Loma Calming Creme Anti-Frizz- I use one pump. Smooth it through my hair, it detangles too. It's like magic. And, I like the way it smells.

I have never heard of this brand! Do you also used their shampoo/conditioner line?

eld there are a lot of products for curly hair that you can use with a diffuser or let your hair air dry. Not sure what would make something specific for air drying only. My hair is thick, coarse and very curly. Twice/year I have a mild keratin treatment - doesn't eliminate the curls but makes them softer and I use Deva Curl Suprercreme when I want to be curly or wavy.

Have you tried Biosilk hair therapy? Not a drying product per se, but I find that, unlike most, it actually leaves your hair better than before....it will feel a bit sticky straight away, but give it time and that feeling goes away.

My hair is a combination of curl-wave-frizz-fly away. It is thick with lots of body and since it’s been cut short it needs “calming down” or it will get bushy. I just started using Shea moisturize curl and style milk. I rub a small amount in my hands and run my hands through my hair from just below the roots to the ends. Scrunch as desired and then “no touch” until it’s dry. I also spray a small amount of It’s a Ten leave in conditioner. Though I am trying to eliminate dimethicone as much as possible. I also use New Wash shampoo but still use conditioner even tho it says you don’t need it. My style is “studied disarray”.

Penny, which Biosilk products do you use?

Holu, I use this one..

I was pleasantly surprised as I have tried so many products and didn't expect much that would be different about this one...even out of the bottle it felt so much like the others. My hair isn't overly frizzy, but it is very long, if that matters.

eld, if you try the drying cream, let us know what it's like...

Lots of good products in the devacurl line. I use the Deva conditioner but rinse very little of it out. I then use either curl maker or arc a gel gel. i use a good bit and scrunch like crazy. Air dry and then scrunch again with a little bit of conditioner or gel on my hands.

I have super frizzy hair and live in FL so I know a thing or two about hair products. I too try and stay away from silicones. They do work but seal your hair cuticle and keep it from absorbing moisture which is what a curly girl needs LOTS of.

Cmm, my sister has curly hair and uses the Diva products. Mine is frizzy and wavy. Not sure if Diva would work for me.

eld it occurred to me that you might not know some of the basics for controlling frizz - if you do just consider it a repeat!

Blot/squeeze water from hair after shampooing, preferably with something that is not terry, like an old t-shirt. Some of the microfibers made for hair might work but I've never tried them. Never rub hair with a towel. Don't brush wet hair. The exception to that is if you are using a hair dryer and brush styling until dry. Use a wide tooth comb instead if you need to detangle. If you use a diffuser or low volume because you don't want to go out with a wet head, always leave hair damp, don't fully dry. Whatever products you try, these curly/wavy are in addition to avoid frizz. HTH

Sorry I have posted this picture before but it’s a good example of the products I use to control frizz. Believe it or not my hair is considered wavy not curly. Waives are more prone to frizz as well. If I showed you a picture of my hair in the morning it would scare small children! I have to wet my hair every day but not necessarily shampoo. Conditioner is crucial. Yes to the towels especially made for curlies. Silk pillowcase as well.

Eld you may not consider yourself a curly but the techniques can apply to tame frizz as well. You may be surprised how your hair might have a substantial wave to it once it is tamed.

Also I live in SW FL as I call it ground zero for frizz and humidity!

I also have curly, sometimes quite frizzy hair. I’ve been wearing it curly only for the last year after straightening it for years. I am following the Curly Girl method as far as products go, so I don’t use any products with silicones in them. I liked products with glycerine until the weather got hot and humid (glycerine apparently sucks moisture from the air and made me frizzier), but I’ve switched lately to those without. I either co-wash or use low poo, then condition and rinse. I am using a little mousse only on my roots for volume and then gel everywhere. In the colder months, i will use a curl cream before gel. I let it dry all the way, and scrunch. I find if I touch it while drying it gets frizzy, and once the crunchy gel is scrunched out, I try not to touch it again throughout the day. Unfortunately most curly hair will have some frizz, but not touching it, using the microfiber towel or soft cotton t-shirt, and sleeping on a satin pillowcase will help reduce it.
