Megan,

First thing you have to keep in mind is that really tight curly hair is, by nature, really dry!

It needs lots of moisture.

I recommend the Deva Curl "NO-poo" shampoo. It will not bubble because there are no Sodium Laurel sulfates or other sulfates to dry out the curl. It is great for moisture. With that use a rinse out and a leave-in conditioner, followed by a deep treatment weekly until your curl feels healthier.

Check out other Q&A on this site for deep treatments I recommend.

Avoid wrapping your hair up in a towel. This can over-dry the hair and create more frizz by pulling the cuticles apart. Instead, try towel blotting - use an old t-shirt or check out www.curlslikeus.com - they have a nice towel that helps minimize frizz.

Stay away from products with artificial ingredients that will coat your hair and create a barrier. These ingredients suffocate the hair.

The more moisture your hair can retain the less frizz you will see. Healthy hair is less frizzy hair!

Check out some up styles to wear with your hair, on my web site: www.strictlycurls.com

Best of luck,

Nicole

I have the same problem.

Try Tresemme conditioner and Don't cut your hair shoulder length! Trust me, it will look like a Christmas tree.

When you're out of the shower use a de-frizz hairspray and wrap your hair in a towel. Tie your hair in two reallyyy tight braids and let it dry overnight. In the morning slowly take out your braids. Put your hair upside down, shake it and stick a head band on and you're good to go!

I've been doing this for a loonnggg time and it works wonders. This will give it a loose curl effect.

Good luck
