How To Reduce Frizz

Whether you have curly, wavy, or straight hair, frizz can affect us all, especially when humidity strikes.

In this blog, I’ll share some tips and tricks to help you tame the frizz and keep your hair in top condition.

Understanding the Causes of Frizz

• Humidity: Moisture in the air is the biggest culprit.

• Dryness: When hair is dry, it’s more likely to absorb moisture from the air.

• Damage: Heat styling, chemical treatments, and rough handling can damage the cuticle, making frizz more likely.

• Hair Type: Curly and wavy hair types are naturally more prone to frizz due to their structure.

• The key to fighting frizz is keeping your hair well-moisturised. When your hair is hydrated, it’s less likely to absorb moisture from the air. Use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner that are designed for hydration. Look for ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and natural oils (such as argan oil or coconut oil) that lock in moisture.

Condition with Care

• Deep conditioning treatments are a must for frizz-prone hair. A weekly deep conditioner or hair mask can help nourish and repair the hair, sealing the cuticle and reducing frizz. Apply the conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the roots if your hair is fine, to prevent weighing it down.

Use the Right Towel

• The way you dry your hair can make a big difference in reducing frizz. Instead of using a regular towel, which can cause friction and disrupt the cuticle, opt for a microfibre towel we would recommend our XL Luxury Hair Wrap. These materials are gentler on your hair and help reduce frizz. Make sure to use a hairbrush that is gentle on your hair, we recommend our Luxury Paddle Brush.

Regular Trims

• Split ends and damaged hair contribute to frizz. Regular trims every 6 to 8 weeks can help keep your hair healthy and reduce the likelihood of frizz. If you’re prone to frizz, consider a blunt cut or layers that enhance your hair’s natural texture while keeping frizz at bay.

Sleep on Silk

• Cotton pillowcases can cause friction and absorb moisture from your hair, leading to frizz. Switching to a silk or satin pillowcase can reduce friction and help your hair retain moisture, resulting in smoother hair when you wake up.

Reducing frizz takes a combination of good hair care practices, the right products, and a little bit of patience. By keeping your hair well-moisturised, minimising damage, and protecting it from humidity, you can achieve smoother, shinier, and more manageable hair.
