Best product for making frizzy hair a bit curly?

11 replies

Teatimeted · 19/04/2019 19:29

I have naturally curly hair which I straighten. However, during summer any hint of humidity and my hair explodes - think Monica in that episode of Friends.

If I let my hair dry naturally, the underneath curls beautifully but the top frizzes slightly. I've used a Schwarzkopf product and John Frieda beach curls but that makes it quite crunchy.

Any recommendations for taming a natural curl (not using the curly girl method)??

I have very curly ringlet hair and to avoids frizz on top use a leave in conditioner (body shop) or a curl cream gives a non crunchy effect - I use twisted sister brand

Keratin treatment of you can afford it. If not then Tresemme’s Keratin products will work as a temp fix but still not perfect if it’s humid.

Depends on how curly your hair is,I've got mine down to a fine art:
So plenty of conditioner, rinse off but not for ages, if I can find then dry it with a curly towel (they are made of t shirt like material so a t shirt will do)
Then add some conditioner (I just use my normal one rather than one bought specially) I use this gelwww.superdrug.com/ECO-STYLER/ECO-Styler-Moroccan-Argan-Oil-Styling-Gel-473ml/p/771776?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4-XlBRDuARIsAK96p3CY1iMz86d9HGO6a3DpYDOdTIDZIkafLkSRR76KgXrcFPMcaKrHHToaAkj0EALw_wcB
I scrunch my hair whilst putting it in, it dries stiff but if you scrunch it then it gets rid of it.

For my less curly daughter mousse or cream is better as it doesn't weigh down her curls.

Follow the curly girl method on Facebook. It recommends all products that are free of nasties that cause curly hair issues. You'll be suprised at what is sold as being for curly hair but is actually awful for it!
Buy a cowash and a nice serum or jelly for after and don't look back!
It may take a few weeks as there will be damage from straightening but if lovely curls are under there they just need some tlc! Good luck!

That huge pink.pot of curl creme from Boots.

I'm not sure if it makes frizzy hair curly but frizz dismiss by redken is good for taming down frizz, but it is quite expensive. I found the shampoo alone was enough. Usually I just use one or the other. I use various shampoos and conditioners, depending on how I feel hair is on wash day. My hair is naturally straight but when I had a perm I found that tub of pink curl creme from boots good.

I find using Aveda Be Curly co-wash and conditioner has tamed my frizz. No shampoo.

I like this product and it has no nasties.

I have to say the best product I've found to date is Osmo Blinding Shine serum (brilliant name, dread to think what might be in the magic) - it's about £6-9 depending where you shop, but two dollops of that and my hair goes from fine and frazzled to sleek, soft, and manageable. They do a shampoo and conditioner too, but I get really bad dandruff to tend to not use that. Curlygirl is good, but it's still a bit hit and miss with finding the right products. Superdrug have a deal on for curly hair products at the mo, I think (but they don't do Osmo).
