The majority of people have curly hair, but don’t know it. If you have frizz, you likely have curly hair. Curls need to be treated right in order for them to come through. Mistreated curls are often times mistaken as simply just frizz.
If you want your frizz to change into curls, nourish them with the correct, moisturising products.
Curly hair strands cluster together and wind around themselves in a spiral or looser curl shape. This texture needs plenty of moisture to help with a defined pattern. Curls can either form shapes of: Z, tight S or C.
Wavy hair is when strands curve or form a looser “S” shape. Waves can differ greatly in shape and it is common for wavy girls to experience several different textures in their hair.
Due to their spiraled shape, it’s harder for the natural oils to be produced from your scalp to travel down and coat the strands, which is why they can get so frizzy.
Curl shafts are naturally jagged and dry out much quicker, also causing frizz.
To reduce frizz: keep your curls moisturised, don’t brush curls dry, wear a bonnet at night and refresh your curls each morning.
The basis of the Curly Girl Method (CGM) is to reduce or cut-out shampoo, heat, sulfates and silicones. The Curly Girl Method provides great guidelines for curly hair, but curls can also thrive simply by using natural products formulated for curls.
