Control Frizzy Hair
Tips for how
To tame and control frizzy hair
I have curly, frizzy hair and I don't mind telling you,
I HATE IT. Not because it's curly, but because it's
frizzy! It's like having a permanent bad perm every day.
Curly hair is a beautiful thing but very few people with
curly hair, permed or natural, can avoid the
frizzies. Here are a few frizzy hair care tips
I've used for keeping down the frizz and taming your curly hair
so it looks smooth and attractive.
1. Shampoo and
Condition Wash hair with a shampoo that
isn't a detergent. You can usually tell this because the
shampoo doesn't suds up as much. Rinse your hair and apply
conditioner. After leaving your conditioner on for a few
minutes rinse it with cool or cold water. This helps lock in
the conditioning. When drying your hair don't fluff it up in a
towel. Pat it dry and use a wide toothed comb.
If you use lots of hair care products such as pomades, daily
straighteners or products with extra hold, you may need to use
a monthly shampoo that rids your hair of residue yet is gentle
and won't damage your hair. Otherwise your hair will collect
build-up and begin to feel heavy, straw-like and lose its
shine. Use a shampoo such as Neutragena Anti Residue
Shampoo and you'll gain your silky, soft, shiny hair
back.
Don't shampoo every day. People with naturally curly hair
tend to have dry hair anyway so no need to over dry it. If you
can, try to shampoo every other day.
2. Stop
Smoking Smoking causes you skin to be dry
and wrinkled and it does the same thing to your hair. Smoking
causes your hair to be dry, break off, frizz and thin.
3. Cut down on alchohol and
smoking
This is a tough one, especially for me because I like a glass
of wine and I love my coffee, but these drinks tend to pull
water out of your body, that means less moisture that goes to
your hair causing dryness and frizz.
But I'm not saying cut these things out completely simply,
limit your intake. As for me, I don't drink a pot of coffee a
day anymore, instead now it's just a couple of cups, much
better
4. Using Styling
products While hair is wet run a dime size
amount of your favorite hair serum into your hands and cover
your hair completely through to the ends. If you have very
course hair use a product designed for coarser hair. To be sure
hair is completely covered, bend over exposing the back of your
hair, rub serum from your neck to the top of your hair, then
stand up straight and rub the remaining amount of serum
beginning from your scalp downward.
5. Limit Blow
Drying Very few people with curly hair go
without blow drying it to some extent. If you like the curly
look then be sure to use a diffuser on your blow dryer, not
using one will create frizzy, fly-away hair.
6. Use non- metal
brushes. Stay away from the brushes
that have metal in the center. Everyone likes these brushes
because they help your hair dry faster, but if you use a hot
dryer they can also dry out your hair, even burn it. If you
like these brushes be sure to use a lower heat setting.
7. Rinse Your hair with Cool
water After washing your hair rinse it with
cool water. Cool water calms your hair down. I've been
using this tip for sometime now and it does tend to make my
hair calmer as well as shinier.
Styling Tip: If you completely blow
dry your hair with a styling brush finish off each strand with
a cool shot of the blow dryer. This helps set the style and
creates a smooth look while taming your frizzy hair. Your hair
will look smoother and shinier by doing this.
