Curly and Frizzy Hair

A: Managing curly, frizzy hair - especially the "big hair" effect - often requires a combination of techniques, including the right haircut and proper styling products.
Now, let’s talk about frizz control. The right hair care routine is just as important as the cut. Start by using a moisturizing, protein-rich shampoo and conditioner designed for smoothing and taming frizz. Look for formulas labeled "smooth and sleek" or "frizz control." Since shampooing too often can strip your hair of natural oils (which can actually make frizz worse), only shampoo when your hair feels dirty or weighed down. However, you should condition your hair daily to keep it hydrated and manageable.
Here’s a helpful tip: On days when you don’t shampoo, you can use a rinse-out conditioner to gently cleanse your hair of light buildup. After conditioning, rinse with cool water. This helps seal the hair cuticle, reducing frizz. When drying, avoid rough towel-rubbing, which can rough up the hair shaft and create more frizz. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel or an old cotton T-shirt (they’re softer and less abrasive than regular towels). You can also wrap your hair in a loose turban while you finish your morning routine, letting the towel absorb moisture without causing friction.
Once your hair is towel-dried, apply a leave-in conditioner or detangling spray, followed by an anti-frizz serum or cream. Work the products through your hair with a wide-tooth comb to ensure even distribution. If you prefer blow-drying, use a diffuser attachment on a low heat setting to dry your hair about 80% of the way, then let the rest air-dry. This helps minimize frizz while keeping your curls defined.
By combining the right haircut with a solid hair care routine, you should see a noticeable difference in both volume and frizz.
