  • Question
    What can I use if my hair is mainly frizzy and not curly?
    Isabel Lourie
    Community Answer
    Condition it DEEPLY and make sure not to rinse it all out, or add in some leave-in conditioner. Dry by scrunching with a t-shirt or micro fiber towel. Don't dry with a normal towel! Also, make sure you don't brush it. Detangle with your fingers in the shower, but try to leave it at that. Brushing produces frizz.
  • Question
    Can I use the same method for my wavy hair?
    Community Answer
    Yes. I also have wavy hair and all the products mentioned here help a lot.
  • Question
    If I am going to braid my hair before bed, should I braid it loose or tight?
    Community Answer
    That depends on what texture you want. The tighter you braid it, the kinkier it gets. Just make sure not to braid super-tight. If you're only braiding it to protect it and not for a specific look, then a moderately loose braid (just enough to hold together well and not fall apart) is best.
  • Question
    I don't blow dry my hair, and I have tried many different products to combat frizz, but none have worked. Can you give me any tips?
    Community Answer
    Make sure you're using a conditioner that helps add moisture to your hair, like Three Minute Miracle by Aussie. Next, after you get out of the shower, dry your hair with a 100% cotton t-shirt. If you choose to use a towel, make sure you don't rub your hair in the towel. Finally, apply some coconut butter and a leave-in conditioner.
  • Question
    Why do my curls show less when my hair grows out?
    Community Answer
    The longer your hair is, the heavier it is, so it's probably just getting weighed down and stretching out your curls.
  • Question
    My hair is dry and wavy. How do I make it straight and soft?
    Community Answer
    If you were born with curvy hair, then you can't make it look straight forever. Use a straightener once in a while, but don't overdo it, as the heat will just dry up your hair.
  • Question
    My hair is really thick and curly. I thought of cutting it, but I want long hair, just not as thick. What can I do?
    Isabel Lourie
    Community Answer
    Thick hair is really envied by many other people! Learn to embrace it. Also, let your hair grow long. The longer it is, the heavier. Your hair will be weighed down and will seem less thick. Make sure to trim the ends to keep it healthy and promote hair growth.
  • Question
    Which shampoo is the best for curly hair?
    Community Answer
    Choose a shampoo with natural oils and ingredients, such as coconut oil. Avoid using shampoo with silicones and sulfates, as this can lead to dry hair. Lastly, consider searching for a shampoo that is labeled for curly hair; they tend to be more moisturizing and nourishing than other types of shampoo.
  • Question
    Do these tips apply to natural (4B/4C) hair?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but for type 4 hair, don't use oil because your hair gets super oily as is. Use a leave-in conditioner after the shower as well as a holding gel for the best look.

    I have frizzy dry hair, how long will it take for my hair to be healthy looking if I follow this?

    Will my curls develop more as I get older?

    Yes, as you age the amount of oil in your hair lessens and your hair gets curlier, and sometimes, frizzier. The reason this happens as you age is due to the change in hormones that accompanies age.

    Don't brush your hair dry with a normal hairbrush. This leads to breakage and will make it look frizzy and poofy. Try Brushing your fingers through your hair when in the shower or use a wide toothed comb.
