How To Prevent Frizzy Hair
The problem of frizzy hair is something that majority of the females have to face, especially those with curly hair. It is basically the dehydrated cortex (the inner layer of the hair shaft) that causes the problem of frizzy hair. This dehydration can be result of a number of activities - frequent perming, excessive use of styling products, regular usage of bleach or color, taking a poor diet, brushing wet hair, excessive exposure to the sun, and so on. Whatever be the reason, frizzy hair looks very bad and can easily mar you appearance.
What about the frizz? How can you minimize frizzing in permed hair? The first step is to condition your hair well before perming. You cannot do this right before you have the perm but getting your hair in good condition to be permed is an excellent first step for frizz prevention. If your hair is nourished before you perm it you have a better chance of getting the soft, smooth curling results you want. The next step comes after the perm. Most hair stylists recommend not washing your hair for 48 hours after the perm because the shampoo can interfere with the chemical process; you need to give your hair time to adjust and absorb the chemicals that give you the permanent curl.
Oils and creams on the market designed to reduce frizz infuse the hair with a little bit of weight and close the cuticle, creating a smoother appearance. Gloss treatments in the salon, which are similar to applying color to the hair, but without the hue, also serve the same purpose, as they provide extra weight and shine. A shot of cold air can also help close the cuticle, says Claude, and reducing frizz can be as easy as working cool air and a brush through your hair.
Look for frizz-control shampoos and conditioners. The conditioner should be a 2-to-5 minute daily use treatment that you leave in for a few minutes and then rinse out. Just before rinsing, run a wide-toothed comb through hair, getting out the worst of the knots.
Shampoo less. Use small amounts of conditioner instead and rinse hair well. You should notice a difference in a few days. Do watch out for shampoos that gives you suds beautifully because it uses harsh ingredients that will strip your hair of moisture and the added dryness causes frizzies.
