Are you a frizzy friend?
If you’re hoping to learn how to get rid of frizzy hair for good, we’ll tell you how. Frizz is the number one struggle when it comes to hair woes. There are a few different causes of frizzy hair, but the two most common are dryness and breakage. Let's discuss the root cause of pesky frizz.
Exposure to stressors like harsh shampoos, hot styling tools, and chemical services can strip the protective layer of lipids that help seal in moisture and keep your strands smooth. This ends up making your hair porous. Porous hair absorbs moisture (like humidity in the air) and causes the hair to swell, ultimately resulting in unkempt, frizzy-looking strands. Not great!
You’re unlikely to find anything that eliminates frizz completely. With that said, maintaining a proper haircare routine can help smooth your strands, both in the short and long term.
Here is are our 5 tips to remove frizz from your life to make getting ready so much easier in your day to day!
Choose the Right Shampoo
Choosing the right shampoo is essential for frizz control. Look for a formula that cleans without stripping away the hair’s natural oils, like Repair-Me.Wash or Loma Moisturizing Shampoo. Once you’ve chosen your formula, it's time to get shampooing!
Another important tip, though it’s important to keep your hair and scalp clean, you may not need to shampoo every day. For some, it’s best not to. The natural oils produced by your scalp is great for your strands!
Purchase Loma Moisturizing Wash
Apply Conditioner From Roots To Ends
Choosing the right conditioner is key. We want to stay away from products that coat the hair, instead choose products that are the proper pH. Products that have a lower pH will actually seal down the cuticle. A smooth cuticle = smooth hair. We love Re.Store by Kevin Murphy or Loma Moisturizing Conditioner.
Do a Weekly Hair Mask
Add a deep conditioning mask to your weekly haircare routine for lasting frizz control. We recommend Loma Deep Conditioner. The nourishing formula deeply moisturizes and helps strengthen weak, brittle tresses. With regular use, it also helps protect hair against future damage.
Use Frizz Fighting Products
Think of products as liquid tools. It takes tools to get the job done. Since frizz is created from damage and/or from a distressed cuticle, choosing the right products is crucial. We always recommend a heat protectant. This will protect your hair from future damage. Our absolute favorite is Heated.Defense and Smooth.Again treatment. This product delivers all the benefits of a hard-working styling product, alongside the smoothing and nourishing benefits of a treatment. This leave-in smoothing treatment helps eliminate frizz, leaving you with smoother, silkier more touchable hair.
Use the Right Tools, Go Ionic
Ionic blow-dryers reduce frizz by compressing the cuticle, which locks out puff-inducing moisture. Ionic technology and a ceramic heating element further help to evenly distribute heat and moisture, reducing frizz and keeping hair soft and healthy. If you're a frequent blow dryer, we recommend investing in a new dryer.
