Get Rid of Frizzy Hair – Steps to De-poof Your Hair
Do you have out of control frizzy hair that you just can’t tame? When you’ve got lots of curls, waves, or very thick hair, the frizz is hard to get rid of.
Add humidity to your hair, and it can create a hair disaster!
There are some natural ways to get rid of hair that’s gone sideways and leave the poof behind. So put down those hot irons and follow these steps.
Frizzy hair happens when the cuticles of your hair are sticking up and/or not laying down properly. The frizzier your hair, the less shiny it will look. Light is refracted from hair that's able to reflect light. If you're cuticles aren't smooth, your hair will look dull and dry instead.
Steps to De-poof Frizzy Hair
One way to tame frizzy hair in a snap, is to pull your hair back off your face and secure with colorful, stylish hair ties, clips, or bows. A splash of color can take the attention away from your poofy hair!
If you want to defrizz your hair and add curl, use hot rollers instead of hot irons.
If your hair is naturally curly, the first thing you want to do is check the ingredients on the products you’re using. Don’t wash your hair with shampoos that contain sodium laureth/lauryl or ammonium laureth/lauryl sulfate. These ingredients are fine for a short period of time, but on frizzy hair they can strip natural oils and dry your hair out more. That only makes your poofy hair worse! Most organic shampoos don't have these ingredients in them, so opt for them when you buy hair products.
After you shower, use only a wide toothed comb or pick to get out tangles. If you use a brush, it will only make your hair poofier. If you have a hard time with knots, use a leave in detangler so you won't snap off your hair.
Try not to use products that contain silicones. They can build up on your hair and then you’ll need a sulfate to remove them and they can dry your hair out even more. How do you know if you’re using silicones? Any ingredient that ends in ‘cone’ or ‘xane’ is a silicone. Common silicones are Dimethicone, Cylmethicone, and Amodimethicone. If your product contains Amodimethicone, it is not as hard to remove as the other two and is considered less harmful to your hair.
Don’t blow dry your hair directly if you can. Use a diffuser when you blow dry your hair or let your hair dry naturally. If you must use your blow dryer, at least always use the warm or cool setting only and hold your blow dryer above your head with the air flow directed down.
Use leave in conditioners as they add a protective layer on the cuticle of your hair. This helps add extra weight to your hair, which helps defrizz your hair.
Try a final rinse of apple cider vinegar on your hair after you shampoo and condition. Mix 1 part vinegar to 3-4 parts water. Pour this directly on your hair after you squeeze most of the water out of it, then rinse with as cool/cold water as you can. Vinegar rinses help add shine to your hair, rinses out build up of hair products, and helps lay down hair cuticles. The more your hair cuticle lays down, the less frizzy it will be.
While you're hair dries, don't play with it or try to brush it out. Leave it alone until it dries and then add hair products such as alcohol free hair gels, hair glazes or a touch of coconut oil. During the day, run your fingertips and palms through your hair. The natural oils from your hands transfer to your hair which helps lay down the cuticle and teaches your hair to 'behave'!
Sleep with your hair on a satin pillowcase to create less friction and static in your hair.
Don't cut your hair in lots of layers. Adding layers can seem like a good idea but here's the thing. Longer hair has more weight which pulls it down. The more layers you cut into it, the less it weighs and more frizzy hair you'll have. You can opt to get it thinned by a professional occasionally though. Only do this once every 4-6 months though. More than that and you'll actually end up with just more layers. DON'T razor your hair either. This works initially but can compromise the integrity of your hair and make it more prone to breaking off. The more it breaks off, the more it looks frizzy.
French braid your hair or use a regular braid. Hair accessories distract from the frizz. Pulling your hair back off of your face helps other people notice your beautiful smile and not focus as much on your frizzy hair!
Use Biosilk Silk Therapy products, which adds shine and and gives a silky feel to your hair.
