Tips on How to Tame Wavy, Frizzy Hair

Holding the frizz back and allowing your inner ‘riz’ to take the centre stage, here are all the unmissable tips.

Tip #1: Take a trim

Who doesn’t love long locks? But thick locks aren’t always healthy, which is why frequent trims; once in three months are integral to sustain hair that’s great, inside/out. If not, one can suffer from the curse of split ends — they can expand up the hair shaft, which can increase the frizziness of your hair. And it prevents that #staticlook - it’s crucial to keep the ends of your mane well-trimmed. So, make your way to your go-to saloon and do the overdue! And ladies, that’s how you get rid of frizzy hair.

Tip #2: Choose a microfibre towel

Sometimes the problem lies in the little things and that may be your towel. Although that give dry spin might be your favourite post-showering ritual it actually might be the reason for frizz. Wonder how? Well, that’s because it can rough up your cuticle. So, instead of drying your hair with a standard terry cloth towel, switch to a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt. Choosing alternatives with finer fibres leads to less friction and snagging on your hair.

Tip #3: Protect your locks from humidity

If you live in a coastal city, the view comes with a downfall! Being someone who lives by the Arabian Sea, the breeze and moisture-laden air takes a toll on my locks, leading to nothing but frizz! You must think how? But when the water content of the air around you is greater than the water content retained by your hair, your cuticles begin to absorb water from the atmosphere around it. This causes it to swell and rise with frizz instead of staying flat. To do away with dry frizzy hair, keep your tresses tied - a top knot will do the anti-frizz magic.

Tip #5: Hydrate your strands

We’ve said it thrice so you get how important it is — and we could say it the fourth time as well. Pampering your hair with hydrating potions is an unfailing way of curbing frizz. So much so, we suggest a hydrating product in every step of your hair care regime. We’re talking about stating your mane TLC with the TRESemmé Keratin Repair BondPlex Oil Hair Serum. This magic potion is packed with keratin and marula oil, which work together to repair and protect your hair from damage.  So, if you’re looking for an A1 hydrator here is it. Follow this step with a quick and comforting wash. Once done, don’t neglect the most essential; the conditioner. Apply your chosen conditioner generously to the ends of your strand, keep it on for about 5-10 minutes and wash it off with warm water for that anti-frizz goodness.

Tip #6: Keep heat at bay

5

At times ironed curls or poker straight hair can be what your look deserves and demands. However, loading your locks with heaty products can do more damage than good in the long run - we’re talking about frizz. Which is why you let your hair live a little and keep it away from the electric gadgets. To give a glimpse into the sciences — heat causes an immense amount of damage to your hair, making it brittle and dry because it directly attacks the building protein of your hair – keratin - and causes it to degrade. This loss of structure leads to damaged cuticles that permit moisture to escape and air to enter — damaging the hair from within, leading to what we see as stubborn frizz.

Tip #7: Invest in deep treatments

6

Getting rid of frizz permanently requires some effort - we mean, treatments. Such as, the best in the business; a hairspa! Giving your locks time to heal and repair, a hair spa — thorough conditioning love, does the best for your hair. Not only does it pamper your strands with that shine and lustre but also feeds it with hydration, curbing the tide of frizz. If not the usual hair spa, also try out the other two famous ones, keratin and cysteine! Giving your locks that kiss of protein, investing in these deep treatments can do away with frizz permanently.

Answering your questions here!

Q1 How often should I wash my frizzy hair?

A: How often you wash your frizzy hair depends on your hair type and how much oil your scalp produces. If you have dry hair, you may only need to wash it once or twice a week. If you have oily hair, you may need to wash it every other day. Experiment to find the right frequency for your hair.

Q2 Can I get rid of frizzy hair permanently?

A: There is no permanent cure for frizzy hair, but you can manage it with proper hair care. Regular hair trims, deep conditioning treatments, and avoiding harsh styling tools and products can help minimise frizz. In some cases, chemical straightening or relaxing treatments can also help reduce frizz, but these treatments can be damaging to the hair and should be done by a professional.

Q3 What are some styling tips for frizzy hair?

A: To style frizzy hair, avoid using a brush, which can make frizz worse. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle your hair. Apply a smoothing serum or cream to your hair before blow-drying and use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to minimise frizz. You can also use a curling iron or flat iron to smooth out your hair but be sure to use a heat protectant first.
