Frizzing can be particularly prevalent in those with naturally curly or wavy hair.

The word "frizzing" is derived from the verb "frizz", which has its origins in the Middle French word "friser". In turn, "friser" comes from the Old French word "frisier", meaning "to curl hair". The Old French term ultimately traces back to the Latin word "crispus", meaning "curly" or "wavy". Thus, over time, "frizzing" developed as a term to refer to the process or act of styling or creating frizzy or curly hair.
