The Best Curly Hair Products For Reducing Frizz

Curly hair is beautiful, unique, and full of personality, but it often comes with its own set of challenges, with frizz being one of the most common. At Only Curls, we understand the struggle of managing frizz while maintaining the health and vibrancy of your curls. That's why we've compiled a list of the best curly hair products for reducing frizz. Whether you have tight coils or loose waves, these products will help you achieve smooth, defined curls.

Before diving into the products, it's essential to understand why curly hair tends to frizz. Curly hair is naturally drier than straight hair because the natural oils from the scalp have a harder time traveling down the twists and turns of the spiral hair shaft. This dryness makes curly hair more prone to frizz, especially in humid conditions when moisture from the air causes the hair shaft to swell.

Our Hydrating Curl Creme is a game-changer for anyone struggling with frizz. Infused with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and marula oil, this creme provides lovely moisture and defines curls without weighing them down. The lightweight formula ensures your curls stay bouncy and frizz-free all day long.

How to Use: Apply a small amount to soaking wet hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Scrunch your curls to enhance definition and follow with one of our Gels to add hold and definition.

A nourishing conditioner is crucial for curly hair, and our All Curl Conditioner is specifically formulated to combat frizz. It contains argan oil and jojoba oil, which hydrate and smooth the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and increasing shine.

How to Use: After shampooing with our All Curl Cleanser, apply generously to your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

Our Enhancing Curl Gel is perfect for defining curls while keeping frizz at bay. This gel is alcohol-free, ensuring it won't dry out your hair, and it contains a special blend of Avocado Oil, Kukui Nut Oil and Aloe Vera, to naturally hydrate your curls. This lightweight gel creates a softer finish with no crunch.

How to Use: Apply to wet hair after using our Hydrating Curl Creme. Scrunch your curls to enhance definition and allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser for added volume.

Do you prefer a stronger gel that creates a cast for long-lasting frizz control? Then the Mega Hold Curl Gel is for you! For those of us with more stubborn frizz, or curls that drop out easily, the Mega Hold Gel is the perfect solution. It’s slightly thicker in texture than the Enhancing Gel and creates a gel cast to minimise frizz while the hair dries. All you have to do is scrunch the hair once dry to break the cast and reveal soft, defined curls.

How to Use: Apply to wet hair after using our Hydrating Curl Creme. Scrunch your curls to enhance definition and allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser for added volume.

Do you struggle with frizz once your curls are dry? The Nourishing Hair Oil is here to help. This lightweight oil is designed to add shine and lock in moisture, so you get the perfect finish to your curls every time. You can also use the oil to refresh your curls and smooth frizz in between wash days too.

How to Use: Warm a small amount between palms and smooth over dry curls after styling for improved finish and shine.

Using the right towel can make a huge difference in reducing frizz. Regular cotton towels can be drying on curls and rough up the cuticles, resulting in increased frizz. The Only Curls Microfibre Towel is made of 100% microfibre, and the gentle fabric leaves cuticles intact for smooth, frizz-free curls.Our Microfibre Towel is designed to dry your curls gently without causing friction, which can lead to frizz. It also absorbs excess water quickly, helping to define your curls without disrupting their natural pattern.

How to Use: After washing your hair, gently squeeze out excess water with our Microfibre Towel. Avoid rubbing your hair, as this can cause frizz. You can also use our towel to plop your curls for the ultimate frizz-free results.

Protecting your curls while you sleep is essential for frizz-free mornings. Cotton pillowcases tend to dry out curls and zap the hair of moisture, which creates frizz and tangles. We recommend using a smooth fabric to protect your curls like our Satin Sleep Turban. The turban reduces friction and helps maintain moisture levels, so you wake up with smooth, defined curls. All you have to do in the morning is a quick refresh and your curls are ready for the day!

How to Use: Tip your head forward and place your hair in the Sleep Turban to protect your curls overnight. It’s really roomy, making it perfect for all curl types and lengths. For longer curls, put your hair up loosely in a pineapple with a silk scrunchie before popping on the turban.

While using the right products is crucial, here are a few additional tips to help manage frizz:

1. Consistency is key: Regular use of these products can help maintain hydration and reduce frizz over time.
2. Try deep conditioning: Our curls go through a lot so deep conditioning with a rich hair mask, like our Deep Hydration Hair Mask, can make a huge difference to your results. It also contains protein to reduce damage.
3. Apply more gel: Try the Smasters Method and apply a bit more gel when your hair is about 80% dry to combat frizz and add definition.
4. Avoid high heat: Minimize the use of heat styling tools, which can cause dryness and increase frizz. If using heat tools, apply our Heat Protect Spray to shield your hair.
5. Protect your hair: Use our Sleep Turban or, a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction while you sleep, helping to keep frizz under control. 
6. Regular trims: Keeping your hair healthy with regular trims prevents split ends, which can contribute to frizz. Check out our salon locator to find your nearest curl specialist salon.
