Why is my hair so frizzy and poofy?

Hair can frizz because it's dry or damaged, because of humidity, or because it's been over-styled. If you have curly hair, be careful to touch it as little as possible while it dries; even scrunching can cause frizz. For thick dry hair, frizz can be caused by a lack of moisture or a result of too much bulk.
