Most women battle frizzy hair and find it difficult to get rid of it. While many women are more prone to getting frizzy hair because of their curly hair texture, humidity in the summer season can turn even the smoothest hair textures into frizzy ones. Thankfully there are a few effective ways to get rid of it. Read ahead to understand the causes of frizzy hair and how to get rid of it.
What are the causes of frizzy hair?
- Taking hot steamy showers can strip your hair of natural oils that hydrate your hair. Cranking up the heat while taking a shower can make your hair extremely dry and thus cause frizz.
- Not oiling or conditioning at regular intervals can also leave you with frizzy hair. While oiling keeps your scalp nourished, conditioning your hair at regular intervals can help moisturize it.
- Using hair products that have toxic chemicals such as sulphate and paraben can cause harm to your hair. These chemicals can also strip off natural oils that help keep your hair smooth and shiny. Picking the right shampoo for frizzy hair is of utmost importance.
- Heat styling tools such as straighteners and curlers can also damage hair cuticles and remove natural oils from your hair. You should avoid using a lot of heat-styling tools regularly. Instead, start using heat-protectant products that will protect your hair texture from the heat.
- Touching your hair constantly and running down your fingers through them can also cause frizz.
How to get rid of frizzy hair?
1. Use a gentle cleanser and a conditioner
Make sure you use a gentle sulphate-free shampoo that does not strip the natural oils from your hair. We recommend using Kérastase’s Discipline shampoo, a smoothing shampoo that is excellent for sensitive, colour-treated, and chemically-treated hair. Its Morpho-Kératine compound wraps each hair fibre, and restores smoothness and reduces frizz. This shampoo for frizzy hair helps in reducing frizz effectively without damaging your hair.
Follow it up with a conditioner to provide nourishment, lock in the moisture in your hair, and prevent your hair from getting frizzy. Make sure you apply the conditioner from the mid-length till the ends of your hair strands.
2. Use a deep-conditioning hair mask
You should use a deep-conditioning hair mask at least once a week. You should replace your regular conditioner with a mask to get smooth and nourished hair. The Maskeratine mask from the Discipline range will help reduce frizz and give you manageable hair.
3. Invest in microfibre towels
Your hair is in its most vulnerable state when it’s wet, and regular towels can lead to hair breakage or frizz. Instead of a cotton towel that can create friction and lead to breakage, use a soft microfibre towel. A softer fabric is not only gentler for your hair, but it’s also specifically made to quicken the drying process by soaking in excess water without making it completely dry and frizzy.
4. Get yourself a silk pillow cover
A silk pillow cover will not only prevent your hair from getting frizzy but will also help avoid split ends. Just like a normal cotton towel, a cotton pillow cover can create friction as you toss and turn at night. This can lead to hair breakage, more frizz and even entangle your hair. However, a silk pillow cover is gentler and will help maintain your hair’s natural oils and avoid frizz caused by friction.
5. Use heat styling products
While straightening and curling sounds like a good idea while styling your hair during occasions, it also gives your frizzy hair. So, use a heat protectant spray as the first step in your styling routine. You can try the Discipline Fluidissime heat protectant spray, which shields your hair from the heat if you have fine, unruly hair. If you have thick, unruly hair, we recommend the Discipline Thermique Blow Dry Primer.
6. Stop touching your hair!
You might want to flaunt your hair by constantly running your fingers down your hair. However, by doing this again and again, you create friction that makes your hair frizzier. You may follow all the above steps to get rid of frizzy hair, but if you do not follow this simple step, all your efforts can go in vain.
Apart from the above-mentioned tips, make sure you get a haircut if you start noticing fraying. You can also use a mascara brush to smoothen the flyaways while making a sleek bun. Keep exploring through the wide range of Anti-frizz products by Kérastase for better results and to upgrade your hair game.
