What Are The Things Affecting Frizzy Hair?

Frizzy hair shows no discrimination as it plagues both thin and thick haired alike. The hair is susceptible to frizz if your hair has the slightest wave or curl. Explained here are the six critical things done to launch a full-on assault on unruly frizzies, as also the list of things not to do. 

Internal Factors

These are mainly: Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids, Evening Primrose Oil, Lecithin, Silica, Vitamin B8 (Biotin) vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Protein and Water. 

Keep It Cool

There are two cooling techniques equally important as coolness combats frizzies closing down the cuticle layer of each hair strand. The heat has the opposite effect. Obliterating moisture and amplifying frizz. To cool the hair take any one of the two ways:

A Cool Rinse

A rinse with just water or vinegar/water closes down the cuticle adding shine. 
Use the cool shot button on the hairdryer to cool down the section you’re working with after heat styling with a blow-dryer. it helps increase curl or volume creating and amplifying the shine. 

Squeeze, Don't Rub

Resist rubbing or creating any sort of friction when towel drying your hair. Use a hand towel and squeeze the hair up from the ends to roots which is the best method for drying frizzy hair. 

Keep It Trimmed

As regular trims prevent split ends, because o the nature of splitting hairs, it is so often stressed. Continuing up the hair strand exacerbates the frizz. The only way to repair the damage is to cut the hair above the split once the hairs have split. Trim it up at least every two months if it’s a bounty of smooth curls you desire. 

Protect It

As nature’s elements wreak havoc on frizzy hair, sun, wind and environmental humidity are the main culprits. To defend against the harshness of elements here is a list of things you can do. 

Humidity Control

Sun/Wind Protection

To shield your hair from the harsh effects of sun and wind, get yourself a styling straw hat, bandana, or scarf. Use tanning beds to cover your hair which is just wrap it in a towel. Although their effectiveness is debatable, some styling products contain SPFs.

Products And Treatments

Continuously launching new improved products that promise to quell the frizzies once and for all, product companies are clamoring for your money. Find the right product with these tips as you wade through the claims. Pre shampooing treatment sheathes your locks in all manner of goodies like beer, yeast and olive oil. It keeps the cleansing agents from stripping away the necessary oils from the hair when it is applied before you shampoo. 

Conditioning Products

With thick hair, use conditioners formulated to smooth as they deposit a friendly film on hair strands adding weight and smoothing at the same time. It can add too much weight and become a foe when the friendly film is on fine hair. It helps when you use a daily conditioner formulated for colored hair. It ensures your hair gets some extra moisture without trading frizz for flatness. Maximize the benefits of your conditioner by keeping a dry face cloth or hand towel nearby after shampooing, squeezing all excess moisture from the hair into the towel. Apply the conditioner keeping the product from becoming diluted by the water already in your hair increasing the effectiveness. 

Leave-In Conditioners

When it comes to nixing the frizz, slime is the ticket by the concept of applying a slimy coat on the hair, it may seem unappealing. A leave-in conditioner treatment will soothe your frazzled strands and offer just a touch of hold.  

Styling Products

To tell the truth, there are no styling products that smooth/straighten the hair in the miraculous way demonstrated in the ads. With a cupboard full of castaway smoothers, to prove it, this may not be news to you. As the cream styling products help condition the hair and silicones disguise the frizz, both need to be used in combination with the right styling techniques. 

Color Glossing

Products with sealing effect on hair, dramatically amplify the shine which is great for frizzy hair. Go for a clear gloss if you’re not looking to change the color of the hair with the same benefits and no commitment.
