   I just discovered naturallycurly.com and I wish I had found you sooner! I just learned about not using a terrycloth towel and used a t-shir to dry my hair just this week and have noticed a difference already. I switched back to a no-lather shampoo and leave-in conditioner and I am experimenting with different products formulated for my hair (3B). I am so tired of having the frizzies. I also located a stylist on your site who is in my area and made an appointment with someone who specializes in cutting curly hair. I am looking forward to showing off my curls instead of battling with them. Thank you for such an informative forum!

   I would suggest not using a microfiber towel - it is so absorbant that it tends to dry out the ends of the hair too much - but a cotton t-shirt is the best! And never a terry towel as it is so rough it will cause frizzies. My curly Girl method stylist passed this tip on to me.

   I have a satin pillowcase myself (a good friend of mine got her mother to make me one for Christmas), but you can also use a satin night-cap. It might look kinda funny, but it works.

   When applying leave-in conditioners and anti-frizz serums, make sure to focus them on the topmost layers and even more so the ends of the hair, since that is where most frizz takes place.

   Good luck!
