Shampoo less. This is generally a good rule for curly or thick hair, because it tends to be dry in texture. When you do lather up, look for a moisturizing shampoo/conditioner that is specifically designed to hydrate curls and fight frizz – it will help you out with your later steps. A leave-in-conditioner can help to lock moisture in and keep your hair soft and protected.

Fight Frizz. It is important to seal your cuticle so that extra moisture from the air can’t get in. Rake a nickel size drop of smoothing serum through wet hair, paying special attention to the ends. For thicker hair, look for something with silicone that will help calm and hold down strays. If you have thin hair look for a lighter, water-based product that won’t be too heavy.

Dry With Style. It’s a good idea to let your hair air dry because the less you touch curls the better they look – that means don’t go bananas with towel drying, it’s only going to create damage and more frizz. Instead, try twisting large sections around your forefinger and hold for 10 seconds to let the twist set. If you’re short on time, it’s okay to use a diffuser. Just be sure that hair is completely dry before heading out, or else your curls can end up looking fuzzy.
