If you have any type of natural curls, you know about the inevitable trade off: frizz. The struggle is real, especially when conditions are humid or dry, or when you overdo the hot tools. The good news is you don’t have to resign to a life of frizzy curly hair. It can be tamed once and for all with the easy strategies in this guide on getting smooth frizz-free curls, so let’s get started!
The best curl products for frizzy hair do not contain sulfates, which can be very drying. You need specially formulated shampoo and conditioner that both hydrate and help retain moisture while adding nourishment. The Garnier Fructis Curl Nourish line is the perfect blend for combatting frizzy curly hair, plus it won’t strip any of your natural oils. Start your curly hair care routine with Curl Nourish shampoo and conditioner.
Stay one step ahead of split ends by regularly snipping them off. Frayed tips coarsen your hair texture and are major culprits of frizzy curls – and a big reason your locks may look unruly and unhealthy.
The ultimate goal when taming frizzy curly hair is striking the ideal moisture balance. Deep conditioning treatments like leave-in Curl Air Dry Cream and hair masks are your ticket to restoring the happy hydration medium.
Plant-based oils have been conquering frizzy curls for millennia because they naturally seal in moisture without the weighdown. After washing and conditioning, but before styling, apply a hair oil that suits your curly hair texture like Curl Multi-Use Oil with vitamin E and coconut oil.
Traditional hairbrushes can actually cause frizzy curls and breakage. Always gently style and detangle with a wide-toothed comb or your fingers, and make things easier with Pure Clean Detangler. Look for a detangling comb made from pliable material to avoid unnecessary tugging and only use it only on wet hair.
Keep your curly hair routine simple and consistent: diligence goes a long way to preventing frizzy curls over time. Shampoo and condition in the shower, add a leave-in conditioner or cream to damp hair, apply some hair oil, style with a detangling product, air-dry, and deeply hydrate weekly with a curly hair mask/treatment.
Once you have curly frizzy hair under control, don’t mess it up! Maintain your soft curls by sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase. Resting your head on cotton can create friction that dries out curls and worsens tangles and frizz. Also try wearing a protective hairstyle like pineappling or a silky bonnet.
Your top options for fighting frizz are key ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, aloe vera, and coconut oil. Say no to anything that may dry out your hair like sulfates and alcohol because they tend to cause frizzy curls.
Only wash curly hair twice or three times a week and always use sulfate-free products. Frequent washing and sulfates strip away natural hair-hydrating oils, which leads to dryness and frizz.

Your terry towels may feel soft, but they actually create friction and are rough on hair, which causes frizz and breakage. Opt instead for a microfiber towel or even a cotton T-shirt.

It’s true what they say about too much of a good thing [sigh]. Overdoing it with heavy hair care products can weigh curls down and create buildup. But you won’t get any frizz control if you use too little. Find the middle ground for your curl type and length by starting with the amount recommended on the label. Then use slightly more or less until you hit the sweet spot.
