Have you ever spent hours styling your curls, only to step outside and—poof!—frizz takes over? I’ve been there. That battle between humidity and my hair felt never-ending. No matter what I tried, my curls would either frizz up or turn into a crunchy, weighed-down mess.
For the longest time, I thought frizz was just part of having curly hair. What I didn’t realize? Frizz isn’t the enemy—it’s just my curls telling me they need more love. Once I figured out how to actually care for my hair (instead of fighting it), everything changed.
How I Fixed It
One particularly humid morning, I caught my reflection in a café window and had to laugh—my curls had expanded into a full-blown lion’s mane. Why was this happening, even after I spent so much time styling them?
That’s when I realized: frizz doesn’t start with styling—it starts with how you wash, hydrate, and protect your curls.
Step 1: Cleansing Without Stripping Away Moisture
My first mistake? Using a shampoo packed with sulfates. I thought a deep clean was the key, but it only left my scalp squeaky clean—and my curls, dry and frizzy.
Then I switched to the Manetain Moisturising Shampoo—a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that gets the job done without stripping away natural oils.
The first time I used it, my hair didn’t feel “too clean.” It felt soft, nourished, and healthy. That’s when I knew I was on the right track.
Step 2: Hydration = Happy Curls
Frizz is just your hair’s way of screaming for moisture—and for years, I was ignoring it.
Deep conditioning wasn’t a regular part of my routine. Big mistake.
Then I tried the Manetain Multipurpose Conditioner and let it sit for a few extra minutes. My curls drank it up like water on a hot day.
The texture was rich and creamy.
The argan oil and Wavemax worked their magic.
When I rinsed it out, my curls felt smooth, bouncy, and ultra-soft.
Now, deep conditioning isn’t an occasional treat—it’s a non-negotiable.
Step 3: Say Goodbye to Crunchy, Sticky Curls
For years, I thought more product = less frizz. I layered on thick creams and oils, only to end up with heavy, greasy curls that frizzed anyway.
Then I found the perfect styling combo:
Manetain Curl Cream +
Manetain Volume Gel
The curl cream gave me soft, hydrated definition. The gel sealed it all in with zero crunch.
I used the prayer hands method, scrunched, and let it air dry. The result? Defined, frizz-free curls that held their shape—even in the Mumbai monsoon.
Step 4: Protecting My Curls While I Sleep
Here’s a game-changer: how you sleep matters.
I used to wake up with tangled, dry curls and wonder what went wrong—until I realized my cotton pillowcase was soaking up all the moisture and causing friction.
Enter: the Italian Satin Bonnet. Soft, breathable, and stylish.
Now I wake up with curls that are still defined and frizz-free, ready for the day—no extra styling needed.
The Takeaway: Love Your Curls, and They’ll Love You Back
Looking back, I realize my biggest mistake wasn’t my curls—it was how I treated them.
Once I stopped trying to “fix” frizz and started listening to what my hair needed—gentle cleansing, deep hydration, lightweight styling, and nighttime protection—everything changed.
Now, when I step outside on a humid day, I don’t panic. My curls stay soft, defined, and happy. And more importantly, I’ve stopped seeing my hair as a problem to manage—it’s a part of me I celebrate.
