How to Turn Natural Curls From Frizzy to Fabulous

Fabulous!
Fabulous!

This is a simple little anti-frizz trick to define natural curls, and eliminate the frizz.

I discovered this little trick by trial and error.
Three of my four children had lovely natural curls that I was deemed to define. I had tried everything from expensive curling agents to hand lotion. One day when I was giving myself a pedicure, I noticed that the oil I was applying, soaked right into my feet without making them greasy. I wondered if it could work on dry curly hair the same way. It did, and I have been using this trick for the last several years!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Favorite moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
  • towel
  • Wide tooth comb with rounded edges
  • Burt's Bees almond oil
  1. Step 1

    Wet hair.

  2. Step 2

    Using fingertips, lather hair with favorite moisturizing shampoo.

  3. Step 3

    Rinse hair thoroughly using luke warm water.

  4. Step 4

    squeeze excess water from hair.

  5. Step 5

    Apply a generous amount of conditioner, pile hair on top of head, and let set for at least three minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Rinse hair thoroughly.

  7. Step 7

    Towel dry hair.

  8. Step 8

    Pick though hair from root to tip, using wide tooth comb.

  9. Step 9

    Rub a pea size amount of almond oil into palms, and apply through hair evenly with fingers.

  10. Step 10

    Let hair air dry.

Tips & Warnings
  • If hair still seems dry or frizzy, continue adding almond oil in pea size amounts until desired texture.
  • Always start with a pea size amount of almond oil to avoid hair from becoming oily, or greasy.
  • Only comb through hair with fingers, after it has dried, to ensure hair from becoming frizzy again.
