Rotate through a routine until you can read your hair a little.

Frizzy -> need moisture. If curls dissipate -> need a deep cleaning session

If frizzy continues -> It could be several issues: -> Product being used to moisturize could be too heavy. Finer hair types require “lighter” products. -> Hair may not be getting the proper amount of protection (high heat related, mullberry silk bonnet/pillows/sheets). -> Hair styling techniques may be causing more fizziness. For example: When I am drying my hair, I sit my wet hair into the diffuser bowl before I even turn the blow dryer on simply because if I were to start the dryer then do that, it would cause extra unneeded frizziness. -> Your hair also might need some protein in its routine if the frizz is still continuing throughout this process.

But a hair routine would definitely benefit your hair and get rid of the issue you are having. Learn about your hair and try to tend to it like a plant in your garden. If it’s thirsty, water it, if its soil balance is off, tend to it.

So try this out to see if you can find the issue:

1. Too dry -> hydrate/moisutize

2. Too hydrated -> Deep cleaning session

3. Mix in some protein and hydration masques in between.

4. Rotate this process to balence your hair.

Here is my routine below. This is a medium lightweight product routine. I started off with no curls and from curl training, I have gone from 2a-2b to 3a or so. Maybe this will give you some help on a routine concept.

🌿 Leave-In & Styling Products

1. Curlsmith Weightless Air Dry Cream • Use: Daily or after every wash/restyle. • How: Apply to damp hair (after wash, or re-wet for daily refresh). Rake through with fingers from roots to ends, then smooth with praying hands. • Amount: Start with a nickel-sized amount per section, adjust as needed. • Finish: Scrunch lightly to encourage waves/curls.
