Combing Frizzy Hair


Combing frizzy hair
It is always advisable to use a wide-toothed comb or even fingers when necessary. It is better not to comb or scrunch the hair when wet. It is better to blow dry with a round natural-bristled brush.

Use a hair pick instead of a hairbrush. Using hair brush on thick hair and hair prone to frizziness will only cause split ends. Instead it is simple and safe to use a hair pick when hair is wet or finger comb when hair is dry.



Combating hair frizz

Hair shampoos, conditioners and moisturizers have to be chosen with special care. One should choose a hair product based on the thickness of the hair. For thin hair, too much moisturizer will get rid of frizziness, but it will tend to make the hair flat. For thicker hair, it would be wise to use a conditioner that is formulated to help smoothness.

Leave in conditioners are a good option for all types of hair no matter the thickness.
Shampoo hair to the minimum; restrict it to only twice a week. This is because shampooing can dry out hair and dry hair can cause frizz. If you need to wash hair daily to keep out the dirt, then it is better to dilute the shampoo, or use only the conditioner and lots of water.

It is always better to have hair rinsed in the coldest water after a shampoo and a conditioner for straight hair. The coldest water will help hair to look less frizzy as it locks down the hair cuticle and makes hair slicker and softer.

To combat the use of styling products that contribute to frizz, it is best to use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week.

For frizziness that is caused due to damaged hair, deep conditioning treatment once a week helps to smoothen and soften the hair frizz. Deep moisturing treatments every week helps to tame frizziness.

Heat helps the conditioner to penetrate deeply into the hair. It is suggested to sit under a warm hood dryer or wrap a towel around the head leaving the conditioner to work for atleast an hour or even overnight for best results.

Never rub the hair after hair wash. Instead gently squeeze out the excessive moisture with a towel. If hair is very fine, it is better not to over-condition it. It is better to use a lighter styling produce like a mousse instead of a gel.
It would be ideal to use a hair mask. This is ideal for deep conditioning the hair.

Treatment for Frizzy Hair

Causes for hair frizz

Some women have natural frizzy hair. It is a part of their genetic makeup. They are born with curly locks that are frizzy. High humidity in the weather is often the cause of frizziness. A humid environment can make hair look frizzy even after being outdoors only for a few seconds. Humidity is indeed a challenge for hair frizz. Elements such as sun's rays and strong wind can also wreck havoc on hair and cause unmanageable frizz. Overuse of styling products that leads to dryness causes hair to get frizzy.

Damaged hair from perming, coloring and bleaching tends to develop frizz. Gels, mousses or hairsprays that have high alcohol content will worsen hair frizz. Often over drying of hair is a key cause for frizzy hair. Abuse of heat appliances with excessive blow-drying of hair or excessive use of curling irons can cause hair frizz.

Use of harsh chemicals and over-processing of hair with sodium, calcium or lithium hydroxide relaxers can cause frizz. Harsh chemical relaxers, often made from lye, cause damage to hair. Constant straightening of the hair can contribute to the problem of frizz. Hot humid hair can make all kinds of frizz. Hence hot oil treatments can also cause frizz. Use of certain oil-based conditioners can often contribute to frizz.

Hair that is naturally very coarse generally tends to become dry and frizzy.
Lack of moisture and lack of protein in the cortical layers of the hair can cause frizzy hair.
Hair can turn frizzy due to medication. Imbalance in the pH level of the hair can contribute to this frizziness. Stress and illness coupled poor diet and nutritional habits with lack of vitamins, minerals and amino acids leads to hair damage, split ends, frizz and hair fall.

Touching hair too often, combing and scrunching curly hair can cause frizz. The more hair is touched, the more it will frizz. A bad haircut can do much harm and aggravate hair frizz.

Treatment for Hair Frizz

Certain simple tips can be followed to make curly hair more manageable, smooth and less frizzy. You can tame frizz to a great extent.

Never handle hair too much. If at all you want to touch your hair, then it is better to moisten your fingers with water or conditioner and then run the fingers through the hair. This will help to smoothen out the frizz.

It is recommended not to wash hair everyday. This will strip hair of its natural oils, which are the best moisturizers.

For coarse hair, which is generally dry and frizzy, it is recommended to use hot curling iron. Hair, like clothes when ironed becomes smooth and shiny. Softening techniques can flatten fly-aways and frizziness by softening the molecules of the hair.
Hair should be blow dried methodically. Running the dryer over hair up and down can cause the cuticle to split and result in frizz. Hair can be divided into sections and blow-dry section-by-section.

Although this can take time and practice, it is worth the effort.
