If you have frizzy hair, you probably already know how hard it can be to tame and manage. When hair becomes dry, it can increase the frizzy tendencies of curly, and otherwise, hair. You may think that you are doing everything you can to control it, but are you really taking all of the steps needed to fight the frizzy hair syndrome? There are five basic things you can do to help tame your frizzy hair.
01. Did you know, you might be washing your hair too often? If you are shampooing your hair more than twice a week, you are probably washing it too much. For best results, it is recommended that you wash only once or twice a week, and use conditioners after each wash.
02. Leave in conditioners help keep your hair moisturized throughout the day. If you do not have access to leave-in conditioners, you can use a little bit of your regular conditioner, but do not make a habit of it. Over time, using regular conditioner as leave-in conditioner will pull it down and make your hair dull and lose its shine.
03. Tangles become a big problem with curly and frizzy hair. The best way to detangle your hair is to do it while you are still in the shower, and your hair is still wet. Run your fingers through it to get out the large tangles, and then use a wide tooth comb to comb through the rest of it. Small tooth combs are more apt to breaking apart hair and causing more frizz. Combing your hair while it's dry also creates more frizz.
04. The best way to dry your hair to avoid frizz is by air dry. Blow drying should be avoided at all costs. It pulls all of the moisture out of your hair, and pushes strands apart, creating more frizz. To avoid frizzy hair, pat your hair dry with a towel, but do not rub it. Rubbing also pulls strands of hair apart and causes frizzy hair. If you don't have time to wait for it to dry, patting it dry and then putting it up in a bun will allow it to dry while it's up, and when you take it down, you won't have the problem with frizz.
05. It is important to take care of your hair. Deep conditioning at least once a month can keep the moisture in and the frizz at bay. Get a trim frequently to get rid of the split ends so that they don't make their way further up to the roots. A healthy diet can also help keep your hair healthy, shiny, and frizz free.
