If your hair looks greasy in between washes, use a dry shampoo to soak up the oil and add texture.
Avoid products that advertise increased hair volume, as these will exacerbate frizz. Condition your hair from the mid-lengths to ends, and leave it on your hair for at least 2 minutes before rinsing.
Avoid brushing wet hair, as this can cause breakage.
If you do choose to blow-dry your hair, apply a heat-protectant product first. Then, use an ionic, ceramic blow dryer to help combat frizz. Or, used a hooded dryer so the air flows down over the hair shaft.
Products like gels, mousses, and curl-enhancing creams all contain ingredients called polymers, which coat the hair and “lock” your curl or wave into place. If your hair is fine and wavy then mousses are your best choice since they don’t weigh hair down. If your hair is coarse and curly, gel or cream is recommended.
Whenever you use heat, you risk causing damage to your hair. Always apply a heat-protectant product first.
If desired, you can put a shower cap over your hair and let the oil soak in for 30 minutes before washing it out. You can help the oil penetrate deeper into the hair shaft by applying heat with a hair dryer.
