Textured hair dries out much faster than straight hair. This is why many curl hair products emphasise hydrating ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil and coconut oil.
Contributing factors
Climate and routine play parts in both the amount of frizz you’ll get and where you’ll get it (i.e. roots, ends). Check out my article on handling humidity for more info on climate.
Dryness
Dry hair is the main reason for frizz.
Dry hair = frizz
Frizz = less definition
Achieving more definition, less frizz
Tackle dryness by ensuring your hair is well moisturised.
Moisturised hair = more definition.
You can moisturise your hair by using:
- leave in conditioners
- weekly deep conditioners
- refresh products
- hydrating shampoos
- silk bonnets to sleep at night
Embracing frizz
Although frizz can get annoying, it’s always best to keep a positive attitude toward it. Take care of your hair with the goal to obtain a healthy state and the definition you want will follow.
