How You Can Manage Frizzy Hair

If your beautiful tresses tend to run wild with frizz, you may be frustrated enough to feel like pulling them out. That "finger in a light socket" look is what you wind up having if you so much as exposed your hair on a humid day, combed your hair, or dried your hair right after a shower. It was our main goal to give you a short introduction to natural beauty secrets, and allow you to see firsthand what can be accomplished. You can do something to tame that wild hair of yours and you do not even need to spend a ton of money.

As per leading medical experts, your hair shaft consists of three layers, and the outside layer is not a solid, sleek surface. It is made of very small overlapping cells which, ideally, lay absolutely smooth like shingles. Frizzy hair happens when these cells lift, making your hair kink, curl, and become stiff.

Usually, frizzy hair is dry hair. For taming dry and frizzy hair, overnight oil treatments, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, and intense conditioning can be used. However, you should not wash your hair too frequently. Now that you know a bit more about how to keep skin healthy, you can easily watch the vital part it plays. Not only does repeated washing dry out the hair, it disrupts the hair follicle layer. And when you do wash your hair, be generous with the conditioner. Also be careful when drying your hair. If possible, blot dry it instead of rubbing with a towel.

Hair styling products can be your closest friend or worst enemy in the war against frizz. In case your hair is really dry, consider a light-weight, leave-in conditioner. Alternately, you can use a tiny dab of most ordinary conditioners mixed with water and massage it into hair after bathing. Remember not to apply leave-in conditioner near the roots, however.

You'll find numerous anti-frizz products that contain silicone. They are effective in smoothening hair, but they also make it easy for hair to become dirty easily. You're better off making use of anti-frizz products which have moisturizers or oil in them instead of silicone. If you'd like to use aerosols and gels to manage your frizzy hair, be careful with your choice. Realize that any product designed to stiffen will in essence remove hair's natural flexibility. Go for sprays and gels labeled gentle or flexible if you want to use them.

Many people with frizzy hair decide to start using a straightening iron, but fight the urge to get on the bandwagon. Heat out of straightening irons causes damage to the inner and outer layers of hair shafts. It also weakens the hair and brings about split ends. What's more, a straightening iron really doesn't tame the frizz. For straightening your hair, go with special shampoos and non-damaging serums. Alternatively, use a gentle setting lotion with big rollers to transform tight curls to gentle waves.

Go to your hairdresser for a hair trim every 6 to 8 months. This is important especially when your hair is exposed to heat (whether environmental heat or heat from styling tools). This removes all split ends, which contribute to frizz. Also give some thought to consuming more protein or making use of hair products that have protein for strengthening the hair shafts and making them less likely to be harmed. Just eat well and do not over style, and you'll be well on your way to winning the fight with the frizz.
