    Mixed Chicks Leave-In is great, I use their conditioners as well.

    DevaCurl AnGel is also great!

    Deva! But even Deva can't get rid of ALL frizz! I've made friends with mine & don't regret it.

    I use frizz-ease products. They make a great curl defining shampoo and conditioner, and a spray onto damp hair stuff to hold your curls.

    I have extremely thick and curly hair and have noticed that the one product that eliminates frizz without the wet look is Avon's Lotus Shield

    I use mixed chicks shampoo and an argon oil conditioner. I do not rinse my conditioner out all the way and I think that helps smooth and weigh it down so it is not so bushy. I also use a combination of a light weight hair gel and a styling cream. I mix both in my hand and then work it through. I blow dry my hair with a diffusser and I think that really cuts down on frizz too. Instead of spritzing water on your hair I would recommend rubbing a small amount of the anti-frizz cream over your dry hair to tame it down.

    Mixed Chicks ~ agreed!!! I saw it on an infomercial and I tried it. It is amazing!!!! I have very thick, curly hair and it is great! For YEARS, I kept my hair in a pony tail because I loathed my curls. I NEVER could find a product that did what it promised. Decided to order Mixed Chicks and AWESOME!! I LOVE the double takes that I get from people who are so used to seeing my pony tail! :) I get mamy compliments now concerning my curls!

    I use the MixedChics Leav-in and I also like Miss Jessie's Quick Curls. The leave-in works well when you put it in while your hair is sopping wet, and don't touch it too much while it's drying. It feels a little crinkly unitl it's fully dry, then softens up. It's also great to mix with water in a spray bottle and use for 2nd day touch-ups :) The quick curls is pricey but there is a sale for the website around Christmas, buy one get one :)

    Check out this site! www.naturallycurly.com You will LOVE it! I like different products but I think Kinky Curly Knot Today leave-in and Curling Custard are probably my favorites. I also rotate with AG Re:coil and Boot's (the pink kind you have to order from the UK but CHEAP even with shipping) For me the secret is after you put the product in LEAVE YOUR HAIR ALONE UNTIL IT DRIES. The more you mess with it the more frizz you get. When mines i almost dry I smooth coconut oil on it gently so I don't pull out the curl or make it frizz more. That REALLY helps a lot. Get the organic unrefined kind at Whole Foods or somewhere and start with just a pinch melted in your hands. It smells heavenly too!!! HTH!

    I've tried gels, creams, serums, and everything else. ha The only thing that works in my hair is mousse. I use Nexxus and have used Biolage too. Both keep it from going frizzy, especially when it's humid. I dry my hair 1/2 way and then put on the mousse. The creams work right away, but then later on in the day or on humid days it doesn't hold up. The oil based products make it look greasy and wirey.

    I chopped off all my curls earlier this year, but I always used Frizz-ease serum and weatherproof hairspray, and Aussie Dual Personality Anti-Frizz Conditioning Milk was always very good too.

    Very true on the Leaving your hair alone until it dries. :)

    When I have little money I use Nexum Leave-in. When I have more $$$ to splurge with I use Matrix Gel or Sebastian "Wet".

    Don't know how true this is, but my stylist told me years ago that leaving conditioner in your hair, even a small amounts, "rots" it (for lack of a better word). The reason for Leave-in treatments.

    Good Luck :flowerforyou:

    Also another tip I read online about 6 months ago and never even knew about before... Don't use shampoo, only conditioner. Curly hair is naturally dry and needs all the moisture it can get. And shampoo dries your hair out even more, so unless you feel like you really have to, just use conditioner.

    To achieve the look I have in my pic, I wash once with shampoo to remove oily build up and then rinse once with a conditioner and then put in a thicker conditioner and leave it in without rinsing. I then comb the hair out and seperate the curls, then leave it to dry naturally. I then spritz the hair with a water based conditioner in the evenings or the next day to maintain the look.

    And her book - Curly like Me.

    These days I have opted for the Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment aka Brazilian Blowdry. Never before in my life has my hair been so silky soft with no frizz whatsoever. I am totally in love with this treatment and love how healthy my hair feels. Can't recommend it enough.

    My sister had the brazillian blowdry, she has straight hair so it just made her hair straighter. I would love to try it. Does it relax your curls though?
