Frizzy hair can be a huge problem especially for the people with curly hair and it is one of the biggest style spoilers. Frizzy hair is a result of dehydrated cortex, which is the inner layer of the hair shaft. Frizzy hair is caused due to various things; it can be from lack of moisture to over applying the styling products. Fortunately, there are many things that can be used for taming the frizzy hair and keeping it under control. You must know how to control frizzy hair and take proper care of your hair.
Follow these simple steps for keeping your hair healthy and ensuring that your hair looks the best always.
Steps:
- The most important thing for treating frizzy hair is using the right hair care product for your hair type. The best choice for you will be a moisturizing shampoo along with a good moisturizing conditioner. A good shampoo will help you in cleansing your hair and will keep your hair looking healthy and well moisturized. These shampoos have a lot of nourishing and moisturizing content, which will intensely hydrate and restore the moisture in your hair.
- If your hair is prone to frizzing, then you must avoid washing your hair every day, because doing so will damage your hair even more. You must wash your hair twice a week for keeping it clean and healthy looking. Always rinse your hair with cold water after you have conditioned them to lock the cuticles and avoid them from frizzing.
- Cream conditioners will work best for controlling frizzy hair. They help in repairing the damaged cuticles, improve the appearance and elasticity of the hair. You must apply conditioner each time you wash hair and let it be on your hair for a couple of minutes to penetrate deeply. For frizziness, even leave-in conditioners work the best, as they keep re-hydrating the hair during the day. Always remember that you must never use oil-based conditioners as they contribute in increasing the frizz.
- You can apply a hair mask once or twice a week for nourishing and conditioning your hair. Try to look for a nourishing and conditioning hair mask, which has all natural ingredients. Apply this mask on your hair and concentrate on the ends. You can leave this mask for 15 minutes approximately and then you will have to rinse it.
- Go for a deep conditioning treatment at least twice a month for taming the frizz. A deep-conditioning will help you in restoring and repairing your hair, which will make it smooth, well-hydrated and soft.
- Try to limit blow-drying your hair to once a week. If you use blow drying, straightening or curling frequently, your hair will be damaged with increased frizziness. Always remember that you must never run the dryer up and down on your hair, because this causes frizziness and split ends. You must choose an ionic dryer as it causes very little damage on the hair.
- You can style your hair with silicone based products, but remember you must never apply too much or it will make your hair look greasy, dirty and create more frizz. There are some good anti-frizz creams, gels and serums, which helps in reducing the frizz. The de-frizzing products will help you in removing the frizz permanently and get the shine back in your hair, giving protection against humidity. You can apply these silicone products on dry or wet hair.
- Always remember that you must never brush your hair if it is prone to frizziness even if you have straight hair. Instead, you must always use a wide-toothed comb for styling your hair. If you use a hairbrush, then it may cause split ends and will make your hair even frizzier.
- You can use pomade, which is designed for curly hair to tame the frizzy effect. You must use very little amount of this and spread it evenly on the head. Apply this pomade on wet hair and style it before the hair is dry. Trim your hair regularly for avoiding frizz and split ends. Even a good haircut can help you in toning down the frizziness.
Tips and Warnings:
- Allow your hair to dry naturally, avoid using blow dryer and never use towel when your hair is wet.
- Always use hair products that suite your hair. Look for products, which contain moisturizing agents, honey, aloe vera, vitamin E, olive oil, glycerin or chamomile.
- Make sure that you apply de-frizz products on your hair before you start styling them.
