The Secret to Frizz-Free, Happy Curls!

Curly hair has a mind of its own, and sometimes that means frizz takes over! But don’t worry, my pretty curly friend—we’re here to help you understand why frizz happens and how to keep your curls defined, soft, and resilient with the (Pretty) Curly Girl method. Let’s dive into the science behind frizz and how to keep it under control!

Why does curly hair get frizzy?

Frizz occurs when your curls are thirsty, and the environment is more than happy to provide moisture. Due to the unique structure of curly hair, it is naturally drier than straight hair. When humidity increases, your curls absorb water from the air, causing them to swell and disrupt their natural curl pattern. The result? Flyaways, uncontrolled curls, and that dreaded frizz.

Why does my curly hair get frizzy when wet?

Have you ever noticed that your curls look extra frizzy after washing? That’s because the hair cuticle—the protective outer layer of your hair—opens when wet, allowing moisture to penetrate easily. This disrupts the delicate protein structure in your hair, making your curls more fragile and harder to style.

To keep your curls happy, avoid keeping them wet for too long and never go to bed with damp hair! Instead, gently remove excess water from your hair and use the right products to lock in moisture without weighing your curls down.

How to control frizz and love your curls

Now that we know why frizz happens, let’s discuss how to keep your curls looking gorgeous and frizz-free!

• Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that is CG method approved – Harsh shampoos strip your hair of natural oils, leaving it dry and frizzy. Our Pretty Curly Girl Clean Peppermint Shampoo cleanses without drying out your hair, keeping your curls hydrated and healthy.

• Hydrate with the right conditioner that nourishes your curls instead of just weighing them down – A deep, nourishing conditioner like our Pretty Curly Girl Deep Conditioner keeps your curls soft, shiny, and moisturized, preventing dryness that leads to frizz.

• Seal in hydration with a CG method leave-in conditioner – Lightweight yet hydrating, our Pretty Curly Girl Leave-In Conditioner keeps your curls moisturized and ensures they remain shiny all day long.

• Define with a gel or foam – The right styling products help keep curls bouncy and frizz-free. Our Pretty Curly Girl Curl Gels & Foams offer the perfect balance between definition and hold.

Do my curls need protein or moisture/hydration? Use CG method hair products the right way.

One common mistake with curly hair is using too much moisture or too much protein. Here’s how to find the perfect balance:

• You need protein if: Your curls feel limp, stretch easily, or lose their definition.

• You need moisture/hydration if: Your hair feels rough, brittle, or frizzes quickly.

Our Pretty Curly Girl Deep Conditioners provide exactly what your curls need.

The best routine for frizz-free curls – No curly secret, just a curly girl method plan that works!

• Wash with a Curly Girl Method sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse without drying out your hair.

• Use a nourishing conditioner to detangle and hydrate your curls.

• Apply a leave-in conditioner to maintain moisture.

• Use a CG method gel or foam for definition and hold. Did you know our gels are made with flaxseed gel? Especially our Magical Flaxseed Gel, which contains a high amount of flaxseed extract for natural hold.

• Air-dry or diffuse on low heat for the best results. In the Curly Girl Method, it’s important not to damage your curls with excessive heat.
