Frizzy Hair Care – 5 Tips to Manage to better haircare routine

When you’re born with frizzy hair, you probably live by the ‘frizzy hair, don’t care’ anthem. And while it’s great to embrace your natural hair texture, we’re sure there’s a part of you that has always wondered ‘what if?’ Well, we’re here to answer that for you. 

There are several temporary fixes for frizzy hair and while we’re sure you’ve tried those, we’re here with solutions that could not only help get rid of the frizz but also the dryness that accompanies it. You can start by asking yourself: 

How do I stop my hair from being frizzy?

There’s no right method for this. There are several frizzy hair treatments you could opt for that will give you effective results for a limited period of time. If you want long-lasting results, you will have to be consistent with scheduling appointments. However, if you would like to try DIY methods for frizz control, here are a few things that could help depending on your hair type, of course. 

1. Overnight braids
2. Silk pillowcase
3. Microfiber towel 
4. Wide-tooth comb
5. Regular oiling 

Here’s how these simple techniques can help maintain frizzy hair in the long run.

1. Braid your hair overnight 

The leading cause of overnight frizz is friction. When you go to bed with your hair left open, it tends to rub against itself and the pillow. This friction could disrupt your hair follicles leading to breakage and split-ends over time. The best way to avoid this is to tie your hair into neat and tight braids before going to sleep. If you ever want to rock the ‘just out of bed look’, try this technique and thank us later. 

2. Sleep on a silk pillowcase 

Aside from the fact that you’ll feel your lying on cotton candy, a silk pillowcase offers more than just comfort. Unlike a cotton pillowcase, a silk or satin one causes less friction between your hair and the pillow. Additionally, it’s also great for your skin – causing lesser acne and breakout. This will help keep away the frizz and you’ll wake up to gorgeous mane every morning.

3. Invest in a microfiber towel 

The logic behind the pillowcases applies to towels, too. Cotton towels tend to be harsh on your hair, causing friction, tangles, breakage and even split ends in the long run. On the contrary, microfiber towels are gentler on your hair and absorb water quickly, making them the perfect material of choice for frizz control without causing further damage to your tresses. 

4. Use a wide-tooth comb

Choosing the right hair brush can either make or break (pun intended) your hair health. Brushes which have close-set teeth or rough bristles can tug at your hair strands, causing breakage and damage to your mane in the process. Combing your hair with a wide-tooth comb or a brush with gentle bristles can help with frizziness and evenly distribute natural oils on your scalp for healthy hair growth. 

5. Oil your hair regularly 

Listening to your grandma in this one situation could actually prove useful to you. Applying oil to your scalp, at least once a week and leaving it on overnight, helps maintain your hair quality, boosts hair growth, and prevents breakage. It also helps with frizz control. Plus a good head massage helps with blood circulation and keeps you calm and relaxed. Additionally, you could also use a hair serum post-wash while your hair is a bit wet to help nourish and protect it from frizz, leaving you with glossy mane. You could also apply a few pumps once your hair is dry to keep it moisturised and frizz-free. 

While you’ve got the lowdown on frizz control, here are some additional things to reme mber for a healthy haircare routine.

What calms frizzy hair? 

When your hair is naturally wild, frizzy, and tangled; there’s a thin line between pulling off a sexy look and appearing like an unkempt, homeless person. To avoid the latter, here are a few things that could help.

1. Get rid of split ends with regular trims at the hair salon 
2. Avoid taking a hot shower while washing your hair 
3. Use frizz-free hair products to keep it moisturised 
4. Invest in a good hair mask for deeper conditioning and nourishment 
5. Avoid heat styling products and let your hair dry out naturally 

What makes frizzy hair worse?

Washing your hair with hot water results in lack of moisture, which could increase frizz. Rinsing your hair with cold water is the best way to smooth your cuticles to minimise frizz and increase shine. 

Is frizzy hair healthy?

Your hair quality depends on environmental factors, hair structure, and haircare practices. Unlike what most people believe, frizzy hair does not directly translate to damaged hair. Your hair can be perfectly healthy and frizzy too. It depends on how moisturised you keep it, leaving it with a soft texture.
