Dry your hair with a t-shirt
We are all used to drying our hair with a towel.

However, a towel separates the hairs from each other, causing frizz.

Additionally, the towel removes whatever moisture is on at the ends of your hair, thus making your hair dry.

A t-shirt however, is lighter than a towel, so it can still dry your hair meanwhile locking in moisture and reducing frizz by keeping your locks together rather than separating them.

Oil
Using oil is a great for your hair. Not only do oils define your curls, they also nourish and hydrate your hair strands.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: provides moisture and causes shine as the oil enters the hair shaft.

Grapeseed oil: Protects hair from heated hair tools such as blowdryers and flat irons and is an excellent tool for fighting dandruff.

Almond Oil: Similar to coconut oil, almond oil seals in moisture while smoothing the hair shaft.
