Curls are beautiful if you know how to treat ‘em right. Here’s how to control frizzy curls.
There’s a simple way to make the most of those curls without them getting frizzy. We consulted with a teenaged curly girl and she gave us the rundown on what works after lots of different experimentation.
The first product you need is Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly Spray Gel or (here for a better price). Immediately after washing hair, brush well and spray into wet hair. Avoid the crown of the head and don’t overdo it. One layer of spray is enough. Tilt your head and scrunch your hair in an upward motion for 40-60 seconds or until evenly distributed. Allow to dry. Avoid running or excess movement while drying so the outermost layer doesn’t frizz up.
When you don’t want to, or can’t, wash your hair, but your curls are either frizzy or limp, you can use Deva Curl Mist-er Right Dream Curl Refresher. Spray all over your hair and tilt your head forward. Scrunch your hair upward. You can spray directly onto the scalp to rejuvenate all your hair.
Wait! Don’t Squeeze Lemon in Your Hair!
This is a great start. Here are some more ideas (from a mom who was in a similar predicament):
There are salons that give Deva Curl haircuts, they will give your daughter an appropriate hair cut and teach her which products to use and how. Google deva curl salon to find one near you.
They will recommend the deva products which are a bit pricey, but I found they last a while and were worth the money.
Also, my daughters stylist recommended just doing keratin on the baby hairs, if you want to leave her hair curly, this was amazing in the summer.
Two more things.
Only brush curly hair in the shower with a wide tooth comb. Do not brush otherwise. Also, cut up and old t shirt to use to pat her hair dry as opposed to regular towel drying.
Good luck!!
