Frizz Free Curls

65% of people have curly hair and almost half of them do not realize it! Believe it or not, if you have frizz, you have curl pattern in your hair.

I know, frizz is a bummer. But to beat the frizzies, first you need to figure out what’s causing it. And that involves a bit of science… No chemistry set needed!

Here’s the deal: curls need moisture. People with curly or frizzy hair have an average of 100,000 hairs on their head. People with straight hair have about 120,000 hairs on their head. More hair means more hair follicles that produce natural oils to smooth down your hair. So, less hair can mean less moisture.

And then there’s a curl’s worst nightmare: humidity. If your hair is dry and has not been getting the proper moisture it will become thirsty and “drink” up the humidity outside.
So let’s talk about how to get that frizz under control…


Hands down, you have to use the right hair products like moisturizing shampoo and conditioners will benefit curly/frizzy hair because they do not contain harsh oil stripping detergents.

After you wash your hair, don’t wrap it in the towel turban. I know it might be a habit, but you need to leave the hair saturated to set the curl. Instead, spray a leave-in conditioner and finger through your hair.

Flip over your head over and generously apply a mist spray.
The best thing to do is let your hair air dry, but if you don’t have the time, use a diffuser to gently scrunch your curls dry. Once dry, flip your head upside down and use your hands to create volume by moving your fingers back and forth through out your scalp.

Only wash your hair every other day to allow the oils to smooth down your cuticle. On the non-washing days, use a scrunching spray to reactivate the products in the morning to refresh.
