@curlsbykath: Wet frizz reasons and solutions ⬇️ 1. Product buildup. Minerals, hard water, stylers all build up eventually. Fix: Clarify with a strong detox shampoo monthly (or more depending on how much product you use, if you swim regularly, etc). Products mentioned: - K18 Peptide Prep  Detox Shampoo (@k18hair) - Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance (Clarifying) Shampoo (@olaplex) - Noughty Detox Dynamo Clarifying Shampoo (@sogooditsnoughty) 2. Hair not wet enough when styling**.** In a warm room (or with heating on or if your styling takes a while), hair starts to dry mid-styling, so your curls don’t clump properly. Fix: Apply all your stylers, then add with water and scrunch to smooth and encourage curl clumping. 3. Not enough conditioning agents. Leave-ins or creams help seal down the cuticle, boost curl definition and shine, and help curl retention over the coming days.

Moving around too much while drying. Flipping your head, excessive motion = frizz. I like pixie diffusing, but no matter what you do, just move gently and you’ll avoid excessive frizz. 5. Protein-heavy products / “protein overload” — It’s not totally scientifically proven that too much protein makes hair dry, but it can feel that way for some, and certain products I’ve used that make a lot of protein claims have had a drying effect, though this could be down to ingredients so there’s no way to tell. Also there are loads of different types of proteins, so don’t take this as “all proteins will dry my hair out”, i LOVE protein. Fix: Clarify first to start from scratch, then use moisturising leave-ins + creams like I said in point 3. If you have any questions just ask! All products gifted with no obligation to post.
