FRIZZ..FRIZZ..FRIZZ..LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!
Ok, so let’s chat about a topic that I get uber questions on and I’m quite sure many of us have dealt with…FRIZZ!!! As always, I hope this topic will help shed some light on a popular topic not only in the natural hair community, but, well, almost every hair community.
FRIZZ…WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?
FRIZZ…WHAT CAUSES IT?
FRIZZ..WHAT CAN HELP?
Remoisturizing old hair in 5 simple steps
Step 1: Grab your favorite moisturizer (leave in conditioner, moisturizing cream, spray mist, water). I alternate between my Natty Moist and Natty ACV Mist as my moisturizer of choice.
Step 2 – 3: Working in sections (if the hair is long enough) apply moisturizer to your hair making sure to coat each strand. Then apply an oil, butter or your Natty Butter to seal/lock in moisture.
Step 3: Be sure to moisturize your edges and ends as well. They can become dry and brittle leading to breakage
Step 4: Twist, braid or apply any protective style of your choice. Nice moisturized, sealed and protected hair. I wear my hair in this manner throughout the week allowing me to retain moisture, minimize breakage and retain length due to its low manipulation.
Step 5: Cover and protect at night with a silk or satin scarf, bonnet or pillowcase.
Step 6: When unraveling for styling, be sure to apply some butter or oil to your hair to undo any style. This way, you minimize the amount of frizz and friction caused. AND, as a bonus, you may get a few days worthy of rocking your favorite style!

My Tresses
For the most part, I experience low frizz by following my moisturizing routine, using products with great ingredients and practicing low manipulation styles. Keep in mind, though, even keeping hair in protective styles such as braids and twists for a long period of time can create not only frizz but the potential for the hair to ‘loc’. As mentioned above, I make sure when unraveling my twists, I apply my Natty Butter onto my hands, rub in to melt, then unravel my twists or braids for a great twist out. I also keep my ends nice and moisturized and trimmed.
