Although other people seem to be slaying their thick mane of hair, like you, they probably share the same struggle - frizzy hair. So how can you fix it? By restoring moisture into those dried strands.
Dried hair is generally the cause that contributes to frizziness. It commonly results from heat or chemical exposure, over-drying shampoo (contains sulphate/ alcohol), or the bath towel that draws water out of your hair quickly.
Then, when your strands are left crying out for hydration, they attract moisture from the atmosphere, which swells the strand and give you a lion mane.
Tips to make my hair less frizzy?
1. Avoid overly-hot water
While a good hot shower is always great at the end of the day, your mane will be grateful for lukewarm water instead. It’ll prevent the temperature strips of natural oils and create frizz.
2. Say no to over-washing or over-brushing
These two will cause friction which lifts your cuticle (outer layer of hair). So, if you feel that your scalp isn’t clean enough, change shampoos. Regarding combing your hair, gently brush or separate your strands with your fingers, then brush through your hair from the bottom to the top.
3. Lower use of heated-tools
As you’ve already known, heat will cause dryness, which then causes frizziness. The next time you want to dry your hair, you can opt to air dry 90% of your hair before blow-drying. This allows you to dry without disturbing the hair strands whilst minimizing the heat damage.
If you’re in a rush, remember to have some hair serum for heat protection. Then, dry the top of your head with the hairdryer’s cool option first before casually switching to a hotter option. Make sure to also end your hair-blowing session with the cool option.
4. Avoid drying/rubbing your hair against a towel
Ah, did we not mention replacing your regular towels? Common fabrics can be quite rough on hair, so we recommend squeezing out excess water with your hands first before gently squeezing with a towel first. You can also opt for a microfibre towel or an old cotton t-shirt instead.
Above all else, ALWAYS condition your hair after shampooing. They act as a mini treatment for your hair after every wash. Here are the top conditioners that specifically battles frizziness!
