How to Get Rid of Frizzy Hair

I’m sure you know what frizzy hair means or you wouldn’t be reading this. When it comes to hair, frizz can be caused by a variety of factors. While I want to offer you several tips and strategies on how to get rid of frizzy hair, those strategies might not work for everyone. My challenge is finding the best way to help the most people without offending people who can’t use some of my tips.

Wash your hair less often.

Washing your hair too often is a common mistake that can make your hair look dull and lifeless. The oils in your scalp are there for a reason: They protect your hair from damage, help it stay moisturized and healthy, and make it shiny.

If you shampoo every day, these oils become stripped away, leaving your strands dry, frizzy and dull — not to mention more prone to breakage.

“The less often you wash your hair, the better,” says hairstylist Orlando Pita. “I recommend going no longer than two days between washes.”

If that sounds like a lot of work (or flat-out impossible), Pita says there’s an easy way to cheat: Use dry shampoo on the second day between shampoos.

“Dry shampoo is great because it’s like a little oxygen boost for your hair,” he explains. “It cleanses away oiliness without stripping all the good stuff from your scalp.”

Invest in a silk pillowcase.

Silk is a natural fabric that is hypoallergenic and breathable, which makes it ideal for sensitive skin. It also doesn’t build up oil or sweat, so it’s great for people who like to sleep on their side or back.

If you don’t want to spend the money on a silk pillowcase, you can always opt for 100 percent cotton instead.

Wash your pillowcases at least once every two weeks.

You may not realize this, but dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria can accumulate on your pillowcase if it’s not washed often enough. This can lead to breakouts and other problems like hair loss and dandruff — particularly if you use an old pillowcase every night! If possible, wash your pillowcases at least once every two weeks during the winter months when your scalp tends to produce more oil than usual due to dry heat indoors.

Spritz your hair with water before styling.

Water is the ultimate tool for softening and smoothing your hair. It’s especially great for fine and thinning hair, which tends to get crunchy when it’s styled because there’s no weight to keep it down. Use a spray bottle or dampen your hands and run them through your hair after you’ve applied product. It’ll help it stay put, which is especially important on humid days when frizz can be a problem.

If you’re doing something with volume, spritz your roots with a volumizing spray like Kérastase Spray Volumateur de Force Architecturale (about $30). This will give you lift without stickiness or feeling like there’s any product in your hair at all.

Use a little bit of argan or coconut oil.

Argan oil is a popular ingredient in lotions and moisturizers because of its moisturizing properties. It’s also used in hair care products to add shine and help repair damaged hair. Coconut oil is another popular ingredient in the natural beauty world, as it has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

You can use argan or coconut oil in your beauty routine by applying it directly to your skin after showering or bathing. To make your own body butter, blend together one cup of shea butter and one teaspoon each of argan and coconut oils in a double boiler over low heat until completely melted. Pour the mixture into containers with lids and let cool completely before storing them in a dark cabinet away from sunlight for up to six months.

If you want even more benefits from these oils, try adding a few drops of essential oils like lavender or rosemary for aromatherapy benefits.

Sleep on wet hair the right way.

You may be wondering how to sleep on wet hair. In this article, we’ll talk about sleeping on wet hair and why it’s so important for your hair health.

Sleeping on wet hair is actually a great way to maintain your hair’s health. It can also help with frizz, dryness, and dandruff. Here are some tips for sleeping on wet hair:

Wash your hair at night and let it air dry before going to bed. This will prevent the buildup of oil that occurs during the day while you’re wearing makeup and styling products in your hair all day long.

Use a silk pillowcase instead of cotton to reduce friction against your scalp while you sleep. This will help keep excess moisture away from your scalp which can cause dandruff or other scalp issues like itchiness or flaking skin around the edges of your head.

Sleep with braids or buns if you have curly or wavy hair because this helps keep curls intact while they dry overnight so they don’t get frizzy when they start drying out from sleep!

Deep condition regularly.

This is the biggest thing you can do to maintain your hair and keep it looking healthy. You don’t need to deep condition every single time you wash your hair, but once or twice a week is a good idea. My favorite product for this is SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque, which I use on my hair at least once a week. It smells so yummy, like sweet coconut oil and vanilla!

Other options include Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk, SheaMoisture African Black Soap Purification Masque (which has a milder scent), and Oyin Handmade Burnt Sugar Pomade (which has a sweet caramel scent). You can also use coconut oil as an alternative deep conditioner — just make sure to leave it on for at least 10 minutes before rinsing off!

Use an anti-frizz serum if necessary.

Frizz can be a problem for people with curly hair, but it can also be a problem for those with straight hair. If you have straight hair and notice that it’s starting to frizz, apply some serum or gel to damp strands before styling them. You’ll want something lightweight that will help control frizz without weighing down your hair.

You can use any type of product that has anti-frizz properties, including serums and gels. Just make sure that the product contains ingredients like silicone or glycerin, which help protect against humidity and keep the cuticle layer closed — preventing frizz from forming in the first place.

If you want to stop frizz in its tracks, you need to take action on multiple fronts and stay vigilant.

Frizzy hair is a common problem for many people. If your hair is naturally curly or naturally straight and you have coarse or kinky hair, the chances of having frizzy hair are pretty good. Even if your hair falls somewhere between the two extremes, it’s likely that you’ll experience some degree of frizz from time to time.

In general, frizzy hair can be defined as curly or wavy hair that has lots of flyaways or tangles that look like little baby birds’ nests. Frizz can also affect straight hair as well, especially when it’s chemically processed or color treated. The result is dry and brittle strands that break easily and become difficult to manage no matter what kind of product you put on them.
