Here are 5 ways to tame frizzy hair:
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Frizzy hair is often dry hair, so giving it moisture is key. Use a conditioner every time you shampoo, and consider deep conditioning treatments once a week. You can also try natural oils like coconut or argan oil to add moisture and shine.
- Ditch the Sulfates: Sulfates are cleansing agents in shampoos that can be stripping on hair, especially for those prone to frizz. Look for a sulfate-free shampoo that will gently cleanse your hair without removing natural oils.
- Be Gentle: Rough handling can damage hair and contribute to frizz. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel after washing, instead, pat it dry gently. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle hair when wet, and avoid brushing it too much.
- Less Heat is More: Heat styling tools can be a major culprit for frizz. If you can, air dry your hair whenever possible. If you must use heat styling tools, use them on a low setting and always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand.
- Embrace the Cool Down: Hot water can also be drying for hair. Opt for lukewarm water when washing your hair, and finish with a cool rinse to help seal the hair cuticle and reduce frizz.
