Step 1
Shampoo Less Often
Hair that is shampooed too often can become very dry. Instead of washing with shampoo every day, cut it down to only 3 times a week. When in the shower gently massage your fingers along your scalp to loosen any dirt and just let plain water wash it
out. Add conditioner on the ends (not too much on the scalp - you do not want it to look greasy) before rinsing. -
Step 2
Try Rinsing With Cold Water
Cold water "locks down" the hair cuticle and makes hair appear sleeker, so after finishing washing or conditioning your hair, try rinsing it with the coldest water you can stand before getting out of the shower. -
Step 3
Use Pomade Instead of Mousse
Mousse can actually contribute to frizzy hair. Try a Pomade instead. Rinse your hands under water, shake off the excess water but leave your hands wet. Dip your finger in the pomade and rub between your hands than lightly run through damp hair. Do not use on scalp, just the bottom half of hair to help keep frizz under control. You can find pomade in just about any major drug store. Walmart even has their own brand that you can try. -
Step 4
Let Your Towel Soak Up The Moisture - Do Not Rub
Do not dry your hair by rubbing it with a towel. This also contributes to frizz. Instead leave the towel on your head for at least 15 minutes to absorb the moisture on its own. -
Step 5
Do Not Brush Wet Hair - Use a Pick Instead
Brushing wet hair can not only contribute to frizz, it can actually cause breakage to your hair. After letting the towel soak up most of the moisture, use a pick to separate it. Let hair air dry for at least 10 minutes before attempting to use the blow drier. -
Step 6
Blow It Downwards
To get a sleeker look instead of frizz, always be sure to blow your hair in a downward motion. Clip up sections of the hair you are not working on and blow only one section at a time. Be sure to point the blow drier down as you work each section. You can get an attachment for the end of your drier called a concentrator nozzle attachment. That will concentrate the flow of air for an even silkier and sleeker look. -
Step 7
Try a New Daily Conditioner
Sometimes a new conditioner may be all you need to help tame those frizzies. Suave has a conditioner that people are raving about called Suave Tropical Coconut Conditioner. It only costs about $1.00 a bottle, but many are swearing it does a better job than even the most expensive of conditioners -
Step 8
Deep Condition Your Hair Once A Week
Using a weekly deep conditioning treatment on your hair can help tame your frizzy hair as well. Pantene is known to have a good one, but there are less expensive brands that can work just as well. Simply apply the deep conditioner and leave on in the shower for 2 to 5 minutes before washing out of hair. -
Step 9
Try a Homemade Hair Mask
There are a couple of homemade hair masks that can also bring out the shine in your hair and less frizz.
The first one is combining one egg with one part mayonnaise and one part olive oil. Make a paste out of it, apply it to your hair and wrap hair in a towel. Leave in for 30 minutes then rinse out. This will bring out the gloss in your hair. -
Step 10
Try a Homemade Rinse.
Another home remedy is to fill a big plastic cup with ½ cup of apple vinegar and ½ cup of water. Use this as a final rinse on your hair after your normal shampoo and conditioner. Vinegar can help correct the pH of your hair and smooth the cuticles. Be careful however to not get this rinse into your eyes because vinegar can really burn, -
Step 11
Last Minute Touch Up
If your hair has already frizzed, here is a quick fix. Simply combine some conditioner and water in a spray bottle and spray on hair before restyling. Just don't go too heavy handed because you do not want hair to look greasy.
