Curly hair is bold and beautiful, but frizz? Not so much. The struggle with frizz is real, and it can start from a young age. The good news is that with the right products and techniques, you can tame the frizz to bring out your child’s natural hair texture, teaching them to love and care for their hair from a young age.
In our latest post, we’ll take a look at the causes of frizz and curly hair and how to reduce frizz to help your little one embrace their curls with confidence.
What Causes Frizz in Curly Hair?
Frizz can feel like an endless battle, with many things causing damage, including:
Humidity and weather
You can’t control the weather, and certain types of weather make it hard to control your hair! Humidity and hot weather, in particular, can cause frizz, making it difficult to maintain defined curls.
Hair damage
Hair that’s damaged from heat and/or chemicals can become dry and fragile, causing all kinds of problems - including frizz.
Lack of moisture
Lack of moisture is one of the biggest causes of frizz in curly hair, with hydration being essential to create definition and shine.
Hair type
Some hair types are more prone to frizz than others. Type 3 (Curly) and Type 4 (Coily) hair are particularly prone to frizz, although it can affect all hair types.
Proven Techniques to Reduce Frizz
So, what’s the solution for frizzy hair? With the right products and techniques, you can say goodbye to frizz and hello to smooth, bouncy curls. Follow the steps below to minimize  frizz:
Start with a proper hair washing routine
The fight against frizz starts in the shower. Use lukewarm (not hot!) water to wash hair to help lock in moisture. A pre-shampoo product like Niles + Chaz Scalp Enchanter can bring extra nourishment to the hair to help boost results.
Detangle hair in the shower
Try to detangle hair in the shower using a special detangling brush. The Brushmista is our wide bristle brush that’s perfect for gentle detangling to prevent snags and pulls for your little one.
Keep hair moisturized
Use products that can help keep hair moisturized throughout the day. Our Curl Raiser Revival Spray is just the thing to bring curls back to life.
Maintain hair at night
Wrapping hair at night is one of the best ways to fight frizz for curly or mixed textured hair - avoiding the friction caused by bedsheets and pillowcases. Our Snug-A-Bug Silk Bonnet is the perfect bedtime accessory for preventing frizz and maintaining hairstyles.
