Q&A for How to Get Rid of Puffy Hair

You can wash your hair every two days, but aiming for washing it twice a week would be better. Washing it too often will strip your hair if its natural oils. Consider using a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo once a week to remove oil from your hair, or even do an apple cider vinegar rinse. To tame the puffiness, apply oil when your hair is dry, or a styling product such as mousse when your hair is wet.

All of the methods shown above do not get rid of your curls, but make it less poofy.

Use conditioners and moisturising products.
