• Use a smoothing serum

Works great to control your frizzy hair. Look for a serum that is gentle and natural.

• Use a cool setting on your hairdryer. Your hair is probably already stiff, dry and frizzy. So avoid excessive damage.
• Use a moisturizing shampoo and avoid products that add volume to your hair.
• Don't go to bed with wet hair. This can cause extra frizz.
• Use a microfiber towel. We’re all guilty of it: drying our hair with the same towel we use to dry our bodies. Unfortunately, that towel causes friction and breakage in your hair, leading to frizz and dryness. So invest in a microfiber towel. It’s made of a softer fabric that’s specifically designed to dry your hair with less damage.

• Diffusing! One of the best care tips for 2C hair is to use a diffuser. Drying your hair normally should be your worst enemy! Diffusing helps define your waves or curls while also making your hair bouncy.
• Apply your hair products to damp hair instead of wet hair. You may have heard that people with curly hair should apply products to their hair when it is soaking wet… This is not the case for you. Your waves or curls will be more defined when your hair is just a tad drier.
• Use gel for your hair. By using the scrunch-in, scrunch-out technique, you can create a perfect look. So when your hair is completely dry, turn your head forward and then scrunch your hair. But be careful, don't use too much gel!
• Buy a microfiber towel! Don't use a regular towel on your head. It will make your hair frizzy faster. So invest in a microfiber towel or use 100% cotton t-shirts to remove excess water from your hair.

• Follow the Curly Girl Method. This is a three-step process designed for people with wavy, curly, and kinky hair. Find out which steps work best for you.
• Focus on conditioner! As for your washing schedule, we recommend only washing your hair once or twice a week. Your curls tend to dry out quickly, and washing them too often will only make them drier, frizzy, and damaged. So, shampoo once a week and condition three times a week! Conditioning more often than shampooing will give your curls the moisture they crave.
• Choose products without sulfates. Sulfates are often very drying and damaging to your hair. Curls are often already sensitive to drying out, so it is better to avoid those products.
• Ensure proper hydration. Curls are prone to drying out quickly and to prevent this, you need to hydrate your hair sufficiently. Use leave-in treatments and care products to nourish your locks.
• Limit heat, color, and chemical treatments. It is best to minimize them. If you want to dry your hair, always use a diffuser. Remember, never forget to use a heat protectant.
• Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. This way you can protect the beautiful curls in your hair from breakage!
• Tie your hair in a loop right on top of your head and cover it with a silk scarf or hat to maintain the definition of your curls between washes. This is also known as the pineapple method!

• Moisture, moisture, moisture. Type 4 hair can be very dry and needs a lot of moisture. Especially type 4C hair! Before you start using leave-in conditioners, moisturizers, and oils, it is important to know that water is the key to keeping your hair hydrated. Water is absorbed into the strands and these other products seal them in to keep the hair hydrated. This is why water-based moisturizers work best for our hair, but they are not enough. The LOC method works well to keep hair hydrated. This involves applying a water-based leave-in conditioner to soaking wet hair, followed by an oil to seal it in, and finally a butter-based moisturizer for added moisture.
• Don’t comb your hair when it’s dry. Although your hair is very strong, it is also very fragile. Your hair tangles easily because your strands are so tightly coiled and close together. If you comb through those tangles when your hair is dry, you break it unnecessarily. It is best to comb 4C hair while it is soaking wet, with a conditioner that has a lot of slip (so that the comb glides through easily). This makes it easier to comb your hair and you only lose the hair that naturally falls off our heads every day.
• Comb less. Speaking of combing 4C hair, it’s best not to comb too much. Combing your hair every day will lead to breakage. Create styles that last at least a week and don’t require too much manipulation like finger curls, finger shafts, twist outs, and perm rods.
• Wrap a satin scarf around your head. Some people opt for protective styles like braids and twists to help their 4C hair grow and protect it from damage. And while those styles are super fun and fashionable, they’re not the only way to protect your natural hair texture from breakage, frizz, and other damaging elements. You can also just use a sleek satin scarf to prevent damage!
