How do you dry wavy/curly hair?

I have thick, coarse curly hair that tends to get frizzy. I tend to wash it and let it dry naturally. Sometimes it looks ok but usually I end up with a frizzy mess. I'd love nice curls but don't know how to achieve that myself.

A diffuser, mine looks a bit shit if I just leave it to air dry.

I added some curly mousse and some hair oil and let it dry naturally.

It looks awesome this week.

Have a look at Trepadora hair products and buy some for your curl type. I use a small amount of product and air dry, with much more defined curls and waves. Diffusing is also good to add volume or if you hair takes a while to dry

Defuser. I use Tigi Catwalk products and mine rarely goes frizzy.

Naturally. Towel it a bit, then go and eat breakfast. Then put a bit of smoothing cream on. By the time I get to work it's dry and un-frizzed.

I have wavy hair and let it dryer naturally. Takes a couple of hours

Mine's wavy like a Bee Gee and if I diffuse it, it looks fab. Left to it's own devices it's a load of nonsense and looks like cotton wool.

Curly Girl method.

Have a look at the curly girl method. There are a couple of groups on facebook that you can follow that give you all of the information. I've been using the method for a couple of months now & my curls are in such better condition and much curlier too. I bought a gamma diffuser this week & it's so much better than the one that came with my hairdryer, it's worth every penny.
