Things to Wash Your Hair With to Make It Voluminous & Not Frizzy

Humidity and hot weather can be especially problematic and turn hair frizzy.

People may desire hair that looks sleek and smooth without hair gel, spray or other hair finishing products. Hair can be finicky, so you may need to experiment with a number of methods to find the one that works best for your hair. Eliminating frizz may leave your hair look stringy, lifeless and limp if you use the wrong product or method for your hair. It's possible to add the desired body and volume to your hair without turning it into a tangled ball of free-flying frizz.

Deep Conditioner

Wash your hair weekly with a deep conditioning rinse. Deep conditioners work to minimize the effects of dryness and damage done to the outer layer of each hair strand, known as the cuticle — this is the layer of hair responsible for creating that frizzy, unkempt look. Shampoo your hair as you normally do, then add the conditioning treatment to your hair, section by section, to give your hair a thick, voluminous sheen.

Leave-In Conditioner

If you blow-dry or flat-iron your hair, a leave-in conditioner may be essential for preventing frizzy hair. Dry hair is particularly prone to frizz; keeping your hair adequately moisturized and hydrated keeps it thick and healthy without flyaway hairs. Apply a leave-in conditioner after showering; leave it in your hair until your next wash. This type of product must be added while your hair is still wet, or your hair will look and feel greasy.

Hot Oil Treatments

Hot oil treatments remoisturize and thicken your hair. Olive and coconut oils not only work well for reducing frizz and increasing the volume of your hair — they also leave your hair smelling fragrant and aromatic. Prepare a hot oil hair treatment at home by heating up your oil of choice and applying it to your hair. You may also add a cup of honey to your oil mixture for added shine and moisture. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the treatment sit in your hair overnight.

Banana Hair Treatment

Natural, organic treatments can increase the volume of your hair without making it frizzy. Mash up two ripe bananas; add 2 tablespoons of honey and 1/2 cup of milk. Mix the solution together and apply it liberally to your hair. Let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing it out with cold water.
