How to keep thick curly hair unfrizzed?

I love reading other people's answers because they make me laugh!!

Don't use a hair straightener unless you want it straight.. there are other ways to control frizz.

Don't use lemon juice. I dont know why you would. It is acidic. It will dry your hair out. Dry hair is frizzy.. you will be worse off than you are.

There is not one product that is good for everyone. Gel does work on some curly hair. Mousse works better for others. However, you said you were using a lot of gel.. if you are using a lot of any product it is the wrong product.

You need to start by buying a good salon quality shampoo and conditioner, one with moisture in it, lack of moisture is causing some of your frizz. Bed Head Moisture Maniac is great. A liter of shampoo and conditioner together will run you about $40, unless you can find it when they are having a 2for1 sale. Don't start panicking about the price just yet. A liter will last someone with thick just below shoulder length hair about 4-6 months. This only comes out to about $6-10 a month for everything. These salon products are concentrated. You only need a dime to a quarter sized amount.

Do not buy your shampoo or conditioner in a store. Store products are full of water. They are also harmful to your hair. The cheap ones strip it taking even more moisture out. The more expensive ones (Pantene and Dove) contain wax. Your hair will feel great after using these products. It will be shiny and soft. But have you ever seen what wax buildup on a floor looks like? Eventually your hair will be dull and lifeless. This is why people always think their shampoo has stopped working and they need to switch. Your hair doesn't get used to the shampoo.. and it's still doing its job.. piling wax on your hair.

It may take time to find a product that works for you. I personally use a spray on leave-in conditioner after stepping out of the shower. It adds even more moisture to your hair. Then I use a little bit (less than a handful) of mousse, and then I put in a curl creme. These three products together leave your hair soft and shiny. My hair is never crunchy. Even on the most humid days, it still lays down. Whats nice, is it doesn't end up flat though.

Try Paul Mitchell Awaphui Moisture Mist, Sculpting Foam (not extra body), and Round Trip. Go to a salon that offers your money back if you don't like a product. Most offer a 7 day guarnatee

Also, dont brush or comb your hair. I brush my hair right before the shower, just to get out tangles, and then I finger comb it after the shower, scrunch it a little, and thats it. If you brush, comb, or play with it, it will just get bigger
