Less frizz starts with the right routine. If you've been quietly struggling with frizz, piling on product after product and still not loving your curls, now is a good time to get expert guidance. Before you buy another bottle, meet Meaghan, a curl specialist at Curl Evolution who will take the guesswork out of your curly hair routine.
Meet Meaghan: Curl Specialist on Long Island

"I started cosmetology school at BOCES in 11th grade."
Today she specializes in curls. She loves transforming curls with the right products for each texture, and she enjoys color services that highlight and enhance the natural beauty of curls. In her own words:
"I love helping clients feel confident and embrace their natural curls."

The Biggest Curly Hair Problem Meaghan Sees: Frizz
Ask Meaghan what holds most curly clients back, and her answer is simple:
"Not applying products well and having frizzy hair."
Frizz usually isn't a sign that you need more products. It's a sign that your products aren't going on the right way. That's why Meaghan focuses on three things with every client:
- The right products for your curl type and texture
- The right amount, so curls are coated evenly without being weighed down
- The right technique, so you can recreate your results at home
Meaghan's #1 Tip for Less Frizz
Stylist tip from Meaghan: "Water! Make sure you put on your product soaking wet."
Applying your styler to soaking wet hair helps product spread evenly through every curl clump, so curls form together instead of separating into frizz. If your hair is already half dry when you start styling, try applying in the shower next time and see the difference.
