Hair
A: Well, the first step to curing frizzy hair is to make sure it's well-moisturized. I would suggest starting with a shampoo with a "smooth and sleek" formulation and its accompanying conditioner.
When towel-drying the hair, always be sure to use the "pat and squeeze method" on your hair, by patting the scalp with a clean, dry towel and squeezing the lengths of the hair in order to blot away excess moisture. Never, under any circumstances, should you "rub" the hair with a towel. Doing so only roughs up the cuticle, increasing the amount of frizz and causing tangles and snarls in the hair.
Once the hair is toweled-dry, use a spray-on, leave-in conditioner/detangler and your wide tooth comb to comb out the damp hair carefully. Dry the hair naturally whenever possible, and always use a diffuser attachment on your blow-dryer when you must dry the hair more quickly. Aim the airflow of the dryer in the direction of the hair growth (i.e. away from the scalp), to keep from roughing up the cuticle and making the hair frizzier.
At least once a week, give yourself a deep-conditioning treatment, by applying your favorite conditioner, covering the hair with a plastic cap and wrapping the head in a hot towel (from the clothes dryer) for 20 minutes. Rinse the conditioner from the hair with cool water.
Following these steps should help to reduce the frizz in your hair. However, if you still have problems with frizz, you may consider using a hair straightener kit (NOT hair relaxer), many brands of which are available at beauty supply stores or online. Select from the types that offer results lasting 6-12 weeks.
These products can do wonders with truly difficult hair and can give you long-lasting results when used properly. Just be sure to read the product labels before you buy to make sure they are suited to your hair.
