Frizzy Hair is a common problem among women of every hair type in every
part of the world. And though there are many products out there that
combat frizzy hair, women are still struggling to tame the frizzy locks.
Why do women still have untamed, frizzy hair when there are some many
products readily available to them? Perhaps because they are too
expensive? Perhaps because they don't know how to use them? Perhaps they
don't know what they need? Hopefully, below you can find the answer to
your frizzy hair dilemma.
Frizzy hair can plague all types and textures of hair, from curly hair
to straight hair and thin hair to thick hair. One of the biggest causes
of frizzy hair can be a lack of moisture. If your hair is dry and
frizzy, it is likely very dry and moisture deprived, lacking natural
oils. Frizzy hair can also result from a protein deficiency in your
diet.
They best way to tame your frizzy hair is to find the perfect moisture
balance for the texture and type of your hair. Your hair is composed of
10-12% moisture, approximately. Your hair's moisture and natural oils
are the key to obtaining healthy, smooth, silky hair. Frizzy hair is the
result of a drop in your hair's natural moisture level. Your hair may
loose moisture due to the shape of it's cuticle or due to how you treat
your hair, but the solution is the same: stopping the frizz by adding
moisture back to the hair cuticle.
There are two ways you can replenish the moisture of your hair:
internally and externally.
Internally: There are special special supplements you can take, certain
foods you can eat and vitamins and minerals you can take that add
protein, oils and moisture to your hair from the inside-out.
Externally: Most anti-frizz products contain silicone which helps to
instantly neutralize frizz. Though silicone products do smooth out frizzies,
these products are temporary solutions for your frizz problems. A better
solution is identifying your hair type and hair needs and creating and
following an entire hair care regime with the purpose of putting
moisture back into your dry hair. If you have curly & wavy hair also see the "
Oreo-Cookie Mousse Trick," for another frizzy quick fix answer.

Tips & Tricks
When Blow-Drying, use a diffuser on your dryer and angle
the dryer down. Dry your hair starting at the root and moving down - no
flipping your hair over drying it upside down. Using a diffuser
concentrates the direction of the air flow, eliminating the chance that
air might blow in different directions, which can help cause frizz. Be
sure to use a dryer that has multiple heat settings. Dry your hair with
low or medium heat only and finish with the coldest setting to seal the
look and close the cuticles.
When Shampooing, you should choose a moisture rich shampoo, a straightening
shampoo, shampoo for color treated hair, or a smoothing shampoo, just be sure
to match your shampoo with your conditioner for best results.
Condition, Condition, Condition: Conditioning your hair is the
key to fighting frizz. Frizz happens because your hair is dry and
lacking moisture. Dry hair breaks, creating more frizz. Use a moisture
rich conditioner that is right for all your hair needs: a moisture rich
color safe conditioner for colored/dyed hair, a smoothing moisture
conditioner for those wanting straight hair, etc. There are also
conditioning treatments and conditioning hair masques that can be used
as little as once a month or as much as once or twice a week that will deep condition your hair.
Just pay attention and your hair will tell you how often to deep
condition. These treatments can be done at your salon by a professional,
or there are at home conditioning treatments that are just as effective. Salon
treatments, like the
Lanza Ultimate Treatment Kit, usually
give enhanced result when you add the key
element of heat. (We know some manufacturers say you don't need the heat,
but we find even when the manufacturer says you don't need heat, results improve whenever we add heat to the treatments
we have used.) You can buy a
professional heat cap to use at home with
your conditioning treatment and save a great deal of money by doing the
treatments yourself. If you want straight hair without frizz, consider
Keratin Complex Hair Therapy
, an "in salon only" treatment that uses a flat iron to infuse
keratin back into your hair.
Add an Oil Treatment to your hair regime. Whether it's a hot oil
treatment or just adding oil to your damp hair after you shower, oil can
do wonders for your hair. The important thing to remember about these
hair oils is that they shouldn't make your hair feel oily. A
great hair oil will simply disappear into your hair, without weighing it
down or making it greasy or oily. There are many different types
of hair oil treatments that contain different types of oil, you might
have to try a few out to find the one that is perfect for your hair.
Moroccan Oil Treatments, also called
Argan Oil Treatments,
are becoming more and more popular in salons, on the TV home
shopping networks and at home. They smell great too!
Avoid Hot Showers. Though many people love hot showers, what they
don't know is that hot water can dry out your hair. Make sure to use
lukewarm water when washing your hair to avoid further damage. See
How to Shampoo.
Avoid Brushing Your Hair. Comb out your hair with your fingers, a
pick or
a wide toothed comb. Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way
up to the roots, gently working out tough snarls. If you have stubborn
tangled hair use a leave-in detangler. This will help make your hair
more manageable. Brushing your hair can cause a lot of damage and
breakage, which can add to frizz. Most leave-in detangler also help
condition your hair, which can help replenish moisture to your dry
frizzy hair. Also see

to Protect your hair.
