I have this friend and she has wavy, curly, frizzish hair. That's the only way I can think to describe it.
It looks absoluely beautiful right after it's brushed but it takes all of like 5 minutes for it to get messy again even if she just sits there.
Also, she has tried straightening it but it didn't work. It just got messy again.
Help please
Frizzy/curly hair?
As someone else that has frizzy curly very unruly hair, I suggest using a detanglor when she brushes out her hair. I can also be sitting, and doing nothing and my hair will knot back up. I usually use detanglor and some type of Frizz ease serum, or shine laminator. Her hair could possibly be very dry. Make sure the shampoo she uses doesn't have alot of alchohal in it. Pantene, and Aussie do so those are no-no's. Hope I helped.
Frizzy/curly hair?
You left the question really really vague.
What has she done to her hair? Perm? Color? Hair Dryer?
Does she have split ends? Does she condition? Does she use any styling product(s)?
These are things one needs to know before answering.
Frizzy/curly hair?
I think she should try to work with her curl. She also need a serum for frizz control. I would try this style. They are called kinky twist. After a good wash and conditioner, add the anti-frizz serum. (You may have to help her with this.) You part the hair in small sections, add a good mousse or holding gel. That has a soft hold. Then plait the two pieces of hair. Once you have finished her whole head, allow the hair to dry. A blow dryer would help speed up the process. Once it has dried untwist the plaits. She should be left with more controlled curly strand. This style works well for any race that has curly hair. It much better than the bushy look.

I think a silicone-based frizz control serum would work well. Silicone coats the hair shaft, preventing frizziness from occuring. I recommend Simply Stylin Silk which is made of pure silicone. Most silicones contain alcohol or other fillers, and this other stuff lessens the effect you want from the silicone. Simply Stylin is pure silicone with a great fragrance, and it's good on all hair types. Plus, it adds a great shine and softness to the hair. I use it on all my clients, and they love the results. It's a new line and not easy to find in stores, so if your local Sally's doesn't have it look for their website.
Frizzy/curly hair?
- Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life!
- To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel, a leave in cream, and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blowdryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a microfiber hair turban (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).
-The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygenic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sodium laureth sulfate or anything close to that). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.
- Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone are examples). Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.
- Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it wil disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is evenly distributed everywhere in your hair. If you use too much you can always scrunch out the crunchy texture later.
- Use paper towels or an old t-shirt to gently scrunch some of the water out (generic towels can make hair frizz). You can either let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Dry until your hair is almost dry, and then let air dry the last bit. Do not touch the hair while it is air drying or it will frizz!
- Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Desert Essence Organics Italian Red Grape Conditioner (found at health food/organic stores) or Activate Hydrating Conditioner (drugstore). The combo of products that I use daily is L'Oreal Out of Bed Weightless Texturizer (comes in a black-colored tub) and then Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Gel or Body Envy Gel, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites. The products I recommended are my personal favorites and contain no silicones.
- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This may take a couple weeks to begin working. Before you decide to quit shampoo, do a final cleanse with shampoo and stop the use of any products with silicones in them. Hope this helps!
