What frizz? Your hair looks great!

Tons of conditioner (leave in or deep condition) and oil! I love Moroccan oil hair oil, it's a godsend for softness, but can't say it'll help curls.

However mousse definitely might, i love pattern mousse (it's more of a foam!) and might give you some more hold! Seems like you might be looking for definition more than less frizz necessarily.

I've also oddly found redkin acidic bonding products to have an oddly strong effect on my hair curling, so maybe that's an option. (The serum/mask in particular.)

Alternatively I've had luck with less product but satin bonnet like kitsch, especially when it's almost completely dry but maybe slightly damp overnight, which i was using the oaiu foam with (made it very soft but heads up, it has no hold, it's just for air drying curls!) i like the product a lot though, that could also be an option.

Possibly do the wet hair strand protein test and make sure your hair couldnt use some protein.

Do you squish with a microfiber hair towel (like kitsch) first at all? (Especially while soaking wet with products in)

Everything here can be gotten at Ulta/sephora, who both accept used returns!

What frizz? I really don’t see any.

Is the frizz in the room with us ?

Your hair is lovely, and I don't see very much frizz at all! When you put in your gel oil after washing, you might want to make sure it's distributed all the way to the ends? Or try a stronger hold product (I haven't used the one you're using, so I don't know how strong it is). Aside from that, I like to wet my hands a little with a spray bottle and gently run them over the frizzier bits to get them to cooperate, then finish with a small amount of hair spray.

Honestly though, wavy/curly hair is naturally frizzy, and you'll drive yourself insane trying to eliminate it completely. It was hard for me to accept this after straightening my hair for years and years, but I've learned not to stress over it. It's not going to look as smooth as straightened hair, and that's ok.

I'm in the same boat. Used Olaplex products last 2 shampoos. Hair looks a bit less frizzy.

Same issue, I have a great head of hair now after taking OM but the frizz is not nice.

Wait I’m curious why does hair loss make hair frizzy?

Switching to Aphogee products has calmed down all my frizz. Fwiw I’ve got curly hair and it was pretty outta control! Also sometimes I’ll just use a 100% pure aloe Vera gel to smooth over my hair if I’m wearing it up - it’s great for your scalp and has a medium hold

Use a silicone based anti-frizz serum in place of your oils.

I do leave in conditioner, curl cream, and mousse.

Use gel

gel or thicker cream then break the cast with oil

also allowing your hair more volume won’t help with the frizz per say but when you’re trying to keep it down like in the last few pics, more volume kinda masks the frizz per say

do you air dry or blow dry your hair? i usually blow dry and have this problem so I’m just curious!

Did you use it on your roots?

I have been dealing with it for about 2yrs weird black thick extremely curly frizzy hair and its been growing alot... Glad u posted 😭

Looks to be mostly dimethicone.

Major improvement!! I need this!

Style with a volumizing mousse. Scrunch into wet hair, plop into a cotton t shirt for 20-30 minutes, then take out and dry. Don't touch at all during the drying process. Once your hair is completely dry, scrunch it all again to break the cast and soften the waves. 

Leave-in conditioners work very well for me!

Hi there! I'm a bot, and I've been summoned to help.

Reminder: Curl type is NOT your hair type! Whether you are wavy, curly, or coily - you have texture and you belong here. More than that, your curl type doesn't dictate how you care for your hair. To help your curls thrive, we recommend instead using the wiki link above to learn about your porosity, texture, and density.

Thank you. Wishing you many happy, wonderfully curly hair days!

before we look into styling i really recommend you get a conditioner to use after shampooing. that will moisturize your hair in the shower. Also a clarifying shampoo with sulfates to get rid of any buildup.

next steps are for sure looking into using a gel of some kind if you want to reduce frizz. if volume is something you're concerned with then maybe a mousse might be better for you. Off rip I recommend Aussie's Instant Freeze Gel cause it's cheap (in store at least) and works well. If you don't like how that works maybe try GIOVANNI Mousse Hair Styling Foam cause again, cheap.

for drying, I'm not sure what you do, but I recommend gently scrunching out moisture with a cotton T-Shirt/microfiber towel and then diffusing. if you don't have or don't want to get a hair drier, you can air dry it since your hair is relatively short. you're gonna want to scrunch out any crunch (if you use gel) or massage your roots.

regarding the oil, oil didn't work too well for me and just made my hair greasy so definitely experiment with and without.

Bumble and Bumble invisible oil. I have short and wavy hair and this almost totally get rid of frizz.

I’m super happy with the ColorWow stuff. It’s a rectangle bottle. You saturate your hair with it and style as usual. I have naturally curly and wear it straight and unless it’s actually raining, it keeps it from frizzing and curling.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum is my ride or die.

depends are you air drying, diffusing or heat styling/ manipulation?🫶

I’m a big fan of the living proof frizz cream for wet hair and the instant deflate for drive. I also just got the smoothing cream from fekkai, that’s also a heat protectant.

I just picked up Ouidad Advanced Climate Control products from Costco and it's working pretty well so far.

You're looking for strong hold gel. The strongest you can find. At drugstore prices, the only effective one I've found is Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Hard Hold Gel (NOT the sculpting gel, that one doesn't have much hold). Not sure where you're located but I often find more expensive brands at Marshalls and TJ Maxx for a big discount. I recommend Curlsmith Shine Gel or In Shower Style Fixer, AG Liquid Effects, and Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Stronger Hold Gel (red bottle not white).

Your hair looks a lot like mine - I've started skipping the conditioner in shower and using a spray leave-in conditioner (lately Humectress) and texturizing spray before I air dry it.

We have very similar hair. I live in south tx so frizzy is unavoidable because of the heat and humidity. However, I started treating my hair as wavy instead of straight. I use paraben and sulfate free products, primarily biolage but sometimes use others like arvanzallia or redken. After showering I spray an leave in and COMB out my hair when its wet. Work from ends up to minimize breakage. I use some hair oil and go (im super low maintenance . I have products to use but not on a reg) at night I use a brush that also has boars hair and brush out the day, then put up in a protective style for sleep. Silk pillow cases helped a ton. I grew my hair out and it seemed to ask help with the lions mane. Look for alternative type of hair ties. Mine arent the traditional elastics idk what they are though I can send a Pic. Theyre just flat and circular, not where you can feel the elastic inside the tie.

I have similar hair and find I get best results with a leave in conditioner followed by Curlsmith Bouncy Strength Volume Foam. This is the single best product I’ve ever tried. If I want more hold I add a light gel - Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly is a good one.

Get a keratin smoothing treatment once a year, it helps with frizz sooo much.

I am in love with OLAPLEX

Weightless Volumizing Hydration Hair Mask for Fine Hair (S)

I have fine and thining hair, i was hesitant at first, but to my surprise it wasn't heavy, or oily. It was smoothing and plumping the hair. It was light weight in texture, doesn't weigh your hair down.
