Tips For Frizz-Free Hair!

If you have frizzy, unmanageable hair this is the post for you!

Read on to find out how and why frizz happens, how to combat this problem and my professional recommendations.

First off, let’s start with why this happens;

Frizz happens when hair is lacking moisture, it’s also caused by breakage and damage.

Here are some tips for taming your frizz for better hair days all year round!

Use a humidifier in your room at night.

This will help by adding moisture back into your environment which will help everything from frizzy hair to dry skin and also aids in preventing colds, static and dust from floating around in your air.

This is an all around life hack!

Pro tip: make sure you’re using distilled water in your humidifier and cleaning all parts with white vinegar 1x per week!

Make sure to use a protective style when you sleep.

Braid your hair off to one side, wear a night cap or sleep on a silk pillow case. This will help to reduce the amount of friction between your hair and your sheets and pillowcase, which is a big cause for hair breakage.

Pro tip: if you must go to sleep with your hair damp, make sure it’s at least 60% dry before putting it in a protective style.

Use moisturizing products!

Like I said in the beginning, hair that lacks moisture, results in frizz. Opt for a co-wash (no poo method) or a shampoo and conditioner that is labeled moisturizing. Using a leave-in conditioner is a great step to helping your hair retain the moisture it needs to be smooth and manageable.

There are so many great products out there, if you’d like my personal recommendations I’m happy to answer any questions in the comments, or reach out to me directly!

Back off on the heat styling and hair coloring.

As a professional cosmetologist, I know how damaging the chemicals in hair color can be. This is why I recommend seeing a professional for your hair color because we know what to use and when to use it. When it comes to heat styling, try to cut it down to no more than 3 days out of the week and make sure to use heat protection because it really does make a huge difference.

If you live in a humid place, skip the humidifier, use this instead.
