What to do with frizzy hair? Discover 8 tips!

Appearance care is often part of women’s daily lives. Many of them wonder what to do in case of frizzy hair, which can affect all types of yarn. We have prepared a guide on the subject, with eight tips that promote beauty and health. But be sure to talk about the alternatives with a doctor before putting them into practice, ok?

Why does my hair stand up so much?

The causes are varied: air humidity, excessive chemicals, lack of hydration, unbalanced diet, hormonal changes, using a very hot hairdryer, hot water, rubbing the towel, hair that is growing… Discovering the cause makes the treatment more effective. Therefore, it is important to make an appointment with a dermatologist and carry out all requested tests.

What to do to get rid of frizzy hair?

Changing habits usually bring great benefits, including a balanced diet, bathing with warm or cold water… Aesthetic care should also be on the list, such as deep hydration and moisturizing. Be sure to follow the treatments recommended by your doctor and discuss with him the possibility of including new alternatives.

Eat in a balanced way

Have you ever heard that beauty comes from the inside out? That’s the purest truth! A varied and healthy diet is essential to absorb vitamins and nutrients, which are essential for the proper functioning of the body and the appearance of skin and hair. Drinking plenty of water daily is also essential!

It is always good to remember the importance of cutting habits that are harmful to your health. These include excess alcohol, cigarettes, little sleep, a sedentary lifestyle and an unbalanced diet.

Rinse with cold water

It’s no myth that a hot shower disrupts the beauty of your hair, even leading to the dreaded frizz. It can harm both the hair shaft and the scalp, initially with dryness and then with increased oiliness. Therefore, prefer warm or cold water.

Be careful when drying your hair

If you have a habit of rubbing a towel over your hair, be careful! It can bristle the surface of the cuticular layer or even break the most fragile hairs. The tip is to remove excess water with a soft tissue, pressing gently or rolling. After that, let drying occur naturally, as drying can lead to frizz and other damage.

Bet on deep hydration

Hair masks can be enriched with different combinations of ingredients to enhance the hydration effect. The list includes argan oil, coconut oil, aloe vera gel, avocado, honey… Leave your laziness aside and, once a week, apply the mixture to your hair and wait between 15 and 30 minutes to rinse. If you have sensitivity, allergies or notice any changes, discontinue use and consult a doctor!

You will need:

⅓ avocado 1 banana 3 tablespoons coconut oil 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons almond milk 1 tablespoon molasses

Way of doing:

In a food processor, blend the avocado, banana, coconut oil, olive oil, almond milk and molasses. Apply to all dry hair and let it act for 20 minutes. Wash your hair normally.

Wet

Wetting is a technique for dry and/or dry hair, used when conditioner and hydration with masks are not enough. It consists of applying a vegetable oil, with coconut and argan being the most used.

You will need:

vegetable oil of your choice conditioner or hair mask thermal cap

Way of doing:

Without washing your hair, separate sections to apply the oil. Apply the oil, covering the strands (slide your hands repeatedly along the entire length until you reach the end of the ends). Make your hair into a bun, put on the satin cap and let the product act for two hours. Remove the product with the UCPE method (wet, condition, pause and rinse): apply conditioner or hair mask over the oil, covering the strands again. Make your hair into a bun, put on the cap and let it act for 30 minutes. Rinse well with water.

Wear a satin cap

The satin cap allows for true “beauty sleep”. Sleeping with it prevents frizz and hair breakage. Because it is slippery, it avoids the typical friction of hair on a common pillowcase, usually made of cotton.

Among the advantages of the accessory is the fact that it does not absorb part of the hydration products applied to the hair, as happens with cotton, enhancing their action. It can also help control oiliness, as it does not absorb natural oil and, therefore, the scalp is not forced to produce even more oil.

Give your wires a rest

Bleaching, coloring and straightening have the potential to weaken the hair due to the high chemical load of the products used. How about postponing your next look transformation so that your hair can recover from previous damage and gain strength?

Another important point is to avoid heat sources: straighteners, hairdryers and curling irons. If you are going to use them, don’t forget to apply a thermal protector.

Styling tricks to hide frizz

The more care you take, the less frizz you tend to have. But some undisciplined strands may insist on being present. Instead of getting stressed or experiencing a drop in self-esteem, how about finding ways to get around the situation? Applying a little setting spray can reduce the frizzy look. On a “bad hair day”, a hairstyle can make all the difference, such as a ponytail, a simple braid or the inclusion of accessories (headbands and barrettes).
