how do I keep the curls w/o the frizz

I just trimmed my hair...actually cut it (with help). It's not too short, but the damaged and broken areas are no more...so now I am ready to start using all of my hair products. I bought Motions CPR line (shampoo, conditioner, and reconstructor).  Since I am no longer going to use the blow dryer or the flat iron, I want to go for a more natural style. I know I might have said what my hair iIs like-- mixed...when it's wet it gets a loose curl/wave but as soon as it starts getting dry...POOF!! It frizzes like crazy.(When I say frizz I mean like Diana Ross...seriously). I want to know if it's even possible to get that curl/wave without the frizz?  I've been wearing my hair straight for years just because I did not know how to wear it any other way and I was wondering if I could get this style without the use of heat (with the exception of light-medium heat of a hood dryer).  I seriously do not want to use that flat iron on my hair anymore as well as that dreadful blow dryer. Does anyone have advice on how I can keep my loose curls without all the crazy hair frizz??

Try using a light moisturizer or oil when your hair is wet.

I think we must have very similar hair.  My hair will get Diana Ross like in a heartbeat.  What I do is wash and condition real well.  I use creme of nature or Dove right now, then I use Pantene's smoothing comb in treatment under the smooth start line.  It works so great, sometimes too great.  I'll also use some Ausse gel or Africa's Best leave in hair mayonaise.  I'm with you on the flat ironing.  I'm trying to give that a rest for a while but I still love my hair straight also.  Hope this helps.  Any questions just holla!

You could try using a serum.

May I suggest Garnier Fructis' Smoothing Milk and Soft Curl Creme.  They're to die for! ok not literally, but they are really  nice.

The Smoothing Milk helps with frizzies and the Soft Curl Creme, does just that, defines soft curls!! 

Note:  You might still want to use a moisturizer b/c neither of these products moisturize.

Do this to your whole head and when your finished it should look kind of like you have cornrow (but twisted instead) straight back. Put a scarf on and go to sleep or put a dryer to it. When it is completly dry then take the twist out and it will stay curly and unfrizzed for days!!! Try it and see.............

That's a good idea.  I've seen this done in a hair magazine and it came out so  pretty.  I'm gonna try it.

I understand.  I get a frizz ball in a heart beat.  I just 'hate' it!  I've spent soooo much money on products, I don't know what will really work for me.  Whatever works for one person, I need 'triple strength'.
