one problem I often see in the curl community is people struggling to reduce frizz without ending up frozen stiff curls.
The thought always brings me back to the 90’s and the good old “LA looks” days.

When we talk about trading frozen and stiff curls, we first have to understand what causes it so we can better understand how to prevent it.
What Causes Your Curls/Waves To Be Frozen And Stiff?
Well, there are a few different things that could be the cause of frizzy hair including:
- P/M Imbalance: Your hair is made up of 85-90% protein. Your hair NEEDS protein to thrive. However, if your hair contains too much protein, it can cause it to become limp, brittle, and stringy.
- Wrong Products: Using the wrong products (and/or in the wrong order can cause your hair to become stringy and frizzy.
- Wrong Application: even if you use the right products, but use them the wrong way, you could end up with poor results.
- Build-up: Product, dirt, and other elements from the environment have a way of causing buildup on your hair.
- Damage: If your hair is damaged, the hair follicle is unable to retain things like protein and moisture which are essential for your hair to thrive
What Promotes Healthy, Soft Curls/Waves?
- Consistent healthy hair care routine: You have to start with a healthy foundation in order to have soft, frizz free curls.
- Balanced protein and moisture: Protein and moisture are the building blocks of your hair. If these elements are not perfectly balance, your hair lacks the ability to hold it’s structure.
- The correct styling process: Since all curls/waves are very different there is no one size fits all approach to styling.
- The right products: Using the right products for your specific hair type is essential for great results.
- The right treatments: Since textured hair is more prone to damage, it’s important to use nourishing treatments to keep the hair shaft healthy.
