How to Get Rid of Frizzy Hair: Tips and Tricks for Smoother Curls
Frizzy hair can be a real challenge, whether your hair is straight, wavy or curly. However, there are many ways to tame the unruly strands and achieve soft and shiny hair. Here are some practical tips and tricks to get rid of frizz.
Understand the causes of frizzy hair
Before we dive into the solutions, let's understand why hair gets frizzy:
- Moisture: Hair that absorbs moisture from the air swells and creates frizz.
- Dryness: When hair is dry and damaged, it becomes more prone to frizz.
- Damaged hair: Heat tools, chemical treatments and excessive brushing can damage the hair leading to frizz
Tips to reduce frizz
1. Use the right hair care products
Choosing the right products for your hair can make a big difference.
- Sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners: Sulfates can dry out hair, so look for sulfate-free options that are milder and help retain moisture. Try our sulfate-free smooth range dedicated to reducing frizz and adding shine.
- Deep conditioning wraps: Use a deep conditioning hair mask once a week to provide extra moisture and nourishment. Try our Smooth Lamellar which you can replace with the conditioner in your hair care routine, let the product work for 5-15 minutes and discover the shine of your hair and reduced frizz
- Leave-in conditioners and oils: Leave-in products and natural oils like argan or coconut oil can help smooth and protect hair. Try our Alpha Keratin spray mask or smoothing milk, both products dedicated to reducing frizz!
2. Gentle hair care routines
The way you take care of your hair on a daily basis affects the frizz.
- Rinse with cold water: Cold water helps close the surface layer of the hair shaft, reducing frizz
- Avoid rubbing your hair with the towel: Instead, gently pat your hair dry to avoid damage and frizz
- Brush gently: Use a wide-toothed comb or a natural bristle brush and start from the ends to avoid tearing the hair
3. Handle heating tools
Heating tools can be an enemy of frizz if used incorrectly.
- Heat protection products: Always apply a heat protection spray or cream before using heat tools - try our heat protection that heats up to 230 degrees
- Lower the temperature: Use a lower temperature setting to minimize damage.
- Air dry whenever possible: Try to air dry your hair as often as possible to reduce exposure to heat.
4. Moisture balance and environmental factors
Keep hair moist and protect it from environmental influences.
- Hydrate from within: Drink enough water and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that promote hair health.
- Protect from the weather: Use hats or scarves to protect your hair from the sun, wind and rain that can cause frizz. You can also try Alpha Keratin moisture spray
5. Regular haircuts
Trim your hair regularly to get rid of split ends that can contribute to frizz. Once every 6-8 weeks is a good rule of thumb to keep your hair healthy.
