Discover the ultimate guide for frizzy hair care.

Dealing with frizzy hair can be a daunting task — turning a perfectly good hair day into a disaster. But don't worry, you can tame those wild, frizzy hair and achieve shiny, gorgeous hair.

But, how?

Here’s the ultimate guide for frizzy hair care.

What causes frizzy hair?

First things first, let's understand why your hair decides to frizz out just when you need it to behave. Frizz happens when the outer layer of your hair (the cuticle) lifts, letting moisture in and puffing up each strand. Here's why this might be happening:

1. Humidity: That dreaded humidity is a frizz magnet. In Australia’s sticky summers, the moisture content in the air is elevated. This excess moisture seeps into the hair shaft, causing it to swell and the cuticle to lift, resulting in inevitable frizz. This is a familiar battle for Aussie hair, making smooth locks a constant challenge.
2. Hair damage: If you’ve been a bit too friendly with heat styling tools or chemical treatments, your hair might be damaged. Overusing straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Chemical treatments like coloring, perming, or relaxing can also weaken the hair structure. Damaged hair has a rougher cuticle, which lifts more easily, letting moisture in and causing frizz. So, if your hair feels like a straw, it might be screaming for some love and care.
3. Dryness: Dry hair craves moisture from the air, which makes it frizz. This can happen if you’re using the wrong products that strip your hair of its natural oils or if you’re washing your hair too frequently. Without sufficient moisture, your hair becomes more porous and prone to frizz. Using hydrating products and a proper hair care routine can help keep your hair moisturized and less likely to frizz.
4. Genetics: Sometimes, it's just in your DNA. Some people are simply more prone to frizz due to their hair type. Curly and wavy hair types are more likely to experience frizz. If frizzy hair runs in your family, you might need to take extra steps to manage it. Knowing your hair's genetic predisposition can help you choose the right products and treatments to keep frizz at bay.
5. Improper hair care routine: Using the wrong products, over-washing your hair, and not conditioning properly can all contribute to frizz. Additionally, skipping conditioner or not using a deep conditioning treatment regularly can lead to insufficient hydration. Regular trims to remove split ends and reduce the use of heat styling tools can also help maintain healthy, frizz-free hair.

 

How to tame your frizzy tresses?

Now, let's get to the fun part and learn how to kick frizz to the curb. Here are some simple yet effective tips for frizzy hair treatment:

1. Establish a consistent hair wash routine: Washing your hair too often leads to dryness and frizz, while not washing it enough can result in dust buildup and dullness. Aim to wash your hair two to three times a week with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner are ideal for maintaining moisture balance and keeping your hair smooth and frizz-free. These products are packed with keratin and marula oil to add moisture and smooth out the cuticle. Imagine waking up each morning and running your fingers through smooth, silky hair.
2. Apple cider vinegar rinse: Apple cider vinegar can balance your hair's pH levels and smooth the cuticle due to its acidic nature. It also helps to remove product buildup and add shine. Mix two to four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 16 ounces of water. After shampooing, pour the mixture over your hair, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and then rinse it out. Complement this with the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Serum once a week. This serum enriched with keratin, smooths the cuticle and reduces frizz. Make it a daily ritual: after conditioning, apply the serum on damp hair, work it evenly through the tips, and let it work its magic.
3. Dry your hair gently: Instead of vigorously towel-drying your hair, which can cause frizz, gently squeeze out the excess water and then pat dry with a microfiber towel or a soft cloth.
4. Say NO to heat damage: Whenever you style your hair with heat-styling tools like straighteners and curling irons, it's essential to protect it from damage. Apply the right heat protection product beforehand to minimize risks. Try TRESemmé Protect Heat Defense Spray – think of it as a superhero cape for your hair. Spray it on before styling to add moisture, protect against heat, and keep frizz away. You deserve hair that can withstand any styling and still look flawless.
5. Sleep on a silk pillowcase: Silk pillowcases cause less friction on your hair compared to cotton ones. This helps reduce frizz and prevent breakage. Silk also helps retain your hair's moisture and natural oils, keeping it hydrated and less prone to frizz. Additionally, sleeping on silk can reduce hair tangling and split ends, leading to healthier, shinier hair over time.
