HOW TO FIX FRIZZY HAIR – 5 PROVEN WAYS TO PREVENT AND REPAIR FRIZZY HAIR
Frizzy hair is a frustrating condition that plagues so many people and is caused by a lack of moisture in the hair and damage to the hair strand.
But what can cause this type of dehydration and damage? Some common causes are overuse of hot tools like curling irons, weather changes, daily hair washing with hot water, split ends and roughing up the hair cuticle (a protective scale-like layer on the outside of your hair strands) with harsh towels or pillowcases when sleeping.
Luckily there are a lot of ways to combat and fix frizzy hair no matter your hair type or texture! Keep reading to learn how you can resolve your frizzy hair woes and make your hair sleek, shiny and smooth.
5 ways to treat frizzy hair
Use a silk sleep cap and/or pillowcase
Frizz often starts at night when hair rubs against rough pillowcases, damaging the cuticle and causing dryness, tangles, or breakage. The fix? Switch to a silk or satin pillowcase or wear a silk/satin bonnet. These smooth fabrics reduce friction, protect hair, and even help it stay hydrated while you sleep.
Try a deep conditioning hair mask
Hair needs moisture to stay smooth and silky, and if your hair has dried out due to your shower routine, the weather, using hot tools too often or other causes, you will need to rehydrate it to bring back the shine and smoothness.
A deep conditioning treatment is a great way to bring hydration back to your hair. We recommend our
- Fortifying and Color Retention Hair Mask, which is a color-safe weekly hair mask designed to help your hair retain moisture. To use, apply the mask, then cover damaged hair with a hot towel for 5-10 minutes to help the mask absorb into the hair shaft.
- Splendid Magic Plus Hair Complex treatment which is specially formulated to hydrate and repair dry, damaged and frizzy hair. Mix it with your conditioner in the shower, mix with your hair oil after your shower or apply a small amount after you shower as a light leave-in conditioner.
- Fortifying and Color Retention Oil, which is a color-safe leave-in oil treatment that helps to prevent breakage and frizz.
Get regular hair cuts
Split ends lead to frizz by causing strands to stick out in different directions, making hair look messy. They also tangle hair more easily, leading to further breakage and damage—resulting in even more frizz! To prevent this, get regular trims every 2–4 months (consult your stylist for the best schedule based on your hair). Regular trims help stop split ends before they cause lasting damage.
Avoid hair products that contain alcohol
Many hair products, like hairspray, contain alcohol to dry faster, but it can cause dryness and frizz. To protect your hair’s hydration, choose alcohol-free products and always check the ingredients.
Use a smoothing shampoo and conditioner
Sometimes the simplest solution is the way to go! Simply swap your shampoo and conditioner for products that are formulated to reduce frizz and increase strength and shine in your hair. We recommend
- Fortifying and Color Retention Shampoo + Conditioner. Enriched with Elderberry extract and Amino Acids, this shampoo and conditioner are healthy for both your hair and scalp and helps to strengthen your hair while preventing split ends.
- Splendid Hair Shampoo + Conditioner, which help your hair stay smooth and shiny by repairing the hair cuticle and improving hydration.
Frizzy hair is a frustrating part of life for so many people, but it doesn’t have to be that way! There are simple steps you can take to manage, reduce and sometimes even eliminate frizz from your life.
