Using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner can help soften hair.
Curly hair can be quite annoying. For some people, it’s so bad and seemingly unmanageable that there seems to be nothing they can do to make it better. Nobody should be content with having a full head of frizzy hair, and you don’t have to. There are ways to control your hair if it gets frizzy and even prevent it from becoming frizzy.
Ironing helps add shine and reduces frizz.
When shopping for shampoo, look for the words on the bottle that indicate it’s for dry or damaged hair. Naturally curly or color-treated hair can especially benefit from this type of shampoo. They often contain extra vitamins and help add extra moisture that can leave hair feeling softer and more manageable.
A deep conditioner can be a savior for frizzy hair. It is usually applied evenly and left on for an extended period of time after washing. You can leave the conditioner in for about twenty to thirty minutes while your hair is wrapped in a warm, wet towel to absorb a little more.
After washing, avoid rubbing your hair with a towel to dry it faster. Friction can break and frizz hair after drying. Instead, towel dry and style as needed.
Regular conditioning helps control frizzy hair.
If you have naturally curly or frizzy hair, opt to use your fingers and a wide comb to detangle and style your hair, as using a brush can cause additional damage. On days you don’t wash your hair, consider spraying your hair with a mixture of water and leaving it with conditioner. It can help to add a little extra protection, however, make sure you don’t overuse it.
People with curly hair should avoid using hair dryers.
Using heat on frizzy hair can make it worse, so instead of using a blow dryer, let it air dry. If the weather outside is humid, be sure to dry your hair thoroughly before going outside, as moisture in the air can cause frizz. If you use a must-have blow dryer, curling iron, or curling iron, consider using a heat-protective spray first.
To maintain a defined style throughout the day, you should try using a finishing cream. It can add extra moisture, hold your style and prevent frizz from forming. To use, place a small amount in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and apply evenly.
Using a wide tooth comb or your fingers to remove tangles can help minimize damage and resulting frizz.
Another way to help conquer frizzy hair is to visit a hairdresser every four to six months. The stylist may make a cut to prevent the damage from getting worse. In addition, it can advise you on a day-to-day basis which products to use to best treat your specific hair type.
When you have curly hair or are trying to prevent it from happening, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on styling supplies. There are easy precautions to take to help keep hair soft and in good condition, and styling products that can be used to keep it well-groomed. With all the methods and products to try, you may not have to deal with frizzy hair every day after all.
