Use a sulfate-free shampoo
Condition every wash and focus on mid-lengths to ends
Add a leave-in conditioner after showering
Apply a smoothing hair cream or anti-frizz serum to damp hair
Use a microfiber towel or soft cotton T-shirt to dry
Pat hair dry instead of rubbing
Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb on damp hair
Avoid brushing when hair is dry; detangle only when conditioned
Use a heat protectant before blow-drying or styling
Blow-dry on medium/low heat and keep the nozzle pointed downward
Finish with a cool shot to help smooth the cuticle
Limit heat styling and use lower temperatures
Reduce frizz-inducing friction (silk/satin pillowcase, satin bonnet)
Sleep with hair loosely braided or in a loose bun
Avoid tight hairstyles that cause breakage and flyaways
Use a clarifying shampoo occasionally to remove buildup
Deep condition 1x per week (or as needed for your hair type)
Try a weekly hair mask with moisturizing ingredients (e.g., oils, glycerin, shea)
Consider a keratin/protein treatment if your hair tolerates it
Use hair oils sparingly on the ends to seal moisture (avoid roots)
Avoid alcohol-heavy styling products
Don’t over-wash; wash only as often as needed for your scalp
Rinse with cool water at the end of washing
Trim split ends regularly to reduce frizz
Keep hair hydrated with consistent conditioning and leave-in use
If frizz persists, switch to a curl/wave-friendly routine (gel + scrunch, avoid touching while drying)
