How to Fight Frizz – Frizzy Hair Tips & Hacks
CO-WASHING
Let’s start from the basics and talk about washing. When it comes to frizz, conditioner is key! If you haven’t heard of co-washing before, it’s the process of skipping the shampoo & only conditioning your hair. Sounds a bit scary, we know, but your locks will benefit from this and you’ll definitely notice an improvement in frizziness! And if co-washing is too terrifying, try simply leaving in your conditioner to the lengths of your of your hair for at least 5 minutes. This will be sure to lock in that moisture and fight frizz!
PRODUCTS & SERUMS
Once you washed your hair, it’s time for products. Particularly for frizz, products make a hell of a difference and is probably our #1 of these frizzy hair tips. Anti-frizz serums, leave in conditioners and hair oils are the perfect frizz fighters & mane tamers! Once applied to the hair, serums and other leave in moisture products will make all the difference to smooth down those locks!
DRYING TECHNIQUES
After applying your serums, the way you dry your hair is key when fighting frizz! Instead of blow drying damp hair, let your hair air dry 90% before going in with drying tools. Too much hot air on the hair follicles can make your hair prone to frizz & damage, therefore air drying with results in healthier, smoother locks. Another drying technique is to pull your hair up into a bun or styled into a plait to be left with smooth & frizz-free locks.
WEEKLY TREATMENTS
Our last tip to de-frizz comes with a little TLC for your hair. Regular conditioning treatments will improve the overall condition of your hair whilst preventing frizz. We recommend hair masks once a week for those with naturally frizzy & curly hair, or once a fortnight/monthly for girls with hair prone to frizz. Not only can you indulge in a luscious & hydrating treatment, you’ll be making your hair super happy & look it’s best.
