Many people with straight hair look enviously at people with frizzy hair. It may seem tricky, but it is possible to turn your straight hair into a luxurious, full head of frizzy hair by getting a perm. You can also do this at home by braiding your hair. With a perm, you get frizzy hair with tighter curls, while braiding gives you frizzier hair. The best way to decide which method is best for you is to determine which style you want.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Get started

1. Choose which style of frizzy hair you want. When you know how you want to make your frizzy hair look, you can find out the best method to try this haircut. Figure out whether you should grow or trim your hair for your desired style. If you need to get your hair trimmed, it's best to do it ahead of time so that you have less hair to make frizzy hair.
2. Cut your hair to the desired length or let it grow. To get frizzy if you have straight hair, start with hair that's at least 4 to 6 inches long. Your hair should be long enough to put braids or curlers in it. If your hair is longer than 12 inches, you may want to trim your hair if you want frizzy hair that stays straight.
3. Wash your hair with your regular shampoo. Rinse your hair thoroughly. It is important to start with clean hair without natural fats. Clean hair is also easier to work with if you're doing braids or curlers.

Method 2 of 3: Take a perm

1. Have a hairdresser perm your hair. Check out which techniques your hairdresser uses. Watch him or she put the curlers in your hair. Notice how long the chemicals should be in your hair. With this information, you can buy a set from the store for perming your hair and give yourself a perm safely at home.
2. Ask for the smallest curlers possible. Your hairdresser will use some plastic curlers to give you a perm. Small curlers are best for getting frizzy hair as tight as possible. If the curlers are too big, your perm will only give you wavy hair instead of the frizzy hair you want.
3. Wait a few days to get it permanently absorbed. Do not wash or comb your hair for two days after getting it perm. By doing this, the effects of the perm will last longer and keep your hair healthy.
4. Comb your curls with a coarse frizzy comb to separate them. The goal is to loosen the curls just enough so that you can backcomb your hair.
   • You can also use your fingers to gently separate the curls.
5. Comb the curls through them backcombing with a fine comb. This way you separate the curls even further and your hair looks even more like frizzy hair.
   • Hold a small section of hair taut with your fingers. By using smaller strands you get more volume in your hair, but it also takes longer to finish.
   • Use a fine-tooth comb to gently comb the hair down towards your scalp. Apply just enough pressure to tangle your hair a bit, but not enough to break your hair.
   • Repeat the process until the pick has the desired volume.
6. Style your frizzy hair. Put your combs away. Shape your frizzy hair with your hands and a frizzy comb. Only use hairspray if it is really necessary to set your hairstyle. Curly hair dries quickly, so you can regularly apply shea or coconut butter to help keep your hair moisturized and shiny.

Method 3 of 3: Braiding your hair

1. Divide your hair into at least 6 to 8 equally sized sections from your forehead to your neck. Use a comb to separate the strands neatly. If your hair is slightly damp, you will be able to work with it more easily.You can use hair ties or barrettes to keep the sections apart after you make them.
2. Make a French braid in each section with hair. Ask for help if you are having a hard time making French braids in your own hair. You'll be done faster with two pairs of hands. Depending on how many sections you braid, this step can take several hours, so you can probably use the help and company.
   • If your braid is thicker than an inch, you will need to cut the width in sections. With braids that are too thick, you will only get wavy hair. Make smaller sections with tighter braids to give yourself as full of frizzy hair as possible.
3. Wet your hair again and apply a hair styling product to it. Use a fixative lotion or mousse that gives your hair volume to get firm curls that will stay in your hair for a long time.
   • To make this step easier, you can make a mixture of 20% fixing lotion or gel and 80% water and soak the braids in the mixture.
4. Cover your hair with a satin scarf until it is dry.
   • Start with wet or damp hair before going to sleep and you'll be ready to finish your frizzy haircut when you get up in the morning.
   • If you don't want to wait, you can use a hair dryer to make the braids dry faster.
5. Get the braids out of your hair. Make sure the braids are completely dry before removing them from your hair. If you seem to have tangles in your hair, apply a moisturizer like shea butter or coconut butter to the remaining braids to make the rest of the process easier.
6. Tangle your hair with your fingers. If you have long hair, bend over and let the weight of your hair and gravity help with the process. Your hair should have a lot more curls than before.
7. Divide the six to eight sections each into four separate sections. To do this, use a fine-toothed comb and treat one section at a time. Making smaller sections that you can backcomb will give your hair more volume than using larger sections.
8. Gently backcomb the four sections with hair until you have the desired frizzy hair style. Using a fine-tooth comb, gently comb your hair from the ends to the scalp to separate the hairs from the section. This way you get tangles in your hair that give your frizzy hair more volume. Continue this until you find your hairstyle full enough.
   • Do not apply too much pressure when backcombing. You don't want to break her off, of course.
9. Set your hair with a hair styling product, if necessary. You only need a little bit of hairspray to keep your frizzy hair in shape. You can bring a frizzy comb with you to keep your hair tangle-free and look beautiful wherever you go.

Tips

• If you want to use hair styling products, try to choose natural products that will not damage your hair.
• If you want to have cornrows, you will have to divide your hair into smaller sections and make French braids in them.
• Rub a few drops of jojoba or olive oil into your hair to keep it soft if it is rough or very dry.
• If you want to make your perm last longer, don't use silicone shampoos. Only use shampoo and conditioner intended for chemically treated hair.
• Sleep with your hair loose and don't comb it for a few days. You can also leave the cornrows in your hair for a week as long as they are not too tight or too loose.

Warnings

• Do not experiment with hair styling products if you are not sure if they work well.
• Perming and backcombing your hair can seriously damage it.
• Be extra careful if you leave cornrows in your hair for an extended period of time (overnight should be fine). If the sebaceous glands in your scalp aren't producing enough sebum, you'll need to use quite a bit of oil (like jojoba oil) to stay safe. If you don't, your cornrows will contract when they get wet while swimming, in the rain, or in the bath or shower. You may experience severe skin irritation and in rare cases your scalp may tear.
• If your hair doesn't curl strongly, it won't do this on its own.
