Having big, curly hair has its advantages, mainly that it's thick and just looks fun. But giving off a wild vibe and dealing with an untamed mane are two different things. Enter Devachan, New York City's go-to salon for frizzy 'dos. Here, senior stylist Julie McIntosh shares her best tips for controlling your kink.

Go Easy on the Washing
McIntosh suggests a sulfate- and paraben-free cleanser that doesn't strip hair of its natural oils, like Fellow Barber Complete Shampoo (8 oz., $22). "Don't wash your hair more than twice a week," she says. "And use a refreshing spray like DevaCurl Mist-er Right Lavender Curl Revitalizer (12 oz., $19.95) between washes."
Critical Condition
"It's all about hydration: After shampooing, massage your scalp with DevaCurl One Condition Ultra Creamy Daily Conditioner (12 oz., $19.95), which can also work as a light styling product. After rinsing, scrunch your hair with a microfiber towel to prevent frizz."
Don't Fuss Too Much
"Always work on drenched hair," McIntosh says. "Use a gel with a light hold, like Davines Curl Building Serum (8.45 oz., $26). The key is not to touch it: Just let the product air-dry."
Oil Is Your Friend
"Virgin coconut oil is great for repairing damaged hair. Mix a small amount of VMV Hypoallergenics Know-It-Oil (8.5 oz., $40) with your conditioner. Just don't overdo it, or you won't be able to get the oil out."
