straight frizzy hair????

[shadowclaw]

My hair is straight as a pin and it gets a frizz of sorts. The shorter hairs go nuts if I don't dry my hair properly (frequent combing while air drying with my hair down), and they also go nuts when it gets closer to wash time. I haven't found a permanent solution, but moisture and frequent brushing/combing does tend to prevent it.

As others have said, it's quite possible that your hair is actually wavier than you think. More moisture might help, since dry hair is often frizzy, but it's also possible that more moisture could make the frizzing hair curl more.

It's also possible that you have something similar to what I have, which is hairs that think they're supposed to be curly when they first grow. The ends of my new hairs are quite wavy, and only after 3-4 inches of does the growth calm down and come in straighter. Those first few inches tend to curl out of the general pattern, therefore. There's not much you can do if this is what's going on. I find that greasier hair, either oiled or several days post-wash or in a water-only routine, behaves a bit better as far as these are concerned.

I've noticed aloe gel can reduce the appearance of frizz in my hair.

Frizz can be any number of things: new growth, broken hairs, damaged hairs, dry hair, or wavy/curly hair that was separated from the rest by a brush. Unfortunately, if it's any of the first three, there's no immediate fix, so I suggest putting your hair into a half-up (the front part of your hair combed back and secured in the back with a jaw clip) to flatten the frizzy hairs.

If it's due to either of the latter two, try giving your hair more moisture or not brushing it.
