To ask what you use to de-frizz top layer frizz on curly hair?

[Portobellomushroom]

My curly hair, once luscious, has now turned into a dry fest.

The curls are fine, but I get far more frizz on top.

Any thoughts on best oils etc to use BETWEEN shampooing and conditioning?

Comb coconut oil through night before-sleep in it & just shampoo out in morning! I’ve tried loads of potions / oils / expensive shampoos but this is the best & probably the cheapest thing I’ve tried!

I believe we have a style and beauty topic for this

Look into the curly girl method.

I second using coconut oil, leave it in over night and then wash out.

Also use the ' no poo' method, ditch the shampoo and just use conditioner.

But isn't there anything you can use without having to wash it again? Everything I try leaves my hair sticky and full of ... stuff.

Living proof products work well.

JohnFrieda stuff in the purple tube. Fab stuff. No residue, no heaviness, turns your holly bush in to smooth clouds

Google “curly girl”

Someone on here last week said silicone-free personal lubricant.

And yes to Curly Girl.

Thanks Romeo

There seem to be quite a few JF stuff in purple tubes - is it the Frizz-Ease Secret Agent Touch Up Crème?

There’s a pink thing from boots - I forget the bloody name but it’s amazing for curly hair.

The curls are fine, but I get far more frizz on top.

Frizz is basically curly hair why has escaped from the rest of the curl. Oils won't necessarily help.

What do you do when you sleep? I get bad frizz on top from pillow friction if I just sleep with it down. A satin cap or pillow might help, or 'pineappling' it.

You could also try re-wetting your hair in between washes to reactivate the curls. Water with a little bit of conditioner mixed in a good misting spray bottle might work for you.

I use soap free shower bars or shower oil to wash my hair.

Silk pillows do make a difference imo. And putting my hair in wraps (which I don't really do anymore... Because I'm lazy. But I do braid my hair every evening.)

I also use a heavy (silicone free) conditioner. And a leave in conditioner / spray.

You need to co wash op

I use Moroccan oil and then let it dry naturally.

Water based lube is worth a try! Rub some between your hands and run over the frizzes or apply before styling as a 'primer' of sorts.

thanks all

Palmers coconut cleansing conditioner, ditch the shampoo. I’ve been doing it for about 3 months now, my fuzz halo has calmed down a lot.

I use Cantu 'curl activator cream' after washing (when still damp). I use a LOT and the curls are perfect for 2 days, then I use a spray bottle with a squeeze of the Cantu cream or conditioner and top up with water - spritz all over hair, especially frizzy bits. It means I only have to wash every 4 days because the curls last so much longer/less frizz!

There are several curly girl groups on Facebook which are great for advice.’ Curly girls uk- inspired by the curly girl method’ is a great one.

As others have said the curly girl method and put your hair up in a high pony tail at night. Helps reduce fizz.

with decades of curly hair that went frizzy at least provocation, I cant see any of that working. wet it every day to get curl from frizz for a few hours.

thank goodness for loreal xtenso and wella straight. goodbye ghastly ageing fuzz, hello comb and comfort.

I wash my hair first when I get in the shower, then I put conditioner (straightening one from Herbal Essences when I can get it) and leave it in as I do my face, body, etc, then wash it out with cold water. Then I get some Moroccan oil and work it through, a little more on the bits that get frizzy, brush it through while still really wet and let it air dry.

When leaving coconut oil in overnight do you melt it and apply to wet or dry hair? Thanks x
