FRIZZ... How do I defeat it, but still keep mah curl?
18/f I FRICKIN' HATE FRIZZ. I've had to deal with it all my life. It's what I'm known for, unfortunately. I have medium-length brown, thick, frizzy hair. But beneath all the ugggggllllllllyyyy frizz is some beautiful natural curl I have! So, I wanna know... Are there any natural tricks or solutions to tackling frizz without straightening or curling it, etc.? Like for example, I've heard of rinsing it in cold water, or whatever? I never have time or skill/knowledge to actually do my hair in the morning. But I'll tell you what I do, just so maybe you can tell me if I need to do something, or am doing anything wrong?
I shower at night. When I'm done, I towel dry a ton, then wrap it up in a towel while I brush my teeth, and all that other junk. Then after a while I take it out and brush it. Then I put in some mousse, but only a little. Then I go to bed. I wake up and it has this natural curl to it that I love. But it's over-shadowed by this layer of frizz floating on top of it. It's sooooo freaking annoying, I hate it so much!!!! Out of desperation, I'll try to put more mousse on it, even though my hair's dry. But then when I look in a mirror at school the frizz has popped up again, like I had never put any mousse in it in the first place. I don't know how to do my hair, or braid it, nor do I have the time in the morning. I love having my hair down, but sometimes the frizz is so bad I just have to put it up in a pony tail, which looks so plain and eeeyeuck.
I hate to be picky, but I cannot use hairspray. My friends for some reason love to play with my hair, and if it was all stiff, it would be weird and awkward, lolol. But anyway, yeah. Caan someone help me~???

I sometimes have the same problem!
I sorted mine my blow drying so it isn't curly.
If I want my nice curls I use a normal amount of shampoo and conditioner, towel dry a wee bit, not too much as that causes frizz, also try not to use mouse, then sort your parting and scrunch your hair. I can take some practise.
There are many creams you can use when you've gotten out the shower. Make sure it's conditioning and leaves no residue - you don't want greasey looking hair!
My friend has MEGA curly hair, I'll ask today what creams etc she uses and add the info for you. (:

I totally understand about the whole frizz thing. One thing that I've noticed about my hair is that when I towel dry too much, that my hair is frizzier when it gets dry so try to let it air dry most of the time. The website below has some tips on how to control frizzy hair:

Also, I would recommend learning how to braid your hair. There are some good tutorial videos all over the web. And some tips to make ponytails look better are to have bangs to go with your face shape.(a lot less hair to deal with and it helps make a ponytail look tons better). Most of the styling info can be found online if you just search it. I hope this was helpful :)

My hair is pretty straight but I have heard from my curly haired friends that after you get out of the shower if you scrunch in a curling gel that wont make your hair crunchy that will help a ton. Also, try using argon oil on hair, it makes it frizz free, soft, and shiny.
Good luck!
