Although you may feel that your hair will be dirty if you don't
wash it every morning while you shower, others are very unlikely
to notice. Only greasy hair will show signs of being unwashed
after one day and frizzy hair is rarely greasy. On the contrary,
the fact that you're stripping away your hair's natural oils is
the most likely cause of your frizz problem. Leave your hair for
3-4 days between washes.
* DO use conditioner
Try to find a moisturizing conditioner
and use it after every
wash. It's really worth paying a little extra for a good quality
conditioner and if you can't afford both a good shampoo and a good
conditioner, put the extra money into the conditioner.
* DO give your hair an intensive hot oil treatment
About once every third wash (if you're sticking to the 3-4 day
washing guide), use a leave-in intensive conditioner
on your hair.
This will help replace any natural oils that your hair has lost
due to the abrasive cleaners in shampoo and your hair being
exposed to the elements (sun, wind etc).
* DO NOT use chemicals on your hair
Those who are unhappy with their hair have a tendency to color
it
and use all sorts of other chemicals in a vain hope of somehow
making it look better. The truth is, these chemicals are just
adding to your problem. If your hair has a tendency to frizz, keep
away from unnecessary chemical products.
* DO NOT expose your hair to the elements
Sun and wind will both dry your hair causing excessive frizzing.
Try to wear a scarf or hat to cover your hair whenever you're in
the sun and especially if you know you're going to be spending a
lot of time outdoors. A scarf will also protect against wind
damage. You might also consider buying hair products that protect
against UV rays (they have a SPF - Sun Protection Factor).
* DO have your hair cut regularly
Those with frizzy hair will probably be happier with a short style
but whatever you choose, it's important you visit your hairdresser
regularly as split ends will only add to the problem.
* DO try to keep your hair dry
Damp air leads to frizz. Unfortunately, we can't always ensure
that our hair will stay dry but if you think it might rain, carry
an umbrella. There are some really funky looking brollies around
these days so they won't cramp your style.
* DO NOT use heated styling tools
Hair dryers, straightening irons
and curling
tongs all damage the
hair and should be avoided as much as possible. If you MUST use
them, always use a protective product on your hair beforehand. If
you're uncertain of the kind of product you'd need, ask your hair
dresser for advice.
* DO use anti-frizz products
Products such as frizz-ease aren't just another way of getting you
to part with your money. Although they'll never completely
eliminate the problem, they really do help decrease it. However,
it's important that you stick with the other tips, too. Using
anti-frizz products alone simply isn't enough.
To
Use styling cream
Keep frizzy hair in check, you need a styling cream. Just a few drops will
do and finish off a great hairstyle. Simply rub the cream in your palms to
warm it up then palm it from the middle of your hair down to the ends. Be gone
frizzies!
Apply coconut oil in hair
Tame your frizzy hair by rubbing coconut oil into your hands
and
applying sparingly onto your hair. You don't want to overdo it -
too much will make your hair look greasy. Shampooing
your hair
less frequently also helps with the frizzies. Excess shampooing
strips natural oils from the hair.
