3 Best Products for Natural Hair That Gets Frizzy Before It Even Dries
by Team CurlyNikki
Have you ever cried in frustration while doing your hair? I have. Many times. Especially when I know the whole thing has gone left. There’s a special kind of, “WHY, I NEVER”, in seeing frizz while your hair is still wet… that’s when it’s supposed to be at its peak form.
Natural hair can feel like a never-ending science experiment or like climbing a mountain, and your gear just isn’t doing the job anymore. If you feel like your old products are slipping, and nothing is working, and you can tell just by looking at your product-laden, wet hair, that it’s not going to set right… let us help you out.
| Pick | Best for | Hold | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Doux BLOCK PARTY Anti-Humidity Defining Gel | Humidity + early frizz | Firm | $16.99 |
| Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic | Slip + curl clumping | Firm | $26.99 |
| Innersense I Create Hold | Structured definition | Firm | $28 |
BLOCK PARTY: when humidity is already in the room
The Doux BLOCK PARTY Anti-Humidity Defining Gel may be what you need, but you have to take your time and apply to clean, wet hair, in small sections and dry COMPLETELY for this to work. That last part matters most. If we keep fluffing, scrunching and checking the curls every four minutes, we are helping the frizz arrive before schedule lol.
Curly Magic: when clumping is the issue
Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic is a slippery aloe-based gel made for wet styling. You apply it to soaking wet hair and finger comb through in sections just like Block Party. If you strands need help clumping this is the product to try!
I Create Hold: when we want firmer structure
Innersense I Create Hold is a concentrated aloe-and-honey gel with firm hold. A little goes a loooooong way. Apply to wet sections, smooth through, and let the cast do its job before deciding the hair feels “too hard.” A cast can be softened after the style is fully dry (often all you have to do is manhandle the curl a bit- pull down to release the crunch!); frizz, on the other hand, cannot be put back into the bottle.
Takeaway: If the hair is frizzing before it dries, stop touching it long enough to learn whether the product failed or our hands did.
CurlyNikki says: If it’s humid, I’m just not wearing my hair out OR I’m rocking a wash and go that is not based on definition, just my natural, care-free, free-spirited mane. I care more about moisture and health than anything. Usually, if the conditions are less than ideal, my hair is under a cap, in a bun, or in twists!
