• STEP 9: Ask for tips on care and styling. Depending on how dirty it gets, you
might need to wash it every 10 to 14 days. Store on a wig block when it's not in
use, and wipe down the inside of polyurethane-based models with rubbing alcohol
each day.

How to Care For Curly, Frizzy Hair
Did you just stick your finger into an electrical outlet? Is your hair two feet taller than
what it was yesterday? You may have caught a case of the frizz, and you need to read
below.
Instructions
• STEP 1: Choose a hairdresser experienced in curly/dry hair.
• STEP 2: Have your hairdresser help you choose a hairstyle that is easy to
maintain--preferably one that just requires a wet-and-go approach.
• STEP 3: Once you have your favored style, visit your stylist at least 4 times a
year to trim split ends.
• STEP 4: Don't let your hairstylist use a razor to layer your hair (although layering
is good.) Razors contribute to split ends.
• STEP 5: Don't wash hair every day. This kind of hair needs the natural oils from
your scalp to reduce frizz.
• STEP 6: To upkeep your desired style, just wet hair with some conditioner on
non-washing days (rinse thoroughly).
• STEP 7: Avoid using hairdryers unless necessary. Blowdrying hair dries it out.
• STEP 8: Believe it or not, grease, mousses and gels make caring for this kind of
hair harder!! Chemical build-ups require more washing than is healthy.
• STEP 9: If you must use products, use high-quality, health-food store or salon
products that leave little residue.
• STEP 10: Do not brush, unless you want a 'fro.
• STEP 11: Love your hair! Many are envious of the regal quality of curly hair!
