7 Ways to Make Your Crown Area Frizz Free + Tackle Baby Hair

Many a times, your curls look perfect from your ear down but the crown area looks unruly with baby hair strands sticking out. The baby hair strands can either be broken hair or new ones sprouting.

Here are some tips to control crown frizz :

1) Condition and detangle your crown area also – Bottles ask to avoid scalp because they are targeted at straight haired people whose hair can get weighed down making their scalp look flat. How to wash & condition curly hair(similarly if you are a curlie whose crown is flat, you may want to avoid applying conditioner on scalp).

2) Leave some conditioner in the scalp area – Do this only if this isn’t making your crown look flat

3) Graze leave in and gel over your crown – After applying products, graze/smooth some leave in and gel on your crown. I love doing this on day 2 or 3 also, especially when putting it up in a bun. I love Devacurl gel for this since it doesn’t form a strong cast. You can also use aloe vera gel or other gels.

4) No rubbing with towel. I have already mentioned this in the routine – How to dry curly hair

5) Prevent hair breakage – Detangle gently and avoiding pulling on hair. This will prevent baby hair strands caused due to breakage – 2 ways to detangle curly hair – dry and wet detangling

6) Sleep on a silk pillow –  Why sleeping on silk is good for curly hair

7) Protect hair from sun – Sun can cause frizz and damage especially since the crown is the part that’s directly hit by the sun. Make sure you use a scarf, hat or umbrella when you are out in the sun.

Hope that helps!
