How To Get The Most Volume & Least Frizz, From A Pro Stylist

If you have curly or wavy hair, then you know how tempting it is to constantly run a blow-dryer and/or flat iron through your strands. See, the process of styling your natural curls can be more time consuming than many people realize—but it's certainly worth the effort. Heat harms your hair, so it's important to learn the art of the air-dry.

"My nonnegotiable step for washing my curly hair is to always use a wash and care routine that hydrates hair," Porsche explains. She often opts for a hair mask rather than a traditional conditioner. 

Her go-to mask: the Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Bond Building Mask. "What I love about this mask is that it uses a triple-action bonding complex to do multiple jobs in one: locking in moisture, strengthening and defending against breakage, and cuticle bond building," she explains. 

"The best way to let your curls air-dry without losing volume is to use styling products after you wash and condition your hair," she explains. "I recommend going in with a leave-in conditioner to keep hair hydrated and soft, and then use styling products, such as mousse or defining cream." 

"Some great ingredients to look for when you're purchasing styling products are things that you know are good for your hair, such as oil, infusions or rice complexes, and anything without parabens and sulfates," Porsche explains.
