Hairstyles for Frizzy Gair
First of all, avoid short haircuts. They will just accentuate the frizz. You should also avoid hairstyles with too many layers. Never get a blunt cut, because it will make it extremely poofy towards the bottom.
Instead, let your hair grow long and it will become more defined and less frizzy with the weight.
You can pull your hair in a half pony (half up and half down) and then take your hair and put it in a bun, with some hair falling down.
Try medium haircuts with side swept bangs, and light layers just below your chin.
