Good morning everyone. Does your hair sometimes look like you just stuck your finger into an electrical outlet? Are there days your hair appears two feet taller than what it was the day before?
Chances are if your hair has even the slightest wave or curl, it’ll be susceptible to frizz. If the frizzes are messing with your looks, go through this list of Do’s and Don’ts:
- DO massage your scalp and hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. Natural oils will remain in your hair, relaxing the frizz.
- DO shampoo no more than twice or thrice a week as shampoo strips the hair off natural oil after each wash.
- DO rinse with the coldest water you can stand. The cold water locks down the hair cuticle and makes hair look sleeker, less frizzy.
- DO use a big round brush to smooth your hair as you dry. The advantage of aluminum brushes is that the inner core warms with the heat of the dryer, providing the double advantage of heat and styling at the same time.
- DO carry an umbrella if you think it might rain. Wet hair leads to frizz. And wear a hat to cover your head in the sun and the wind.
- DO have your hair cut regularly. No matter how long your hair is, split ends only add to the problem.
- DO blow dry in a downward motion. Running the hair dryer over hair up and down causes the cuticle to frizz and split. Divide hair is sections with curler pins and dry one section at a time.
