10 habits that increase frizz

Whether it’s because your hair is damaged or you’re adopting habits that make it appear, there are several reasons that cause frizz. See below the top 10 habits that are commonly adopted and that help make hair stand on end.

1. Combing your hair the wrong way

The way and what you comb your hair with influences the increase in frizz. Wavy, curly or frizzy hair should only be styled while the strands are wet. Straight hair, on the other hand, should be combed every day, so that the nutrients from the scalp spread through the rest of the strands. The best thing is that the hair is combed with wooden objects.

2. Using the towel wrong

Pay attention to how you use the towel after showering. Twisting the hair or even rubbing it in the towel causes breakage of the wires, consequently generating more frizz. Just pressing the hair against the towel will take a good part of the moisture without ruining the strands. Another interesting tip is to use microfiber towels to dry your hair. But if you don’t have this type of towel, you can use an old cotton shirt.

3. Wash the wires with hot water

Hot water is one of the biggest villains of hair. It causes dryness, leaves the wires more tangled, as well as increasing the oiliness at the root. Dry wires become more brittle, increasing frizz. Therefore, whenever you wash your head, prefer lukewarm or cold water. If it’s very cold, the tip is to wash your hair out of the shower, in a sink or in the bathroom sink, and then take a warm shower.

4. Using the hairdryer wrongly

To have healthy and frizz-free hair, using the dryer correctly is essential. Always use it with the nozzle so that the jet is directed, preventing the hair from dusting. Don’t forget to apply a heat protectant before use. Before drying your hair, remove excess water with a towel and leave the dryer at the right temperature for your strands, avoiding burning them. A blast of cool air after drying helps to make hair shinier.

5. Expose hair to weather conditions

Rainy or humid weather is ideal for the emergence of those goose bumps. However, exposing your hair to the sun also causes frizz, as high temperatures tend to dry out your hair, causing breakage. Therefore, it is important to protect the hair before exposing it to the weather. In rainy times, invest in products that shield your hair from moisture. And on very hot days, apply a product with sun protection.

6. Taking care of your hair the wrong way

A well-groomed hair is frizz-free hair, that’s a fact. So, regularly moisturize your hair. The frequency will vary depending on your hair type, and thicker hair with chemical processes should be moisturized regularly. Too much mask and products that are not suitable for your hair type can increase frizz, so try to get information from specialized people about the products you use on your hair.

7. Do a lot of chemical processes

Chemical processes, such as bleaching, straightening, etc., damage the hair and generate frizz. Avoid performing these types of procedures as much as possible and, if it is not possible to avoid it, take good care of your hair after the process. In addition, it is always important to perform them with professionals and qualified products, generating as little damage as possible to the hair and thus avoiding the appearance of frizz.

8. Run your hand through your hair several times

This habit is mainly harmful to women with curly, curly or wavy hair, since when you run your hand through your hair, it loses definition, causing frizz. Running your hand through your hair generates friction which also contributes to the appearance of frizz. So think twice before fixing the wires with your hands.

9. Keep your hair white

If you are a fan of gray hair, you must have noticed that frizz is always present in your hair. The reason is because the lack of melanin makes the wires more fragile, causing dryness and breakage. This does not mean that you have to dye your hair, but that you should adopt habits to keep your white strands hydrated, strong and healthy, thus preventing frizz.

10. Sleep with your hair up

Any action that can break the strands should be avoided and sleeping with the hair tied with an elastic causes breakage. The friction of the elastic on the pillow makes it easier for the threads to break. Broken wires end up shivering and, thus, frizz appears. If you can’t sleep without holding your hair, the tip is to avoid rubber bands. Sleep with a cap or make a very loose bun.

Paying attention to these habits and following the tips, frizz will decrease considerably. However, if it persists, there are some easy-to-do treatments you can adopt to soften the strands and get your hair straight. For that, just check it out below.
