You know the feeling: you’ve done your best to style your hair neatly, you arrive at work, and your hair has turned into a frizzy mess. Frustrating! But where does that frizzy hair actually come from? Frizz can occur with any hair type and yes, even if you have straight hair. Still, curly hair is often a bit more sensitive to it because their hair structure is naturally less smooth. But there are many more culprits, such as:

• Dry and damaged hair
• Wrong care products
• Chemical treatments
• Blow-drying or straightening too often
• Showering with hot water
  
  

Frizzy hair often arises from a lack of moisture or protection. Fortunately, you can do something about it! Below you’ll find 10 tips that really help against frizzy hair – tested and approved by team Haarspullen.

 

TIP 1 - Regularly trim split ends

Frizzy hair often results from dry and damaged hair. Split ends can continue to split, causing more damage and more frizz. By trimming split ends in time, you reduce frizz in the hair. 

 

TIP 2 - Don’t brush your hair when it’s wet

Wet hair = fragile hair. Want to detangle knots? Do this before showering, so you also distribute the natural oils from your scalp.

 

TIP 3 - Use the right brush

Plastic hairbrushes can cause static electricity. Try a wooden brush – it’s often much gentler on your hair (and your frizz problem!). A hairbrush that is super popular, suitable for every hair type, and stimulates the scalp while detangling is the Mediceuticals Scalpro. 

 

TIP 4 - Use the right hair care

Choose the hair care that best suits your hair type. Do you find a hair routine a hassle? And do you only use shampoo? Then your hair cuticles stay open – and hello frizz! A good conditioner closes the cuticles and makes your hair smooth and shiny. So make sure you at least have a shampoo and a conditioner used!

 

TIP 5 - Protect your hair while sleeping

Sleep with your hair loosely tied – in a braid, ponytail, or bun. And if you really want smooth hair: invest in a silk or satin pillowcase or sleep with a Bonnet!

 

TIP 6 - Protect your hair with a heat protection product

Go ahead, you can keep using your straightener – as long as you use a good heat protector used. A spray or serum protects your hair from drying out and frizz.

 

TIP 7 - Don’t wash your hair too often

Washing daily? Not necessary. This removes essential oils and dries out your hair, resulting in frizz. Washing your hair two to three times a week is often more than enough.

 

TIP 8 - Dry your hair gently 

Don’t rub wildly with a towel – that damages your hair and causes... you guessed it, frizzy hair. Instead, use a soft microfiber towel or an old cotton T-shirt.

 

TIP 9 - Rinse your hair with cold water

Showering too hot dries out your skin and hair, but of course, it’s also not very eco-friendly. Cold water might not sound very appealing, but it closes your hair cuticles and makes your hair smoother and shinier. So don’t set the shower too hot and (if you really want to do it right) rinse your hair with cold water. Cold water can actually work as a natural conditioner! 

 

TIP 10 - Ask your hairdresser for advice

Frizzy hair really doesn’t have to be a permanent problem. With the right care, a little love, and smart choices, you’ll get pretty far. And hey, even the most beautiful Instagram hairstyles sometimes have a bit of frizz. Don’t stress it, just tame it.
