Natural Elements

One of the most common reasons your hair can get frizzy is the weather. Damp or humid weather can reek havoc on your hairstyle because your hair absorbs the moisture and the hair molecules expand, resulting in the frizzy look. Wind and dry air can also add to your untamable hair, as the wind can loosen the hair products you used and add dirt into the mix. If the weather is too dry, your hair can fizz for lack of any moisture.
Mistreated Hair
-
Damaged hair can always have that frizzy look. If you perm or color your hair too much, it can ruin the hair shaft and cuticle, making the hair frizz when it is dry. There are hot oil treatments and conditioning packs that can help to restore normal moisture to your hair to make it more manageable.

Heredity
-
You may just have been born with hair that is naturally frizzy. People with curly hair are more prone to having frizzy hair. Use hair serums and a diffuser for your hair dryer to help tame the frizzy look.
Bad Hair Day
-
Sometimes you just have a bad hair day, and there really may be nothing wrong with your hair at all. For cases like this, you may want to have a backup hair style such as an up-do for women or combed back plain for men.
Prevention/Solution
-
There are plenty of products on the market, such as serums and gels, that help to tame frizz, and complete lines of products for people with troublesome hair. Look into anti-frizz serums or shine sprays to give your hair an extra-glossy shine that can help keep frizz at bay. If you do not like the shine sprays, check out gels and cremes that can offer round-the-clock protection. Try not to brush your hair a great deal, as this strips it of natural oils, making it more prone to being frizzy.
