If your lovely locks have a tendency to run wild with frizz, you may
be annoyed enough to feel like pulling them out. That “finger in a light
socket” look is what you find yourself having if you so much as
subjected your hair on a humid day, combed your hair, or dried your hair
after a shower. You can do something to tame that wild mane of yours
and you don’t even have to spend a lot of money.
It is said that there are three layers comprising your hair shaft,
with the external layer not being a solid, sleek surface. Rather, this
layer contains small cells overlapping each other. Ideally, these
overlapping cells should lay perfectly smooth. Frizzy hair happens when these cells lift, making your hair kink, curl, and get stiff.
Frizzy hair is generally dry. Dry, frizzy hair
may be tamed with intense conditioning, moisturizing shampoos and
conditioners, and even overnight oil treatments. Do not wash your hair
too frequently. Repeated washing dries out the hair and disturbs the
cuticle layer. When you do wash it, use lots of conditioner and
thoroughly blot hair dry.
When it comes to your war against the frizz, hair styling products
are either your best friend or worst enemy. If you’ve got truly dry
hair, use a light-weight, leave-in conditioner. Also you can try using
regular conditioner. Get a very small amount and mix it with water
before massaging it into your hair after a shower. But whatever you do,
be sure to keep the conditioner away from the roots.
You will find anti-frizz products that have silicone. This ingredient
can smoothen hair, but it’s also a dirt magnet so your hair will no
doubt dull fast. You are better off making use of anti-frizz products
that have moisturizers or oil in them rather than silicone. If you’d
like to use aerosols and gels to manage your frizzy hair, be cautious
with your choice. Any stiffening product, by necessity, gets rid of the
natural flexibility of hair. If you ever have to use these hair
products, pick those labeled flexible or gentle.
A straightening iron is a widely used tool for treating frizzy hair.
Nonetheless, don’t be tempted. Heat from straightening irons causes
damage to the inner and outer layers of hair shafts. It also weakens the
hair and leads to split ends. What’s more, a straightening iron really
doesn’t tame the frizz. If you feel you need to straighten you hair, try
to look for non-damaging serums or special shampoos. You could also
turn those taut, frizzy curls into gentle, sleek waves with a gentle
setting lotion and several large rollers.
Visit your hairdresser for a hair trim every 6 to 8 months. This is
very important especially when your hair is subjected to heat (whether
environmental heat or heat from styling tools). This eliminates all
split ends, which play a role in frizz. You may additionally want to
consider consuming a high protein diet or using hair products that
contain protein. Protein helps to fortify the hair shafts, making hair
less prone to damage. Honestly, you just need to start eating properly
and refrain from over styling your hair. You can win over frizz.
