I have really curly hair also and I used to wear it straight all the time until I finally found a way for my hair not to go frizzy
When I wash it i put LOADS of condtioner on it specially concentrating on the roots, ends and front and brush it while its still got conditioner on. I leave this on my hair for about 10mins then wash out.. leaving a bit in so it still feels soft (not too much that its slimey or drys hard though)
While its wet I use a bit of "shockwaves curl it mousee" (though the other shockwaves mousses work just as well) and leave to dry naturally into curls (is you use a bit too much mousse the curls will be defined but hard - some people like it like this but i prefer them to look softer and more natural.. just trial and error to see how much you like on) and the frizz is usaullly kept away all day haha
I like my hair to look as big as possible so I blow dry it ( i know a lot of people say don't blow dry curly hair but I find it doesnt go frizzy if you use enough product)
If I don't wash my hair that day I don't brush as the curls are usaully still nice and brushing would make it frizzy and I jsut spray on a bit of leave in conditioner :)
hope that helps xxxx

If you have afro hair (an opposed to hair that looked like an afro) then perhaps some of the specialist treatments for afro hair would be best.

My hair is fine and curly/wavy and can go frizzy if I don't dry it properly (if I blast it with the hairdryer it goes frizzy) and if I don't wash my hair daily it gets curlier and sits on top of my head like an afro.

Aussie products are good and they smell good too.

Good luck.

Thank you both! Will try your suggestions! :) x

I use the John Frieda Frizz Ease range, and really like it. I use their Curl Around shampoo, and their curly mousse. conditioner makes my hair flat and lifeless.

for best results, dry with a diffuser.

and shame on you for straightening your hair ;o)
