Hair looks less attractive because it is fluffy and difficult to style for various reasons. It could be, the hair becomes tangled during sleep at night, exposed to rain, or too often held. The good news is, there is an easy way to solve this problem. By applying some of the tips in this article, you can get rid of frizzy and unruly hair so that your hair stays neat all day long.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Applying an Instant Solution
Step 1. Grease hair with oil evenly
Pour a few drops of oil on your palms, such as olive oil, argan oil, or coconut oil and apply it evenly to your hair with your fingers. Apply the oil starting from the ends of the hair towards the roots of the hair. This step makes the hair look smoother and softer.
Depending on the length of your hair, use enough oil because your hair will get limp if you put too much oil on it. If needed, oil can be added. Do not let you have to wash your hair so that the treatment must start from the beginning. Use the oil little by little
Step 2. Spray an anti-frizz product on your hair
An aerosol anti-frizz product coats the hair you want to style so it doesn't swell and keeps it neat. Do not use non-aerosol anti-frizz products because these products make the hair absorb moisture from the air so that it easily expands.
Step 3. Put on a hat or use a scarf
In addition to wrapping the fluffy hair, hats and scarves protect hair from the sun, wind, heat, and cold. Damaged hair is usually fluffy or untidy.
Step 4. Braid your hair
Besides looking neater and more attractive, you will look cooler if your hair is braided. So that you can braid your hair, learn how to make a regular braid, a French braid, or a fishtail braid.
Step 5. Trim the ends of the hair regularly
If the hair is often fluffy, there is a possibility that the condition of the hair is problematic due to split ends. In addition, make sure you choose the right hairstyle. Instead of opting for a short bob, long hair with layers prevents the hair from growing (and getting rid of split ends).
Avoid too many layers and very short hairstyles, especially at the top of the head. This model makes the hair stick out so that it looks fluffy
Method 2 of 4: Making and Using a Hair Mask
Step 1. Rinse your hair with an apple cider vinegar solution
This step is useful for dealing with frizzy hair and making hair shiny. Prepare 120 milliliters of water in a cup, add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the water, then mix well. Finish rinsing hair after shampooing with shampoo, pour this solution evenly on the hair. Leave it for 10 minutes and then rinse your hair with cool water. Use conditioner as usual.
In addition to preventing hair from sticking out or growing, the apple cider vinegar solution is useful for cleaning and nourishing the scalp
Step 2. Make a hair mask from avocado and olive oil
Cut an avocado in half, pry out the flesh and put it in a bowl. Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive or coconut oil and mash the avocado with a fork until it becomes a thick paste. Apply the mask on wet hair freshly washed with shampoo. Once your hair is collected at the top of your head and curled, wrap your hair in a shower cap to prevent the mask from drying out. Let the mask soak into your hair for 30 minutes, remove the shower cap, then rinse your hair with cool water.
Step 3. Make a mask from pumpkin and honey
Put 1 tablespoon of honey in a small bowl containing 225 grams of pumpkin puree and mix well. Apply the mask on wet hair freshly washed with shampoo. Pull your hair over your head in a bun, then wrap it in a shower cap to maintain hair temperature and humidity. After 15 minutes, remove the shower cap and rinse your hair with cool water.
Pumpkin contains many vitamins that are useful for nourishing and nourishing hair. Honey is a natural moisturizer that is useful for moisturizing hair
Step 4. Make a hair mask out of bananas
Place 1 peeled banana, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey in a blender and blend until it forms a paste. Apply the mask on wet hair. Curl your hair and wrap it with a shower cap. After 20-30 minutes, remove the shower cap and rinse your hair with cool water. Wash your hair with shampoo and then apply conditioner as usual.
Method 3 of 4: Taking good care of your hair
Step 1. Take the time to shampoo 2 times a week with lukewarm water
If you wash your hair too often, your hair's natural oils will be lost and your hair will become dry and bouncy. Do not use hot water when rinsing hair so that the hair is not damaged and does not swell.
- If your hair roots are very oily, use a dry shampoo or sprinkle powder on your scalp. Wait for 5 minutes and then comb your hair with your fingers to remove the white powder from the hair.
- Using dry shampoo is an instant way to keep your hair clean if it's not time to wash your hair, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't wash your hair. Don't delay shampooing if the dry shampoo starts to clump or doesn't absorb the oil.
Step 2. Use the right shampoo and conditioner
Buy hair care products that are suitable for curly hair or dry hair. Look for products whose packaging says: softening, moisturizing, hydrating hair, or for dry and damaged hair. When using conditioner, let the conditioner soak into the hair for 2-3 minutes so that the hair has time to absorb the nutrients in the conditioner.
Use a protein conditioner to restore dry, damaged hair and prevent your hair from absorbing moisture, leaving your hair bouncy
Step 3. Comb your hair using a wide-toothed comb
Take a lock of hair and comb it starting from the ends of the hair towards the roots of the hair. Do not comb your hair from root to tip in one pull. This method makes the hair shaft stretch and break. The best time to brush your hair is when your hair is half dry and still covered in conditioner. Conditioner serves to smoothen the comb so that the hair is easier to comb.
- If you need to untangle dry hair, don't use a brush. Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Hair will be bouncy or bouncy if brushed in dry conditions.
- If you need to brush your hair, use a soft, natural brush so it doesn't get stuck in your hair. In addition, a hair brush made of natural ingredients makes hair shiny and smoother.
Step 4. Wash your hair with cool water
When washing your hair, use cool water as a final rinse. Cool water is useful for closing the hair cuticles and making hair shiny.
Step 5. Apply cream or mousse to style hair when hair is half dry
This product is useful for improving hair texture, but the hair looks natural. Use the product once you're done shampooing by applying it starting from the ends of your hair towards the roots of your hair. Hair styling creams and mousses help maintain the hair's natural waves. Curly hair will swell if not styled properly.
Step 6. Use a microfiber towel or an unused T-shirt to dry your hair after shampooing
Wrap your hair in a towel or cotton T-shirt to absorb the water in your hair. You can wrap your hair in a towel as if you were wearing a loose turban.
Do not rub wet hair with a towel. Threads stuck in the hair can break or break the hair
Step 7. Let the hair dry by itself
This step is the most natural and safest way to dry your hair. In addition, the natural curl of the hair does not change if the hair is allowed to dry on its own. Your hair will pop and swell if your natural curls are messy. If you need to heat-dry your hair, protect your hair by spraying it with a protective product and using a hairdryer on a low or medium setting.
Step 8. Use a silk pillowcase while sleeping
Pillowcases with coarse threads can snag or tangle your hair so that it swells when you wake up in the morning. The moisture in your hair is reduced if you use a cotton pillowcase so that your hair becomes dry and bouncy.
If you don't have a silk pillowcase, wrap your hair in a silk scarf
Step 9. Use a hair mask to moisturize your hair 1-2 times a month
Use a mask once a week if your hair is very dry and frizzy. Apply hair mask when hair is half dry. Lift your hair above your head, curl it, then put on a shower cap. Allow the mask to absorb into your hair as directed on the package (usually about 20 minutes). Remove shower cap and rinse hair with cool water.
Method 4 of 4: Knowing What to Avoid
Step 1. Do not use a blow dryer and towel to dry wet hair
Instead, gently squeeze your hair to let the water run down and then wrap your hair in a soft towel. Do not rub the hair with a towel because the hair can break or fall out because it gets caught in the threads. Also, don't dry your hair using a hot hair dryer, as the temperature is too hot for curls.
- If you need to use a hot hairdryer, don't forget to spray on some protective hair products. Wait until your hair is almost dry before using a hairdryer. Adjust the temperature so it's not too hot.
- Let the hair dry by itself. This step is the most natural and safest way to dry your hair. In addition, the natural curl of the hair does not change if the hair is allowed to dry on its own. Hair will pop and grow if the natural curls are messy.
Step 2. Lower the temperature of the styling tool
Straighteners and curling irons can damage your hair, regardless of its type. Use a heater if you need to style your hair for a special event. Before using the heater, spray the hair protector and lower the temperature so it doesn't get too hot. Although more time-consuming, this method is safer for the hair.
Step 3. Avoid products containing sulfates, parabens, and silicones
Parabens can trigger cancer so they should not be used for styling hair. Silicone makes hair look soft and shiny, but sulfates dissolve silicone. Sulfate is a dangerous cleaning agent and is usually found in household laundry soap. Sulfates strip the hair of its natural oils, making the hair shaft dry and brittle.
- Don't let the silicone stick to your hair because it makes your hair look limp and dull.
- Avoid alcoholic products, especially those with high levels. Alcohol makes hair very dry, making it break and swell easily.
Step 4. Don't brush your hair dry
If your hair is tangled, use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to untangle it. Hair grows thicker when brushed when dry.
Step 5. Don't touch or brush your hair with your hands, especially if it's dry
Touching or smoothing your hair is a lot of fun, especially if your hair is curly or wavy. Unfortunately, the more often you touch it, the hair shaft and hair cuticles become more and more messy so that the hair sticks out and grows.
