Everyone should take good care of their hair, regardless of their hair type. However, frizzy hair requires extra care and attention because this hair type tends to have slow growth. In addition, frizzy curly hair contains little water so it is prone to breakage. Whether your hair is allowed to grow naturally or is chemically treated, taking care and styling it properly will keep it healthy and in top condition!
Step
Method 1 of 4: Preparing Hair for Styling
Step 1. Choose the right hair products
Use products specially formulated for the texture of your hair. Curly curly hair can be straightened, made wavy, curly curly, or tightly curled. The product you choose should contain a natural moisturizer, such as olive oil or shea butter.
- Avoid shampoos and conditioners that contain parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals. You should also be wary of common ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate or lauryl ether sodium sulfate because they are basically detergents that will strip your hair of moisture and make it dry.
- Use age-appropriate products when you wash your child's hair. It's a good idea to use a mild shampoo and conditioner that will moisturize your hair and won't hurt your eyes.
Step 2. Wash your hair
It is important to wash your hair every 7-14 days. Start by wetting your hair under a faucet or with a spray bottle. Pour a small amount of moisturizing shampoo into the palm of your hand. Rub to form a lather and apply directly to the scalp. Rinse hair with warm water. After using shampoo, don't forget to apply rinse conditioner. Massage the hair shaft with a generous amount of conditioner, avoiding the hair roots and scalp. Allow the product to soak in before rinsing it off with cold water. Squeeze excess water from hair.
If your hair is very dry, try using only conditioner. This method is called “co-washing” or “no-pooing” and is ideal for curly or straight hair types. If you use this method, choose a conditioner that is cleansing and specially formulated for care without the use of shampoo
Step 3. Avoid hair becoming frizzy
After washing your hair and using conditioner, dry your hair gently with a towel to absorb the excess water. Microfiber towels are most effective for this purpose. Don't rub your hair with a towel as this can make your hair frizzy and damaged.
Step 4. Apply a leave-in conditioner
Pour leave-in conditioner in your palms and coat your hair with this nourishing and softening product. This will help retain moisture in your hair and leave it feeling soft. Leave-in conditioner helps untangle frizz while taming frizz or wild hair.
- Look for products that contain natural moisturizers, such as avocado oil and shea butter.
- Skip this step if your hair is very thin or too oily.
Step 5. Do deep conditioning
Using a deep conditioner will improve the appearance of your hair and soften dry or damaged hair. Before leaving the bathroom, rinse your hair with warm water. Squeeze the hair to remove excess water. Apply the product to wet hair. Start at the ends and work your way up to the hair shaft. Do not apply the product on the scalp. After you have applied the product evenly, cover your hair with a shower cap. Activate the product on a heating cap, dryer on a low setting, or hood dryer on a low setting. Heat the hair for 10-30 minutes. After that, take off the shower cap and rinse your hair with cold water to close the cuticles.
- You can do deep conditioning between twice a week to twice a month.
- There are two types of deep conditioning treatments; moisturizing treatments and protein based treatments.
- Try to look for products with a high pH, which will help open the hair cuticles.
Step 6. Deal with tangled hair
Start with the hair at the nape of the neck and work your way up to the forehead. Part the hair using the tip of a rat tail comb or your fingers. Separate the hair into sections of about 5x5 cm. Comb each section to untangle any tangles. Apply a small amount of your favorite hair oil to each section of hair while combing through it.
Work carefully. Hair becomes very brittle when wet. If necessary, use a spray bottle filled with water to re-moisturize your hair as frizzy, dry hair is more difficult to handle and untangle
Step 7. Dry the hair
To dry your hair, choose one of the following three methods. If you have natural, unstraightened hair, and don't plan on straightening it, the aerating method is the best option. If you straighten your hair, blow dry it with a heating cap or hood dryer if you let it dry on its own, it will lose its shape and not radiate a healthy shine. Drying your natural hair with a blow dryer will make your hair look smooth and shiny. Before drying your hair using a heat-generating dryer, don't forget to use a heat protectant.
Step 8. Straighten the hair
After drying your hair with a heating cap or blow dryer, straighten your hair with a flat iron. All types of hair can be straightened, from wavy to frizzy hair. You can use a flat iron to make straightened hair shinier! Spray a heat protectant product that can moisturize your hair. Start with the hair at the back and work your way to the front, separating your hair into 2-inch-thick strands. Move the vise quickly and smoothly. Finally, spray the product to make hair shiny.
- Use a vise with high-quality ceramic. Make sure you use a device that can display the temperature so you can monitor and control the heat.
- If you are using a flat iron on straightened or colored hair, preheat the appliance to between 135-160 °C.
- If you straighten wavy, curly, and tightly curled hair, set the flat iron to between 150-180 °C.
Method 2 of 4: Straightening Hair
Step 1. Prepare hair for treatment
For 3-5 days before straightening the hair, clean the hair. Use shampoo to remove product residue that builds up on your scalp. You can use a shampoo that contains sulfates, which will make your hair very dry, or a shampoo without sulfates. After shampooing your hair, follow up with a rinse-off conditioner and a protein-based deep conditioning treatment.
For hair that is less prone to breakage, use a mild protein-based treatment. Reconstructive hair masks are perfect for this purpose. For hair prone to moderate breakage, apply a protein-rich product; Look for products that list keratin and amino acids in the ingredients list
Step 2. Neutralize the scalp
Divide the hair into 4 equal parts. First divide the hair into two sections on the left and right, then divide again into top and bottom sections. Secure each section with tweezers. Then, put on rubber gloves. Divide one section of hair into thin strands. Place the neutralizing gel bottle nozzle directly onto the scalp. Spray a small amount of product on each strand of hair. Continue until you have finished the entire section of hair. Continue by spraying the product all over your hairline in a thin layer. Don't forget to cover the nape of the neck and behind the ears to protect them! Spray the gel onto the gloved hand. Massage each section of hair with the gel.
Step 3. Apply hair straightener
Cover your shoulders with a towel. Start at the back of the hair, and divide the hair horizontally to a thickness of about 2.5 cm. Wear rubber gloves. Dip the applicator brush into the hair straightening product. Start near your scalp and coat each side of your 2.5cm thick hair with the product. Do not apply the product across the demarcation line or the line where the newly grown hair meets the previously straightened hair. Repeat until each section of hair is done.
Apply the product quickly. Don't spend more than 5 minutes on each section
Step 4. Massage the product into the hair
Use gloved hands to brush through the product-coated hair. Make sure you don't cross the demarcation line. Comb and distribute the product throughout the hair until the demarcation line is no longer visible. This will take up to 10 minutes.
Step 5. Rinse hair with warm water
This step will clean most of the chemicals. Apply the neutralizing shampoo and conditioner that came with the product. Rinse neutralizer and repeat until all product is removed from hair. Absorb excess water from hair with a clean towel. Do a deep conditioning on the hair, leave for 20-30 minutes for the product to absorb. Rinse your hair thoroughly, then use a leave-in conditioner.
Method 3 of 4: Coloring Hair
Step 1. Prepare hair for treatment
About 1-2 weeks before coloring your hair, apply a protein-based treatment. Do not wash your hair the day before or on the day the coloring is done. This will cause the hair to lose its natural oils. As a result, the hair will be dry and prone to damage.
- For hair that is less prone to breakage, use a mild protein-based treatment. A reconstructive hair mask can be an ideal choice.
- For hair prone to moderate breakage, apply a protein-rich product; Look for products that list keratin and amino acids in the ingredients list.
Step 2. Choose the right product for you
There are 5 types of hair dyes to choose from. If you want to dye your hair for the short term, choose a rinse-off dye or a temporary dye. Semi-permanent dyes are a great choice if you're looking for chemical-free dyes (these dyes will last longer than rinse-off dyes or temporary dyes). Semi-permanent products contain a small amount of peroxide, which can maintain hair color for 24 washes. Permanent dyes contain ammonia and peroxide. This powerful chemical allows the color to last for a very long time!
Step 3. Color your hair
There are two options; You can color your hair professionally at a salon or do it yourself at home. Whatever you choose, be sure to follow the instructions provided!
Method 4 of 4: Hair Styling
Step 1. Apply the dreadlock style
The dreadlock style is very fashionable and suitable for men or women. There are several types of dreadlocks to choose from, including twist dreadlocks and freestyle dreadlocks. Twisted dreadlocks can be done by dividing the hair with a thickness of about 2.5-5 cm. Twist each section of hair using beeswax or gel applied to your fingertips. Don't forget to pinch each part so it doesn't unravel again. Freestyle dreadlocks are formed by ignoring the hair! Don't wash, moisturise, or comb your hair for 2-3 weeks so the hair will form dreadlocks on its own.
- To treat dreadlocks, use shampoo and conditioner every 3 weeks with a product specially formulated for dreadlocks. To fight bacterial growth between washes, wipe the dreads and scalp with a cotton ball moistened with an astringent.
- Moisturize dreadlocks with natural oils or an oil-based product. While sleeping, wrap your hair in a satin cloth to retain moisture.
- It is easier to care for short dreads than long dreads.
Step 2. Apply a well-styled hairstyle for a natural look
Frizzy curly hair tends to be dry and brittle. Therefore, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner once a week with a product that contains a moisturizer. Once your hair is dry, comb it with a wide-toothed comb, fork comb, or a brush with natural bristles. Comb hair in a topknot style; one on the front, two on each side, one on the top, and a few on the back. Combing and brushing your hair will help spread the natural oils your scalp secretes throughout your hair. If necessary, apply the oil to the hair.
Add decorative combs, bobby pins, or artificial flowers to enhance your hairstyle
Step 3. Try hair sticks or extensions
If you're using curly hair or extensions, that means you're adding synthetic hair to your natural hair to improve the appearance of your hair and deal with hair loss in certain areas. For best results, it is recommended that you hire a professional to install the hair patch. However, it doesn't hurt if you and your friends want to experiment and attach hair sticks to each other. There are several techniques you can choose from:
- To get a natural look, attach your hair strand by strand. This method is time consuming and requires between 50-100 strands of hair. Connecting hair can be applied using the method of tying, pinning, shrink tubing, or micro tubing.
- Weft extension hair is a long braid. The hair is tied together at the top and hangs freely at the ends. This type of extension can be attached by several methods, including micro-rings or glue. In addition, weft extension hair can also be sewn to the hair.
- Adhesive weft extensions are a newer product. At the top of the extension there is a double-sided polyurethane adhesive tape that holds the hair together. To install this type of hair extension, one side of the adhesive tape is affixed to the scalp. The extensions and natural hairs are then lifted up and the rest of the extensions are placed under them.
- If you want a temporary makeover, try a bobby pin. All you have to do is pin the extensions where you want them and remove the pins at the end of the day.
Step 4. Try a box braid
If you're transitioning from chemically treated hair to natural hair, try a box braid. After washing and untangling your hair, separate about 2.5 cm of hair at the nape of the neck. Clip the hair over it so it doesn't interfere. Divide the loose hair into 2-inch-thick sections. Braid each section from root to tip. Secure the end of the braid with a rubber band or clip. Continue braiding your hair with a thickness of 2.5 square cm until all sections of hair are braided.
Step 5. Apply the cornrow style
Cornrow can be an attractive hairstyle for both men and women. Describe the tangle of hair. Decide how large you want your cornrows to be and divide your hair into equal sections according to the selected size. Take one section, divide the hair into 3 sections, and start braiding the hair from the hairline. While you work towards the ends, add hair gradually. This will make the braid stick to the scalp. After adding the rest of the hair into each braid, continue braiding your hair as usual. Secure the ends of the hair with a rubber band or bobby pins. Repeat this process until each section of hair is done.
Step 6. Try twisting
You can apply twist styles, depending on the texture of your hair and the time you have. Pin the ends of your hair while they are still wet, then dry your hair with a hood dryer or let it dry overnight. To get spiral curls, remove the twist. Some twists can last about 2 weeks. Twisting force can also be left and will eventually disappear. However, do not let the style twist for more than 2 weeks because it can turn into dreadlocks.
Step 7. Shave or shave your head
Cut short or bald can be a cool choice for men and women. This style can look relaxed and elegant. In addition, this hairstyle does not require much maintenance! If the condition of the hair is very severe or too much processed with chemicals, give it a fresh start with a bald head. For a quick shave, use an electric shaver with a guard. Determine the desired length and trim the excess hair evenly. If you want to shave your head, use an electric shaver without a guard or a razor to cut the hair.
Step 8. Try hot rollers
Hot rollers are perfect for styling hair. They come in a variety of sizes and lengths, and can be purchased at your local beauty shop. It took 20 minutes to use the hot roller. Put on the rollers before starting the day. Divide your hair into sections using the tip of a sharp-handled comb, then attach the hair rollers in the pattern you like.
- For long hair, you can apply hot rollers only to the ends, or use them to create bangs.
- For short hair, it is better to put rollers all over the hair. Install the rollers in a straight line from back to front. Once the rollers have cooled, remove them and use a fork comb to style your hair the way you want it.
- Try experimenting with hot rollers until you get the hairstyle you like best.
