Frizzy hair is an unpleasant fact of life for most of us. Genetics as well as the weather are both major factors in deciding whether or not your hair will be frizzy on any given day. But thankfully, with todays technologically advanced styling products you can tame those frizzies and have beautiful frizz free hair. Frizz is usually caused by lack of moisture. The first thing you should do is get yourself a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to use every time you wash your hair. This will help add much needed moisture to your dry locks. Next, be sure to get your hair trimmed regularly every six to eight weeks to avoid split ends. Split ends will make your hair look dull and unhealthy. Furthermore, a head full of split ends will be a frizzy mess. Another way to prevent frizz is to use a deep conditioning treatment such as a protein pac or hot oil treatment on a regular basis. Probably two or three times per week would be sufficient, depending on how dry and frizzy your hair is. Use it more often if necessary. If you need to use a blow dryer, use the coolest setting possible. Always apply a styling aid that will work with the heat of the blow dryer to protect your cuticle and lock in moisture. This will help prevent frizz. Rinsing with cool water will help to close the cuticle and amplify shine too. Rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel to dry it will definitely cause breakage making frizzy hair even worse. Squeeze or blot your hair with the towel instead. If possible, let your hair dry naturally. If you must dry it quickly, use a blow dryer as explained above. The elements, such as sun, wind, and humidity can also wreak havoc on your hair causing unmanageable frizz. Protect your hair from wind and sun with a hat or scarf. Also, use a styling aid such as a leave in conditioner with an SPF of at least 15 or greater. This will keep the sun's damaging rays from harming your hair. If frizzy hair still plagues you, try a ceramic flat iron such as the Sedu hair straightener. This styling tool seems to possess a magical ability to turn frizz into smooth, sleek, frizz free hair. The high concentration of negative ions will give your hair the softness and shine youve been looking for, completely eliminating frizz. If you follow these tips you should find that your hair will become frizz free and healthier than ever. Try them and youll see. |
