If you have curly hair you’ll know what a challenge it can be to keep the frizz factor under control.

To effectively tackle frizzy hair, you need to focus on adding moisture, minimising heat and friction and using the right products for you. This means gentle sulphate-free cleaning, deep conditioning and the best styling techniques that help to smooth the hair cuticles.

Gentle cleansing: That means investing in sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that add moisuture. Avoid over-washing as this can strip the hair of its natural oils and make the frizz factor even worse.

Invest in deep conditioner: Doing a weekly hair mask or using deep conditioner once a week will repair frizzy hair and add intense hydration.

Use leave-in treatments: Serums, leave-in conditioners and hair oils can lock in moisture and protect against the humidity that can lead to frizzy hair.

Chill out on heat styling: Use styling tools on the lowest settings and use a heat protectant spray to keep hair from getting frazzled.

Cold water rinse: End your shower with a cold water rinse as this seals the hair cuticle making it look shinier, and reducing the frizz factor.

Gentle drying: Carefully blot hair dry with a microfibre towel or cotton T-shirt instead of rubbing vigorously with a towel. And always wait for hair to dry a bit before brushing it as this can cause frizz and breakage.
