Alrighty! I am mulatto. For those who don't know that's just fancy talk for saying, I'm an oreo. Half black and half white. I love my hairs natural texture. After I get out of the shower the curls are perfect and adorable. I would love to wear them... but my hair drys so quickly and it frizzes... especially in the back it starts to get dried out and feel coarse... I have tried multiple things... I need a way to get rid of frizz and keep the curls intact.

I am the exact same thing. Except my hair takes the entire day to dry! Shower curls are always the best. Try to use hot oil treatments! Make sure to condition a bit before hand! Also try curl enhancing smoothie by Shea moisture! It always helps my curls stay defined! You can try the Curly Girl method aswell! Which number/letter are your curls most like? You can find more info on how to care for your hair type just by googling it! Like for me it would be "how to keep 3A curls moisturized and defined"

My hair is a mix of 2B and 3A. My hair sounds exactly like yours. When I'm in the shower the curls are beautiful, but 5 mins after I get out, my hair is almost completely dry, and frizzy. The 2b curls stay wet and keep their shape, while the 3A girls in the middle feel super dry and coarse. I use the HE hello hydration conditioner, and it keeps my curls so soft and beautiful. Then I take a little bit of the cantu Shea leave in, and a drop of castor oil, and work it all through my hair to seal in the moisture. Then I work a bit of the kinky curly gel into my curls. This way my hair stays soft and frizz free.. I know it's not good for my hair, but I put a little bit of the tresseme climate control mousse on the coarser part of my hair that doesn't want to curl up with regular products, it's the only thing I found to work.

Isabel I swear it's my HG. It makes my hair oh so soft, 😊 I'm going to try the Shea curl enhancing smoothie soon.
