Oh, frizz! The curly-haired struggle is real, isn’t it? If you’ve got curls, you’ve probably found yourself asking, “Why is my hair frizzy?” or “How do I tame this frizz-fest?” Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! Many curlies are on a lifelong quest to ‘banish’ frizz, but here’s a little secret: frizz is part of the curly magic, and it’s time to embrace it! 🎉
Sure, we all want a bit of that functional frizz for a fab volume boost, but when your curls go full-on fluff mode, it can be a tad frustrating. But fear not, lovelies! With the right routine and products, you can manage frizz without losing the natural beauty of your curls.
Let’s dive into what’s causing that frizz, how to care for your curls, and the best products to keep your curly locks looking their best!
Why is My Hair Frizzy?
The Weather: Let’s be real, the Aussie weather can really mess with our curls! One minute, your hair’s on point, the next, rain or humidity has turned it into a frizzy cloud. Moisture in the air causes hair cuticles to swell, creating the ultimate frizz-fest.
Lack of Moisture: Dry curls = frizzy curls! When your hair’s thirsty, it will suck moisture from the air, and this is where the dreaded frizz comes in. To stop this, focus on hydration with moisturising shampoos, conditioners, and treatments.
Product Build-Up: Even the best products can backfire if there’s too much build-up. This can come from using heavy oils, co-washing, or even pollution and hard water! A good clarifying wash every now and then will help keep your curls fresh and bouncy.
Protein Deficiency: Yep, too much moisture can be a thing! When your hair is over-hydrated, it can turn into soft, mushy frizz. Balancing protein and moisture is key to keeping curls defined.
Protein Overload: On the flip side, too much protein can make hair stiff and frizzy. Listen to your curls – they’ll tell you what they need!

For added hold and frizz control, try our Curl Defining Gel. Its lightweight, non-sticky formula keeps curls in place all day without the dreaded crunch. - Dry Naturally (and Gently!)
