[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 604353, member: 3907"] A lot of the products designed to de-frizz also dry out curly hair, which causes it to be frizzy, which requires more product -- and you're off to the races. I've always had better luck with food-grade oils. I used to use a few drops of olive oil. Switched to canola, because I didn't like my hair smelling like salad. Now I use avocado oil. All of them work really well, and you literally need only a couple of drops. Frizzy ends can be troublesome. The blow-dry and then smooth method works pretty well for this, but it takes a few rounds of practice to get it just right. I find that with the flat iron, try just gently curling under or over (depending on which way you want the hair to fall), rather than just going straight down. Curly hair always has a bit of tension in it and will fight to retain the curl no matter what. If you give it something to work with -- either a flip, or a curl-under, then it's more controlled. I don't know if I'm describing it very well. I know what I mean when I do it to my hair... [/QUOTE]
