How to Reduce Frizz Without Losing Volume In Fine Curly Hair

I’m pretty sure I have fine curly hair, and frizz is my biggest struggle. I can only use the tiniest bit of curl cream or my hair looks greasy. I really want more volume and less frizz. What should I do?

We hear this all the time from curlfriends with fine curls.

Less frizz and more volume can feel like opposites. Smoothing frizz can flatten curls, while going for volume can bring more frizz.

The good news? Fine curls can have both. It usually comes down to using the right type of products and a few simple styling tweaks.

Here’s what helps:

1. Choose lightweight hydration instead of heavy creams
Many curl creams are made for thicker hair types and can weigh fine curls down or make them look greasy. Fine curls typically do better with lightweight leave-ins or lightweight stylers that smooth frizz without coating the hair.

2. Use a medium-hold styler for frizz control and lift
Frizz often happens when curls don’t have enough structure. A flexible, medium-hold styler helps curls stay defined, resist humidity, and hold their shape, which supports both volume and smoothness.

3. Apply products on very wet hair and use less than you think
Fine curls need even distribution, not more product. Applying on soaking-wet hair and using gentle smoothing or glazing techniques helps reduce frizz while keeping curls light and bouncy.
