Moisture can damage your hair. Fortunately, you can tame frizzy hair by changing your hair care, including using special products or traditional ingredients. If you don't want to be stuck with frizzy hair all day, you need to understand how to prevent it.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Daily Hair Care in a Humid Environment
Step 1. Find the right haircut
If you live in a humid area, find a haircut that suits your hair type. Long hair and straight cuts add weight to the hair, which reduces the chance that it will grow out. Asymmetrical haircuts and slightly layered haircuts will reduce the thickness of the hair. Layered haircuts do make your hair look curlier, but they can also cause hair to swell.
Step 2. Don't wash your hair too often
Shampoo is great for cleaning hair, but shampoo makes your hair bouncy. This is due to the washing away of the hair's natural oils, which makes your hair smooth and tangle free.
Many people don't wash their hair for almost a week. You can wash your hair any time, but most people agree that waiting a few days before shampooing again results in healthier, less frizzy hair
Step 3. When shampooing, rinse the conditioner with cold water
Its effectiveness is debated, but cold water is said to cause your hair cuticles to tighten, add shine to your hair, and make your hair more manageable. However, some scientists dispute this. According to them, the hair cuticle is not a living cell so it can't be attached. However, using cold water won't cause your hair to swell, so give it a try and see for yourself.
As discussed below, some special conditioners that don't need to be rinsed off can treat frizzy hair
Step 4. Dry hair gently
If your hair is often tangled and appears to be sticking out, don't rub it with a towel but just pat it gently. Allow your hair to dry on its own to reduce the chance of it growing.
- If you dry your hair with a hairdryer, avoid moving the dryer too often. Dry your hair slowly and slowly on the lowest setting.
- Dry in the direction of the hair shaft, not sideways, because although the sideways motion adds volume to the hair, it also makes the frizzy hair swell.
- Remember that a hairdryer removes moisture from your hair, which can lead to frizz.
Step 5. Don't brush your hair too often
You may be used to combing your hair after you shower, but combing your hair creates friction that creates heat and damages the hair cuticles. This causes hair to swell and tangle. When you want to comb your hair, use a wide-toothed comb or a rubber-tipped brush. When you're done, gently comb through your hair with your fingers.
Step 6. Choose a hairstyle that suits your natural hair type
In humid air, your hair will return to its natural state and will be very difficult to manage. If you have straight hair, don't curl your hair. If your hair is curly or curly, look for styles that are good for wavy hair.
- Try curling your hair in a ponytail and then using a tangle-free gel.
- When your hair is really messy, a hat or scarf can help you cover it up.
Part 2 of 3: Choosing the Right Products for Your Hair
Step 1. Choose a shampoo designed to avoid frizz and frizz
Look for brands that clearly state that their products reduce frizz. If not, look for a shampoo that can moisturize and soften your hair.
Step 2. Choose the right conditioner
Normal conditioner and conditioner that doesn't need to be rinsed off are actually the same thing. However, it all depends on the ingredients contained in the conditioner. When choosing a conditioner, look for one that contains amino silicon and a cationic surfactant, or both. Both of these ingredients can overcome the main causes of hair growth, namely damage to the hair and static electricity.
- Amino silicone helps the silicone in the conditioner to stick to damaged hair, so the conditioner works more effectively.
- Cationic surfactants contain a positive electrical charge that can reduce hair swelling due to static electricity.
Step 3. Use a product that softens the hair
Like conditioner, a softening serum applied to the hair shaft can reduce frizz. However, some softening products "weight" your hair. Use just enough until you know the right amount for your hair.
Step 4. Use styling products
Serums can soften sections of hair well, but serums can't keep hair from falling apart. Use a softening gel or a light gel to keep your hair tidy.
Part 3 of 3: Preventing Hair from Growing with Traditional Herbs
Step 1. Try an olive or coconut oil treatment
Occasional maintenance can maintain healthy hair and avoid frizz and frizz. Apply a spoon or two of warm olive or coconut oil to the ends of your hair. Wrap your hair in plastic or a shower cap and wait for about 30 minutes to a few hours. Then, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner to remove excess oil.
Be careful when applying oil. Dab the oil on the ends or the middle of the hair shaft only. Putting oil on the hair roots will clog the pores of the head and cause acne
Step 2. Try using oils that don't need to be rinsed off
Treatments with oils such as moroccan oil or baby oil can take care of your stray hair. Pour a small amount of the oil into the palm of your hand, rub it in, and apply it to your hair.
Step 3. Use foods that contain oils, such as mayonnaise and avocado
Greasy foods like mayonnaise and avocado can strengthen hair and treat frizz, even if it's messy when used. Mix a teaspoon of mayonnaise with your conditioner, or mash an avocado, then apply it to your hair and cover it for 10 minutes. After that, rinse with warm water until the hair feels soft.
