Hi. Straightening hair in hot weather is like keeping clothes from being wrinkled. That just wont work. So thats not a viable option. I used to do that, but I let my hair stay curly. The products on the market dont do much for moisture. Frizzy hair is a sign of dryness, which is lacking moisture. They have lots of harsh chemicals that just dont do anything for hair. You should go for more natural products that have less chems/no chems/100% natural. Here are some websites for curly hair you can take a look at:

www.curls.biz - I currently use this.

Take a look at them. Also look at their faqs and tips. You will get great info too. Only shampoo your hair 1x/week on your scalp, not all over hair or it will dry it out! If hair is dirty, use conditioner instead to wash it out. This will moisturize hair and clean it at the same time. To tame down frizzies while washing, put hair into some big loose braids, apply shampoo to scalp, gently rub, wash out, then loosen each braid. Apply conditioner to braid, smooth out tangles and fingercomb, then braid back. Do to all other braids and then wash out. DONT MANIPULATE YOUR HAIR ALL OVER, YOU WILL TANGLE IT AND CAUSE FRIZZIES! Just run the water through your hair and squeeze braids until shampoo/conditioner washes out. Tip: If you want, you could leave a little conditioner in your hair to keep that soft feeling. This video is on www.growafrohairlong.com. Its called the shampoo method, there is a video, its good for anyone. This tames my hair before I style it.

DONT USE A TOWEL TO DRY YOUR HAIR OR FRIZZIES WILL COME! Squeeze out some water, but not all of it. Apply a moisturizing custard cream to your hair ( I use the whipped cream from curls.biz) and spritz some leave-in conditioner to your hair. Depending on your hairstyle, you can leave it out, braid it back and then loosen it later, or whatever you want. Dont blowdry your hair. Air dry. Its safer and will set your hair better. You should also get something for when your hair is dry that will moisturize your hair and give it shine, since you could only use the custard cream when hair is dripping wet. You dont want to wet your hair all the time, do you?

I hope this helps you. Maybe a good deep conditioning treatment 2x/month will do your hair good. Oh and since your hair is curly, you shouldnt comb or brush it often. That will also cause static to frizz your hair up. Use a wide tooth comb if you do. I fingercomb only, no combs. God bless.

Just let it be curly. And acctually use a curling shampoo followed with a smoothing conditioner. DO NOT blow dry or brush. use a smoothing serum and then a shine spray. The more you touch and put into your hair, the frizzier it will be and that doubles for curly hair. I would suggest everything Mattrix. Curl life shampoo ($13.95) Sleek Conditioner ($12.95) Smoothing Serum (15.95) and a protective shine spray (13.95) Good Luck.

My friends use gel. I don't have curly hair, but it's really prone to frizzing all over, and I use BIOLAGE Smoothing Serum.

You could also use olive oil which is what my sister uses, and it's really good for your hair. The only thing is you really have to know how much to use because if you use to much it's gonna be really greasy and smelly.

Don't straighten it but if it's humid it's hot. If you have ling hair then i suggest a braid or if it's short then little pigtails on each side because then it's okay to be frizzy!
