This will be a short, sweet, and to the point blog because there really isn't much to say about frizz. Curls come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, but one thing that every natural has in common is FRIZZ. For some, frizz is the enemy but for me frizz is my best friend. Crazy huh?? I'll explain my reasoning a little later on in this blog.
Let's start off by defining frizz. Frizz can be defined as a tangle of hair that sits upon your head from time to time. There are many ways that hair can become "frizzy" but the main reason is simply because of a raised cuticle layer. Which in turn causes the hair to look dry and frizzy instead of laying flat. Curly hair appears to be more frizzy than straight hair because of a simple factor called dehydration. As we all know, curly hair is drier than straight hair so that only makes sense. How one styles their hair is also a factor to consider if you are experiencing frizz. Hence, why I spoke on not using towels, shampoos, extra manipulation to the hair etc,.
How one views frizz is a major factor. I myself, love when my hair is frizzy. I love big hair and volume in my curls. For me, I can't achieve either without the frizz. So I purposely manipulate my hair in order to create a healthy amount of frizz by picking and fluffing my hair. If you are not comfortable with big hair, then I don't suggest that you use the above method. When styling your hair you will want to style it with your product, air dry, and leave your hair alone. No flipping your hair upside down, diffusing, picking, or fluffing it. Keep in mind...the more manipulation you use on your hair the more frizz and volume you will create. Frizz is not a bad thing ladies....embrace it and make it work for you because you will always deal with it on your natural hair journey. So why not learn to love it!?!?

The picture on the left shows my hair with no manipulation. There is barely any volume or frizz. While the picture on the right shows my hair with tons of manipulation to include diffusing, picking my hair with a hair pick, stretching my hair with a concentrated nozzle, and fluffing my hair with my fingers. The results are very much different when the style process changes but I love both options. Ladies, again find what works for you and own it!!!! Mwah!!!
