Anyone with frizzy hair knows that humidity is the enemy and there is simply no way to fight it. While there may not be a cure for frizzy hair, at least there are some tricks you can try to manage it. And luckily, these solutions do not require toxic chemicals that can have negative personal health and environmental side effects. With the use of a few all-natural household materials you can better control your frizzy hair to enjoy the smooth locks you crave.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Large egg Apple cider vinegar Water Honey Oil of your choice Hairbrush
  1. Step 1

    Use raw egg. Eggs aren't just for a breakfast; they can be used to maintain healthy frizz-free hair as well. Simply crack a raw egg and lather it into your hair. Let it sit for a full fifteen minutes before proceeding with your normal shampoo and conditioner regimen.

  2. Step 2

    Try using a vinegar solution. Combine 4 oz. of apple cider vinegar with 1 qt. of water and mix well. Rinse your dry hair with the diluted vinegar mixture before conditioning. Not only is this an all-natural alternative to conventional rinses, it works as a great clarifying shampoo and prepares your scalp to accept the moisture that helps your hair behave.

  3. Step 3

    Apply an oil rinse. All-natural oils like almond oil and coconut oil not only work well to nourish your hair into behaving; they smell great too. Shampoo and condition as normal after letting your hair absorb the natural oils. Olive oil and aloe oil are also great options, though they are not as fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Lather in honey. Honey is a great all-natural conditioner for your hair. A great bonus is its sweet smell. Simply mix equal parts organic honey with the oil of your choice. Lather into the hair and let sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing with cool water.

  5. Step 5

    Make sure you are using the right brush. A lot of times your hairbrush can be a big part of the reason you have frizzy hair. If you brush too hard, breakage can occur, which can dry out your hair and inhibit its natural texture. Check with your hairdresser to be sure you are using the right hairbrush for your hair type.
