Hi, I've got shoulder length, dyed, wavy hair, which tends to look flyaway, fuzzyish, IYSWIM. It looks great if I straighten it, but would like to keep the curlyness but with the smoothness that straighteners give. Would serum help? Am skint, so cheap advice pleeeease! Thanks x

I would suggest a gel that tames frizz but doesn't weigh down tour hair. I tend to use a spray gel that defines my curls, brush it through and then scrunch it with my hands and let it air dry. After that I don't brush it again until I wash it the next morning.

Your hair, not tour hair.

What happens when you just spray it with water or when you wash it and let it dry naturally? Does it look less fuzzy?

I use a serum on dd1 when her hair is frizzy and it does make it look healthier but it looks at its best if she washes it in the morning.

I don't have curly hair but it is wavy and frizzy, I find L'oreal mythic oil helps a lot, although the only thing that really works (together with the oil) is straightening Confused

Thank you, everyone. I will try the suggestions above. I always let my hair air dry, and thats when frizziness is worst! Looks better when its a bit dirty (lovely!)

Put Argan oil on your hair when it's wet after washing and scrunch it dry,embrace the waves! I use that pink curly girl stuff from Boots (Italian name, can't remember) to break it up a bit more if necessary

I wash and condition and then put on a leave in conditioner and foxy curls creme. then leave to dry naturally. don't brush at all until you next wash it. no frizz!!

Leave in conditioner works wonders.
I use that then run through with a bit of serum after drying. Don't brush if you can help it, just use fingers or a very wide toothed comb.

My hair is always at it's fluffiest when just washed. I use leave in conditioner and mouse/gel/styling cream to give the curls a bit of definition. I wet it and comb through with a wide tooth comb then put in products and leave to air dry. Mine's very curly though.

A friend of mine has really frizzy hair, especially when there is moisture in the air. The thing is, instead of using expensive serums, she uses a 10p-sized drop of fabric conditioner and smooths it over her hair. I initially thought that she was mad and I spoke to my hairdresser about it, but my hairdresser uses it as well and her hair looks lovely.

Fabric conditioner? Are you being serious? If so, I am going to try this tomorrow morning with Lenor.
