Got the frizzies? Nothing is more frustrating than a head of frizzy hair that is out of control. Frizzy hair often is dull and lacks shine. Adding moisture to your hair tames down the hair shaft and controls the frizzies. The right hair dryer is important, too!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Anti-frizz serum or spray
  • Safflower or olive oil
  • Ceramic blow-dryer
  1. Step 1

    Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner when washing your hair. Avoid daily shampooing. Skipping a day between shampoos allows your hair to rest and keeps the frizzies at bay.

  2. Step 2

    Towel-dry your hair and apply an anti-frizz serum to the ends of the hair. Work this up the length of the hair, but avoid weighing down the roots. Avoid large amounts of serum. A little goes a long way.

  3. Step 3

    Allow your hair to air-dry. Blow-dry only with a ceramic blow-dryer and a diffuser. A ceramic-based blow dryer uses negative ions, which help control frizz.

  4. Step 4

    Maintain regular hair cuts. Blunt-cut styles work best with frizzy hair. Razor cuts add more frizz since the hair ends tend to split with this cut.

  5. Step 5

    Deep-condition frizzy hair once a week using an oil treatment. Place a tablespoon of safflower or olive oil in your palms, apply it to the ends of your hair and work your way up. Cover your hair with a plastic cap or a towel and let it sit for an hour. Shampoo the oil out and condition hair with your regular conditioner.

  6. Step 6

    Avoid overhandling frizzy hair. Brush gently or finger-comb when dry.

Tips & Warnings
  • Lightly mist your hair with an anti-frizz serum spray to control frizz during the day.
