Frizzy roots on Natural Hair...Any tips?

[MissFallon]

My roots are frizzy but the length of my hair isn't. I have tried almost everything to keep my roots smooth but they always frizz up and look funny cuz the ends of my hair are smooth and nice looking. What can I do about this? Anyone else have this problem?

bumping...cuz I know I can't be the only one with this problem

i use gel on my roots
and that usually calms the frizzies down

yeah I have the same problem...I once used the Garnier Fructis wax...it worked pretty well...I can't say it lasted though....I hope someone else can answer this question too.

I would try a super thick, alcohol-free gel (if you're wearing a "wet style" like a wash n go, or if your hair is in a bun or pony). I really love Fantasia IC gel.

But if your hair is being worn in a straight style, I would try a pomade, especially one containing castor oil, as that is known to combat frizzies.

Sometimes I like to mix a little coconut oil with castor oil together and apply a small amount to my roots or a butter based (shea, avocado, mango) product, some of the faves are Elasta QP Mango, Qhemet Biologics heavy cream, etc. HTH

when I was natural, I would mist the root with water and add aloe vera gel and wear a scarf for a while or overnight

I sometimes wear my hair parted down the middle, gathered into a pony/puff. On those days, I:

part my damp/moist, detangled hair
apply Fantasia Frizz Buster Straightening Gel
brush it through (might be a no-no for some)
gather the hair into a pony/puff
gel the edges and brush to smooth
spray Surge 14 into my palms and apply to gelled hair

I've been doing this for at least a year and it's worked very well at taming the frizzies!

I haven't decided what I'm going to use to replace the Surge once my supply runs out.

are you talking about when you wear your hair straight or in its natural state?
Maybe it could be a sign of heat damage?
