Can't blow dry without frizz!!!

in Hair Type 3
Does anyone have some advice on how to blow dry 3b hair without ending up with frizzy sections? I want to avoid using a straightener, as I'm already using heat with the hair dryer, but after blow drying I usually have to run a straightener over a few frizzy sections of my hair (generally the top layer). I shampoo and condition with Aveda and use Biolage spray on heat protectant. Does anyone have any products/advice on how I can blow out my hair and avoid the straightener after!? Thanks.

This method has worked pretty well for me. I can't let my hair air dry, because I lose all my volume and I like my hair kinda big.
Afterwards, if it still looks a tad frizzy, try some shine spray, or smoothing a finishing cream over the top layer.
I may be alone in this....but I think a little bit of frizz in curly hair is ok. When there is absolutely NONE I feel like you get that wet look, which I'm personally not a fan of.

I do use a diffuser. I think it's great- I can't blow dry my hair without it. I think you're right Jenny, curly hair is always going to have a bit of friz. It's only natural. I have also tried smoothing creams and shine serums. After blow drying my hair and working product into it (and quickly running a straightener over various portions) it always ends up looking great anyway. Guess I'll have to deal with a little friz.
Thanks!

I keep the blow dryer low and sometimes I even have it on cool and I keep it in one section for about a minute.
I blow dry it until it is about sixty or seventy percent dry because if I dry my hair any more it gets frizzy. If my hair is already frizzy I put a small amount of leave-in in my hair and I usually don't have too much frizz.
