5 Ways to Tame Frizzy Hair
Unmanageable, frizzy hair can ruin the perfect chic outfit on any day. Fortunately, there are styling techniques and hair products that will tame even the most unruly frizz. Whether you suffer from chronic frizz or environmentally induced off-days, a few basic tips and tricks will have you looking your best in no time.
Spot Treat
Random frizzy days are usually the result of environmental conditions, such as humidity. They do not require the implementation of a new hair care routine that perpetual sufferers of frizz have to undertake. Casual frizz fighters can easily combat humidity-based frizzies with L'Oreal EverSleek Humidity Defying Leave-In Crème. Always opt for a treatment that allows you to combat frizz while receiving additional moisturizing benefits. The extra nourishment will lead to smooth, silky locks for days!
Take a Break
When you have a full weekend off or you're on vacation, take advantage of the downtime by giving your stressed locks some "downtime" of their own. Shampoo and condition with a repairing system such as the L'Oreal EverSleek Reparative System. After you emerge from the shower or tub, brush your hair gently to detangle it and then allow it to air dry. When you give your hair a break every so often from heat styling with hair dryers and flat irons and brushing or combing multiple times a day, your hair will noticeably improve and you'll have less frizz.
Ionic Heat Styling
Ionic hair dryers and flat irons help minimize the damage typically associated with heat styling. Ionic tools neutralize your hair's charge instead of leaving your mane with the positive charge that towel drying or a traditional hair dryer creates. As you blow dry or straighten your hair, it will retain more of its moisture which will help naturally fight frizz and maintain a healthy, smooth sheen.
Ion Infused Brushes
The wrong kind of hairbrush may create additional frizz while you attempt to combat flyaways. If your hair suddenly develops frizz while you're styling it in the morning, your hairbrush may be the culprit instead of your hair dryer. Ion infused thermal brushes feature ceramic cores that retain heat and reduce styling time; they also help tame frizz as the bristles will smooth flyaway hair. Talk about a double punch!
Go Natural
When possible, look for anti-frizz products that feature natural ingredients, either in full or part. A variety of serums, shampoos, crèmes, and hair masks that feature oils from nuts, bamboo plants, and other organic materials are available. The L'Oreal EverSleek product line features argan, sunflower, and olive oil as major frizz fighting agents!
With advances in all facets of the hair care industry - from hair dryers to hair crèmes - there is no need to let chronic or casual frizz rule your day! Implement the tips and tricks above and you will be on your way to having lustrous and frizz-free locks.
