Speaking of hair, here are some great tips for those of you with curly or wavy hair. And how to deal with one of the greatest frustrations that come along with that — frizz! Thanks to Aveda for an easy guide on maintaining what could potentially be an unruly mane.

1. Start with the right shampoo and conditioner. Aveda offers Be Curly™ Shampoo and Conditioner to moisturize and reduce frizz to set you up for styling success.

2. Always blot wet hair dry with a towel. Don’t rub! Rubbing creates more frizz.

3. Try not to shampoo every day. The natural oils in your scalp are beneficial to the health of your hair.

4. Refresh scalp and hair style between washings. If you decide to skip a shower one morning, simply spritz hair with Aveda’s Light Elements™ Reviving Mist, scrunching as you go to revive and refresh curls.

5. Curly hair needs moisture. Use Aveda’s Be Curly™ Curl Enhancer when hair is damp and Aveda’s Be Curly™ Curl Control once hair is dry to keep curls moisturized, defined and frizz-free.

6. Blow dry hair on low speed with high heat. And use a diffuser. This gives you defined, frizz-free curls. For extra lift and volume, flip head upside down when blow drying.

7. Avoid running fingers through hair as it dries. It causes curls to separate and become frizzy.

8. Don’t brush or comb curly hair when dry. It removes curl and causes frizz.

9. Spritz curls with a firm hold hairspray to prevent frizz in humid and/or windy conditions.

10. Wrap hair in a silk scarf before bed. It helps prevent frizz while sleeping.
