Frizz. The most annoying, talked about thing when it comes to curly hair. When looking online to find a picture of wet frizz, several suggested links popped up. How do I get rid of my frizz? What products do I need? WHY is my hair frizzy? What is wet frizz?

Hydration, Hydration, Hydration, it is the key to kicking out frizz.

You should be deep conditioning your hair once a week EVERY WEEK!! If you have extremely dry, parched hair, you can use it more often. The two deep conditioners I SWEAR by are Heaven In Hair and Melt into Moisture by DevaCurl. Both deliver moisturizing, frizz fighting ingredients to tame your wild mane.

Heaven In Hair

This is one of my all time favorite products, when used correctly It will WORK. The three main ingredients in this incredible product are Cacao Butter, to soften and nourish, Cupuacu Butter, for long-lasting moisture and better elasticity (the bounce back) and Murumuru Butter to add shine and protect your curls. You do not have to rinse all of this product out, but it is recommended. The potential to weigh down your curls is present. If your curls are severely dry, you may want to consider leaving some of this in your hair.

After thoroughly cleansing your hair, take a generous amount of product and finger walk it through sections of your hair. This is the most IMPORTANT step of applying this product. As you finger walk through your curls, make sure they are completely coated in this deep conditioner. You want your curls to feel like silk. If you run your fingers through the section and they still feel dry, or rough when you touch them, add more conditioner and continue to finger walk the product through until your curls are silky, smooth. If you do not thoroughly coat each strand your hair will likely end up with wet frizz. You can rinse out the product after several minutes or leave it in for up to 30 minutes.

Melt Into Moisture

Melt Into Moisture is an INTENSE deep conditioning treatment. If you feel your curls are super dry, brittle and tangled, you need this rich treatment. The three main ingredients in Melt Into Moisture are Matcha Green Tea Butter, to retain moisture and seal the cuticle, Beet Root Extract, to improve elasticity and aid in protecting color and Sweet Almond Oil, to nourish and moisturize your curls.

This is not a leave-in product, but there are some exceptions. You can leave it in for several minutes after thoroughly cleansing your hair or you can leave it in for 15-20 minutes with a processing cap. BUT, the best thing with this product is you can leave it in overnight and wash it out in the morning! This is great for hair that is CRAVING that extra hydration. Use this product once a week, more if you believe you need to. Finger walk it the same as you would Heaven In Hair.

Hydration, Hydration, Hydration

As long as you are thoroughly conditioning and coating each curl, you will avoid any issues with wet frizz. Making sure your curls are hydrated is the best way to avoid frizz all together. The quality of the product you are using is immensely important. Tying in to my last blog about sulfates, silicones and parabens, if your product has any of these, the ability for any moisture to get through to the cuticle and prevent frizz will be blocked. Take your time in the shower, cleanse and condition thoroughly and you will permanently kick frizz right out of your curls!
