    Use a diffuser with a concave cup to cradle your curls during diffusing. After applying a styling product on wet curls, gently dry them with a diffuser on low-medium heat, hovering your curls for five to ten minutes. Then, cradle the curls into the diffuser cup in an up-and-down motion until dry. This technique should encourage the curls and maintain the look. Using a diffuser the wrong way can encourage frizz.

    Try olive oil massages or apple cider vinegar washes. Massage your scalp with some olive oil and shampoo your hair the next day. You can also mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 8 ounces of water. Rinse your hair with this solution.

    How do I keep my hair wet so it stays thin?
    Community Answer
    My hairdresser gave me a tip. Buy one of those cheap water spray bottles, the kind that are used to spray houseplant leaves, mix a solution of your favorite conditioner with water (I put two parts conditioner to three parts water) shake it to mix so it turns milky white, then spray it on the lengths of your dry hair, cupping the hair in your hand and lifting. No need to soak it completely, but this gives the hair a wet-looking curl, and as it dries, the conditioner helps tone down the frizz. Keep the spray bottle mix handy so you can refresh your look throughout the day.

    Try using mousse or gel in your hair, scrunch it, then let it dry. It will also help tame frizz.
