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.

Anti Frizz 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 How to Protect your hair.

Now here is the deal - This treatment takes 3 to 4 hours and last up to 3 months. Time is money in the service business so you are looking at investing a few bucks in the treatment. The one-person kit starts around $50.00 plus the time it take your hair stylist to do the work in your area. (Best guess starting price, for your area should be around 8 hair cuts plus the cost of the product.) Here is what to expect to happen in your salon. So your stylist doesn't have to spend $1000.00 to stock up on large bottles of products to get started - and should be willing to pickup a kit especially to treat your hair and stop your frizz and unwanted volume. If you have the flexibility you might consider asking your hair stylist to work you in on a "normally slow day & time" - in exchange for a discount (say 6 hair cuts + the $50.00 product cost. During this economic depression - this might be opportunity for both you and your stylist. It could be a win-win solution for both of you.)

First you hair is shampooed 2 or 3 times then rinsed and dried to 80% or 90% of fully dry -
then you get the product applied - its like applying a new color on someone who has never had color before but - your stylist must wear gloves and keep the product 1/2" from your scalp - these are the 1st & 2nd reason it is professional only)
then you wait 15 minutes with the product on your hair
now your hair is dried completely dry from root to ends
next your hair is divided into small sections and flat ironed (the temperature and the number of passes will depend on the condition of your hair, it's diameter and the amount of natural curl in your hair. Picking the flat iron temperature setting and knowing the number of passes it will take is the 3rd reason this is a professional only product)
at this point the hair has a "chalk like" feel. Not to worry the chalky feel will shampoos out
then again you must wait for 15 minutes for the product to cool off & set-up
now you hair is shampooed and conditioned - the chalky feel is gone and
finally you get to have your hair cut, dried and styled into your new straighter - frizz free look.
Yes it is great for color treated hair (with the right iron temperature settings) and
as always ThermaFuse protects your hair from the heat of your styling tools.

Keratin Smoothing by Coppola - The secret in all of the Coppola Keratin Hair Treatments is marrying the Keratin from the treatment with the Keratin in you hair. Coppola Keratin says - I Do.- that's why you hair loves it so much."

With Coppola - Keratin Hair Smoothing all 3 options bond keratin to your hair. Hair is naturally about 90% keratin --- so you are applying keratin additional keratin to the outside of your hair shaft and then using the flat iron to marry the keratin you applied to the keratin that already makes up your natural hair.

the Keratin Express Blow Out Treatment last 3 to 6 weeks & take about 1-hour in the salon
the full Keratin Hair Straightening or Keratin Treatment last 4 to 6 months & take about 4-hour in the salon. Cost ? We would again estimate about the cost of 6 hair cuts + the $50.00 product cost.
the Keratin Hair Treatment At Home this is simple if you want "to try a taste" of the easier maintenance and home hair care you can start out with Keratin Infusion and INTENSE Rx and see how you like them. You will want both products to maintain wither the Keratin Blow Out Treatment or the Full Keratin Treatment - so you have little to loose by getting the keratin shampoo, Keratin conditioner with the Keratin Infusion and Intensive Rx - that extend the time you can go between in-salon visits.
