@FriendlyGal frizziness happens due to excess friction and/or dehydration. Since you said it happens after your shower while drying, it’s probably just dry. You can use oils or anti frizz products.I like kreyol essence Hatian black castor oil, its a bit more dense and heavy than most oils. You can apply it on wet or dry hair but i prefer wet. If you’re a bit turned off by it being a thick and heavy oil, Curlsmith has a shine oil and a bonding oil which are way more lightweight and both are still good. As for actual products, you can incorporate mousses or some kind of curl cream/gel. I have a lot of mousses i like, Camillie Rose Spiked honey mousse, PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Curl Mousse , and duex mousse def texture foam. You can decide which is best for you based off of price and reviews if you want. I also like Camillie Rose’s leave in conditioner cream and Carol’s Daughter born to repair defining cream. I don’t use all of these at the same time, i kind of pick and choose lol. When you’re detangling try using a detangling brush rather than a regular comb (unless you have more of a wavy hair type, which in that case they say you should use a wide tooth comb) and scrunch after.

@MrsEye I like camille rose’s curl love moisture milk and her spiked honey mousse. Use some kind of detangling brush (like a denman brush for example) or tangle teaser; or if u have more wavy curls, a wide tooth comb. That should help define your curls and evenly distribute the product.

@FriendlyGal i’ma gonna try to describe some basic styles i do and provide pictures as an example if i can😂. So first i like to part my hair horizontally (at like eyebrow level) across my head and do two space buns or ponytails; some times I switch the middle part up and instead of parting straight down the middle i’ll zig zag it or make it diagonal. Like the first picture: (none of these pictures are me, but they serve as a visual) Another one i do, for when I want to amp up my low ponytails, start the part off above the middle of one of my eyebrows and do a straight but diagonal line towards the center of my head. I cant find a picture that matches what it looks like well sorry😂. And then there’s the classic half up half down (second picture) and maybe leave some hair out on the sides if you want or have two small braids on the side 2 low pony tails or buns (third picture) and again play around with the parts; you could do a regular straight part, zigzag , diagonal, or side.  Also, whenever i’m looking for new style’s Pinterest is the main place i go (thats also where i got these reference pics lol)

@natsta The Aussie Frizz taming cream worked well for me with preventing frizz, the only down side is it can weigh my hair down since it’s so thick. Depending on your hair texture that may or may not be an issue for you. But also the Curlsmith ‘Hold Me Softly’ style balm is another that worked well for me.

@angelicacuenta, Hey 👋🏽... I'm transitioning to natural, too. Hurray! I can't tell you what my curl pattern is quite yet, but I was talking with my stylist recently. It's entirely possible to have both types. Usually when people care to type, you also often see a slash, so you could easily type yourself as 3c/4a.

Hi @bnhbriannaa ! I have coily hair (I’ll call it mostly 4a) that’s low porosity at the crown and back, and high porosity in the front. I’ve been natural for 20 years. Finding products that work for my blend of porosity is sometimes a challenge, but I’ve got some trusty staples in my haircare routine (I’m mostly a wash & go gal). My usual conditioner is Redken All Soft Mega Curls Conditioner. It does contain soy protein, so it might not be what you want for frequent use. It works very well on all my hair, though—even the crazy high porosity stuff that always wants to frizz the heck out before the rest of my hair’s anywhere near dry. (Note that this is NOT the same product as Redken All Soft Conditioner; that one leaves my hair feeling unmoisturized and I can’t detangle with it.) A few times a month, I swap Redken with Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Hair Mask 8 oz/ 237 mL and use it as a deep conditioner. This product also contains proteins. This is the only Briogeo product I use (eh, I do have their solid shampoo bar waiting for me to test). After rinsing out either of those conditioners, I immediately apply leave-in conditioner and/or styling product while my hair’s still soaking wet. This helps define my coils and does some moisturizing. Then I gently towel-off any drips. If you don’t already do that, give that a try and see if it helps your hair feel less dry after conditioning. Oh, and that TGIN honey mask… my hair’s generally not a fan of honey, and that might also be part of your hair’s problem. For some reason, honey’s the only humectant that seems to make my hair cuticles stay lifted/open, which makes my strands catch and snag on one another (hello tangled mess) and lose moisture. I don’t have this problem with aloe vera, or at least not as big a problem. Last time I tried TGIN’s mask, it didn’t play nice with my hair because of this.
