5 Tricks To Avoid Frizzy Hair
Nowadays, in the working era, it's very difficult for us ladies to take care of our skin and hair. The increasing pollution not only harms our health but also causes the condition of our skin and hair to suffer. In fact, one of the biggest problems we're facing is dry and frizzy hair.
In this article, we'll list down five tricks to avoid frizzy hair!
What causes frizzy hair?
So before we get into the details, it's important to know first why we get frizzy hair in the first place.
Frizz occurs due to the inefficiency of moisture in the hair. In other words, dryness causes the hair to become frizzy. Due to lack of moisture in the strands, your hair will start searching for moisture in the air around it. Humidity makes frizz even worse, since the hydrogen molecules in the air will cause the proteins in your hair to react. Using your blowdryer, undergoing plenty of chemical treatments, and even using the wrong type of hairbrush could further exacerbate the issue.
How to avoid frizzy hair
1. Avoid frequent washes
Frequent washes will dry out your hair and make your hair look duller. There are various oils and chemicals present in our hair naturally and washing your hair often can strip those away. Shampoo can even trap these oil and chemicals, making your hair look less natural and shiny. It can even lead to breakage, if it goes on long enough. So if you want to have frizz-free hair, better avoid frequent washes.
4. Always use sulfate-free shampoo
Shampoo which contains damaging sulfates often strip away the required oils and nutrients from your strands. Sulfate-free shampoos, on the other hand, nourish your hair and provide essential oils to your scalp. This makes the hair look much healthier and shinier. It also makes your hair more bouncy and helps keep the frizz away.
3. Don't towel dry your hair
Drying your hair with a towel after washing or showering can make your strands look more dry and frizzy. Instead, try air-drying your hair. This lets your hair dry the natural way. In case of an emergency, use a diffuser on medium heat to dry your hair. Using it on extreme heat will just make your hair look more dull and dry.
4. Use the right type of hair brush
The hair brush you're using has a lot to do with your hair condition as well. If you're using the wrong type of brush, your hair will only suffer as a result. While the hair brush you should use depends mainly on your hair type, you should take great care in ensuring that your brushes are also high quality. As a general rule, you should opt for wooden hair brushes if not boar-bristle in order to achieve the best condition for your hair.
5. Adjust your hair care regimen
Sometimes, it takes an entire adjustment of your hair care regimen to transform your hair. Take a look at your current hair care regimen and see if you can switch out a couple of products for better ones. You might have to use a lighter hair oil, for one. Whatever it is you do, though, make sure that you'll be diligent in maintaining your hair care regimen on a regular basis.
