How in the world did she get those rizos to corporate so well? They were smooth, soft, shiny and–most importantly–frizz-free!

It's about time J.Lo showed off her curly hair on American Idol. The singer and judge looked absolutely flawless last week during the 14th season's kickoff. She normally opts for sleeker, straighter styles. What stood out to me the most was how shiny and frizz-free those curls looked. Interested in her look?

Use a cleansing conditioner
Start off by washing with a sulfate-free cleansing conditioner. This helps keep curls hydrated and prevents frizz. I'm obsessed with DevaCurl No-Poo ($20). It's the best out there!
Do a deep treatment
Keep effortlessly smooth and manageable curls, do a deep conditioning treatment before styling. Try Carol's Daughter Marula Curl Therapy Softening Hair Mask ($24).
Try a leave-in
I always recommend using a lightweight leave-in treatment to help seal in moisture. Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner ($23) is my favorite.
Work in a curl cream
A curl cream helps keep curls soft instead of stiff and crunchy. Try SheaMoisture Coconut Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk ($10).
Use curl clips
Before air-drying or diffusing, add flat clips to help lift your roots. I like DevaClips ($14). They're super easy to use and get the job done.
Use a diffuser
For big curls like J.Lo's, add a diffuser attachment, like Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Universal Finger Diffuser ($11) to your blow dryer and dry on low to medium settings. This helps pump up the volume.
Refresh curls
Revive mid-day curls with Ouidad Botanical Boost Moisture Infusing Refreshing Spray ($17). It's super lightweight, so don't worry about it weighing down your rizos.
Use spray bottle
Or you can just carry a small Neon Mist Spray Bottle ($3). A little bit of water does the trick too!
Tame those baby hairs
Keep those baby hairs on check with SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow & Restore Edge Treatment ($13).
