These flattering hairdos work best for your hair texture and type. They ensure that your hairstyle stays chic and beautiful for much longer.

Before You Get Started

• Use silk or satin rubber bands: Use silk or satin hair ties and scrunchies to avoid hair breakage.
• Use Detangling Serums: Before braiding your hair, use a detangling product and thoroughly comb your hair to make the process easier.
• Oiling your hair: Oil frizzy hair twice a week before showering to nourish it. To prevent excessive dryness in your hair, use argon, castor, or jojoba oils.
• Use natural ingredients: You can make a hair mask with honey and coconut oil to hydrate your frizzy wavy hair.

53 Fantastic Hairstyles For Frizzy Wavy Hair

There are many ways you can style your frizzy, wavy hair to look absolutely gorgeous. Just make sure you have enough anti-frizz products in your arsenal and you are good to go.

Laura Clark, hair stylist, adds, “If you are looking to add hair extensions to already very curly or wavy hair make sure you get the right texture extension. A professional extension technician will make sure they do not choose a straight extension texture. This will really help as the extension will go back to its natural state after being washed, so having that same consistency will really help it look more natural with your own hair.”
