How to Defrizz Curls for Spanish Women

Washing your hair every other day can help reduce frizzy curls.

Defrizz your Spanish curls to achieve that saloon smooth look you have always desired. Misusing certain hair products, improper drying methods and poorly caring for your hair may be causing your frizzy curls. You can defrizz frizzy hair by following the right techniques for naturally smoother locks. Spanish women may follow simple steps to help make naturally curly hair frizz-free again.

Things You'll Need

• Conditioner
• Anti-frizz serum
• Thin towel
• Plastic bristle brush

Instructions

1. Condition your hair regularly. Using deep conditioner regularly will produce less frizzy curls. Depending on your preference, you may use a conditioner to leave in for a few minutes in the shower before being washed, or you may use a conditioner that stays in your hair until the next time you wash it.

2. Avoid products with drying ingredients. Shampoos, conditioners or hair sprays and serums that contain alcohol or sodium lauryl sulfates will dry out your hair and promote frizzing.

3. Blot your hair after showering. Towel drying your hair can create static and frizz in your curls. Instead of wringing out your hair with a towel, blot with a thin, special hair-drying or hand towel.

4. Wash your hair every other day. Washing hair every day continuously dries it out. Leave a day or two between washes to allow the natural oils in your hair to smooth away frizz.

5. Apply hair serum. Various hair product manufacturers sell anti-frizz serum that will relax your natural curls. Apply the anti-frizz serum to your comb by smoothing the product through the comb's teeth. Comb through your hair for an even application. A small amount of moisturizer may work as an anti-frizz serum or you may purchase a professional hair serum. For products specially meant for Spanish women, see Resources.

6. Brush your hair with plastic bristle brushes. Wire or fiber bristles add static to your hair while plastic bristle brushes create less static and help smooth away frizz.

7. Cut your hair regularly. Trimming your hair every 4 to 6 weeks at your local salon will take care of your split ends and help keep your hair smooth, reducing fly-away, damaged ends.
