    As some with curly hair the only way to control it is to shower and wet it. Once you touch it, go out in the wind, lay down, or wear a hat it does whatever it wants.

      Water makes the curls coherent, everything else makes them incoherent, a reminder that entropy always increases. Also that makes it frizzy.

      It’s so funny, because in my case airdrying is one of the worst solutions. My hair gets very frizzy and flat while still curly. What I have to do instead is to immediately lie down with wet hair and kinda squish it against the pillow. When I wake up in the morning it’s voluminous and mostly not frizzy.

      I will have you know that untreated hard water (calcium, to be specific) also has effects.
