What the heck do I do when I'm out dancing??

While I am not a big drinker, I am definitely all about going out dancing! I'm always DD so I'm usually not sitting coyly at the bars winking at strangers (ain't nothin' wrong with that though! ) but the one in the middle of the dance floor dropping it!

My problem is that by the end of the night, I get the frizz halo, even though half of it is pinned up, down, all around! I understand that if you move around as much as I do (as a mixed black, latin, Brazilian girl, I'm always moving!!) there's going to be *some* curl disruption, but my hair looks like I threw on a sheep and walked out of the house by the end of the night, in fact, I think sheep have more defines "curls" than I do! And I'm only a 3a/3b!

So, what do you, as my curly sisters, do??

I usually don't care and just let it do what it wants. Its dark anyways!

If I don't want to deal with it, I usually put it up in cute updos using bobby pins, headbands, etc

Alot of times I put it up in a ponytail. That keeps the frizz down some. My best friend though is Garnier Anti-humidity hairspray. I usually only use it lightly for regular use but when going out, I spray a little heavier to help combat the frizzies. I still get some though regardless because I get hot and that just causes instant frizz but you do what you can.

I pull it up anyway because I get so hot dancing (not to mention the heat from how packed it usually is) that I can't stand it on my neck at all. Even with it up, I usually touch it up in the bathroom with tiny bit of pomade (TINY bit, because you don't want to end up greasy). Banishes the frizz quite nicely.

Thanks! It's kind of hard to tie it back because my hair is so short, but if I do so while it's wet maybe it will behave!
