Taking care of frizzy hair, it can sometimes be a difficult task! Frizzy hair is difficult to style because the many different types of curls can be vastly different from one another. Likewise, it is also common for frizzy hair to be knotted, dry and considerably frizzy, making it difficult to comb frizzy hair and care for it properly.
In this article, we explain what frizzy hair is and give you 7 golden tips to better manage this type of hairstyle so you can take care of it in the best way possible!
What is frizzy hair?
Frizzy hair is hair with very many small, dense curls varying in different sizes. These contiguous curls pile up into a massive mass. Curly hair is very common among Negroid men. For example, an afro hairstyle is a very recognizable cut for frizzy hair.

Below we give you 7 tips with product advice that can help you get your frizzy hair in better shape and keep it healthy!

Don't wash your hair every day
While it applies to every hair type, it is perhaps most true for frizzy hair; don't wash your hair every day! If you have frizzy hair, washing your cut every day can be disastrous. Washing your hair daily removes the natural sebum from your hair that it so desperately needs to maintain the moisture balance of your hair and scalp. Washing twice a week is therefore more than enough.
When you wash it, it is of course also important to use the right shampoo. S-Curl brand Charcoal Mint Shampoo and Forte Series brand Clarifying Shampoo are packed with good ingredients and have the right impact on frizzy hair.
S-Curl Charcoal Mint ShampooThis shampoo from S-Curl is enriched with activated charcoal, among other ingredients, which gives the hair and scalp a deep clean, removes toxins and soothes an irritated scalp. Also, the shampoo is enriched with castor and olive oil which restore frizzy hair and provide proper nutrition. The shampoo provides optimal moisture balance and is free of sulfates, parabens and phthalates (the latter: chemical plasticizers).
Forte Series Clarifying ShampooThis shampoo from Forte Series is full of natural ingredients such as apple cider vinegar, aloe vera, peppermint oil and shea butter, which provide intense root-to-tip cleansing of frizzy hair. The shampoo is also free of parabens, sulfates or other harmful chemicals and has a refreshing peppermint scent.Use a good conditioner
After washing with shampoo, it is important to use a good conditioner that is suitable precisely for frizzy hair. The Charcoal Mint Conditioner from S-Curl is such a quality conditioner for frizzy hair. You could also opt for the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Conditioner from Sunny Isle.
S-Curl Charcoal ConditionerThis Charcoal Mint Conditioner from S-Curl is a leave in conditioner that provides optimal moisture balance. This prevents dry and brittle frizzy hair and makes your curls more stretched and defined. The conditioner also makes the hair easier to comb through and more manageable.
Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil ConditionerThis is an ultra-hydrating conditioner from Sunny Isle that gives your frizzy hair unprecedented care. The Conditioner is enriched with rosehip and sesame seed oils, among others, which are essential for the overall care of the hair and scalp.
Prevent dehydrated hair
The third tip is to prevent your hair from drying out. You can do this by not washing it too hot, not exposing it to the sun for too long and using the right products that nourish and protect your frizzy hair. Products like S-Curl No Drip Activator Moisturizer and DAX 100% Pure Lanolin are some examples. In addition to conditioning and protecting, these products make your frizzy hair more combable.
S-Curl No Drip Activator MoisturizerS-Curl's No Drip Activator Moisturizer is a moisturizer that provides hair with great care. The moisturizer is enriched with glycerin and vitamin B5 that soften, condition and give your hair a nice shine, as well as prevent hair breakage.
Invest in a good comb and twist sponge
And by a good comb, we mean an Afro comb! Afro combs are widely used with frizzy hair and to add volume precisely in this type of hair. The Afro comb is a large comb with hefty, wide teeth that can get into tightly curled hair and lift it up and out of the head without ruining the curl in the process. Comb your hair only when it is damp because if you comb your "bunch" dry, the chances of tears and breakage are many times greater.A twist sponge is a brush made for men with short afro hairstyles. Because this brush has holes in the sponge you can create curls with it. The bigger the holes, the bigger the curls become. You create these by massaging the sponge through your frizzy hair with gentle circular motions. The longer you do this, the more curls you get.
Leave your blow dryer
If you have frizzy hair, it is better not to blow dry it. This is because a blow dryer gets very hot and can easily harm frizzy hair. Therefore, it is wiser to let your hair dry naturally. By AIR!
Do you still want to blow dry? Then we recommend using a blow dryer that works with ionic technology (never hotter than 180 degrees Celsius) and protect your hair with a heat protective spray or cream.Style your hair with the right products
The right products can help your hair stay in shape throughout the day while also protecting and nourishing it.
S-curl Texturizer Wave & Curl CreamThis cream transforms coarse hair with a slight curl, within minutes, into beautiful soft and natural curls. The texturizer cream is available in three different strengths of which this is the strongest variant.
Sunny Isle Curly CustardThis Jamaican Black Castor Oil Curly Custard from Sunny Isle brings out the best in your curly or wavy hair. The curly custard gives your hair good hydration and has a lightweight formula to prevent your curls from sagging. The curly custard is enriched with pure Jamaican castor oil, which is rightly called miracle oil and thus provides intensive nutrition to your curls.Protect your hair
Last but not least; Protect your hair at all times! Protecting your frizzy hair from breakage and preserving its natural oils can be done with a Do-rag or Wave Cap.
A Do-rag is a tight-fitting cap that you pull tightly over your hair and close by tying a knot in the back. Do-rags keep hair from becoming unkempt and hold newly styled hair in place while it cures.
A Wave Cap is a type of hat made of material that can be compared to women's tights. Wave Caps are thin, tight and held on the head by a thick elastic band.
