Frizz is most often recognized by unruly, disheveled hair that sticks out and looks dry or messy. It occurs when hair lacks moisture and tries to absorb it from the air, which results in frizz and the creation of electricity. In addition to a lack of moisture, frizz is also significantly affected by the porosity of the hair. The more porous the hair, the easier it loses and absorbs moisture from the environment, making it more prone to frizz. It is more pronounced in the fall and winter because cold air and wind outside and dry, warm air in heated spaces further dry out the hair. However, with these 7 tricks, tips (and products), we can alleviate hair frizz.
1. Get rid of split ends
Split ends damage hair by making it wider and less able to retain natural moisture, which further increases frizz. While there are products that can temporarily reduce the appearance of split ends, the long-term solution is to get regular haircuts. In between visits to the hairdresser, nourishing oils or serums can be applied to help prevent breakage and retain moisture.
2. Don't wash your hair with hot water.
While a hot shower can be relaxing, it can strip your scalp and hair of the natural oils that keep them hydrated and shiny. This lack of moisture can lead to increased frizz. Warm or lukewarm water is optimal for washing your hair.
3. Choose a shampoo for your hair (and scalp) type
Choosing the right shampoo is key to starting any routine. For dry, porous or treated hair, mild, hydrating, sulfate-free shampoos like Amla and Probiotic shampoos will work. For strengthening hair and stimulating growth, Ricinus Shampoo is a great choice. Based on castor oil and enriched with panthenol, it strengthens the hair structure, nourishes the scalp and prevents dryness. Many will benefit from rotating their shampoos. Use gentle sulfate-free shampoos, and every third or fifth wash, add a sulfate-based shampoo to deep-clean the scalp. This removes accumulated impurities without over-drying the hair. Apply the shampoo only to the scalp and massage to create a lather. The remaining lather that flows down the length will sufficiently cleanse the ends without unnecessary drying.
4. Restore vitality with conditioner
Conditioner is not just additional hydration. We can think of it as textile care. Just as fabric softener softens fibers and smoothes fabric, conditioner smoothes the hair cuticle and gives it suppleness. Hibiscus extract is rich in natural acids and antioxidants that stimulate hair renewal, restore elasticity and prevent breakage. Combined with the natural oils in Hibiscus Hair Conditioner , it helps soften, smooth and nourish hair. Apply conditioner from the middle of the hair to the ends and leave it to work for a few minutes before rinsing. Avoid applying conditioner to the roots of the hair. This makes the hair even heavier, and can lead to clogged follicles and hair loss.
5. Gently dry your hair with a towel.
When drying your hair, avoid rough rubbing. Wet hair is more sensitive and easily damaged, broken, and tangled. Instead, it's better to gently pat your hair with a soft microfiber cloth or wrap it in a turban. A good trick is to wrap your hair in a cotton t-shirt instead of a towel.
6. Apply a leave-in treatment
Hair sometimes needs extra care. Leave-in products are key to preventing frizz. They create a protective layer that prevents moisture loss and makes hair less porous. Amodimethicone, a new generation silicone that selectively binds to damaged areas of the hair, is the best at this. The Hibiskus 3in1 Leave-In Hair Mask reduces frizz, adds shine and softness, and helps protect hair from heat treatment and damage. The mask is applied to damp hair and makes it easier to comb without feeling heavy or greasy.
For final shine and additional protection, silicone serums are optimal. SILK ON Silicone Hair Serum creates a waterproof film that prevents moisture loss and makes it less porous. A few drops are enough to care for the tips and length.
7. Minimize heat damage
Flat irons, curling irons and powerful blow dryers can seriously damage the hair structure, making it dry, brittle and more prone to frizz. That's why it's important to apply heat protection before styling and reduce the temperature of the device to the lowest, most effective level. Whenever possible, it's advisable to limit the frequency of heat styling and focus on hair care and restoration.
