Do you dream of silky smooth, frizz-free hair that always looks well-groomed? Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair, frizzy hair can really disrupt your look. Fortunately, there are smart tricks and products that help you keep your hair smooth and shiny. In this blog, you’ll discover how to control frizzy hair and which care routine is essential for it.

 

What causes frizzy hair?

Before we get to the solution, it’s good to understand why hair becomes frizzy. These are the most common causes of frizzy hair:

• Lack of moisture – Dry hair absorbs moisture from the air, causing frizz.
• Damage – Heat from styling tools and chemical treatments break down the hair structure.
• Weather conditions – High humidity and wind can increase frizz.
• Wrong hair care – Sulfates and harsh shampoos can dry out your hair and make it frizzier. Not everyone is sensitive to this; for some hair types, it works better to sulfate-free hair products to use while others can also use hair care with sulfates just fine. 

Where there is a cause, we find a solution! You can fix frizzy hair with the right routine.

 

The ultimate hair routine for frizz-free and smooth hair

Do you want to transform frizzy hair into smooth, shiny hair? Then follow these steps:

 

• Step 1: Hydration is key

 

A moisturizing shampoo and conditioner form the basis for frizz-free hair. Choose products rich in nourishing ingredients like keratin and oils.

➡ Tip: Use a shampoo that gently cleanses without sulfates, so your hair doesn’t dry out.

 

• Step 2: Protect your hair from heat

 

Do you love styling with a hairdryer or straightener? Then always use a heat protection spray or serum to prevent damage.

 

• Step 3: Nourishing care

 

Using a good hair mask once a week helps to deeply nourish and smooth your hair. Ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, and keratin strengthen the hair and reduce frizz.

➡ Extra Boost: Apply the mask to towel-dried hair and leave it on for 10-15 minutes for intensive care. Want to give your hair an extra nourishing boost? Then you can leave the hair mask on longer while you relax on the couch! 

 

• Step 4: Styling without frizz

 

Use a light anti-frizz cream or serum to make your hair extra smooth. Avoid heavy oils if you have fine hair, so your locks won’t get weighed down.

➡ Favorite: A serum or leave-in from the Wella Ultimate Smooth collection gives your hair that extra smooth and shiny finish!

 

What are the best tips to prevent frizzy hair?

Sometimes the solution to reduce frizzy hair is closer than you think! These handy tips are easy to apply and you’ll see immediate results, smooth hair here we come! 

Tip 1: Use a satin pillowcase – This reduces friction and prevents frizz. Because friction is reduced, the chance of hair breakage is much smaller! And did you know that a satin pillowcase also has benefits for your (sensitive) skin?

Tip 2: Pat your hair dry instead of rubbing – Soft & Gentle! Gently pat your hair dry to avoid damaging the hair cuticles. The very best is to use a microfiber towel to use or an old t-shirt, this fabric is even gentler on your hair.
 

Tip 3: Don’t brush your hair when it’s dry – This may sound strange, because you’ve probably also read somewhere that you shouldn’t brush wet hair. Brushing your hair dry can make it frizzy, and brushing it wet risks hair breakage. But we have the solution! Use a brush especially for wet hair! Do you have curly hair? Then use a wide-tooth comb on damp hair. A wide comb is also ideal for distributing a hair mask or conditioner!
 

Tip 4: Use a little hairspray on a toothbrush – Perfect for smoothing down flyaways without weighing your hair down.

 

Tip 5: The best hair oil to prevent and reduce frizzy hair - The choice is huge! That’s why we made a clear list with the best hair oils of 2025.

What is the difference between dry and frizzy hair?

Dry and frizzy hair are often confused, but they are not exactly the same. Here you can read how to recognize the difference and how to best care for your hair.

 

Dry hair – This means your hair lacks natural oils and moisture. It feels rough, lacks shine, and can break easily. Causes are often excessive washing, heat from styling tools, or chemical treatments. The solution? Hydrating shampoos, conditioners, and nourishing oils.

 

Frizzy hair – This happens when the hair cuticles are open and attract moisture from the air. This causes a messy, frizzy effect, especially in humid weather. Frizzy hair can affect both dry and healthy hair. To prevent this, use anti-frizz products like serums and smoothing hair creams.

➡ Tip from Ingrid: The Wella Ultimate Smooth line not only fights frizz but also nourishes your hair, so it doesn’t dry out and stays smooth! ✨

 

Damaged hair - This hair type often has split ends, feels rough and fragile, and lacks shine. It is caused by frequent use of heat tools, harsh shampoos, or chemical treatments like bleaching. Unsure if you have damaged or frizzy hair? We help you with finding the perfect match for your hair.
