How Do I Tame Frizzy Hair? Your Ultimate Guide to a Silky Smooth 'Crown'

Frizzy hair—it’s the one thing most of us want to avoid, but it seems like no matter what you do, it sometimes keeps showing up! Whether it’s humidity, dry weather, or just that pesky natural texture, frizz can be an ongoing battle. But don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with a straightforward, easy-to-follow guide to smooth and tame your frizzy hair.

With a few adjustments to your hair care regime and by using the right products (like our Velvet Crown, for example), you’ll be well on your way to manageable, frizz-free hair in no time. So, come join us as we explore your options for sorting the frizz out.

Understanding Frizz: What’s Going On?

Before we tackle how to treat frizz, it’s essential to understand why it happens in the first place. Frizz occurs when hair strands become dry and porous, causing them to swell and push away from each other; this is especially common for curly and frizzy hair types. Things like humidity, heat damage, and over-washing can add to the problem and make things worse. Or, if you find your hair is frizzy after washing, it’s often due to the cuticle (the outer layer of your hair) lifting, allowing moisture from the air to enter, which leads to those unruly flyaways.

Hydration is Key: Start with Moisturising Shampoo & Conditioner

The first step to taming frizz is ensuring your hair gets the moisture it needs. A good nourishing shampoo and conditioner will work wonders for keeping frizz at bay. Look for sulphate-free and paraben-free shampoos and conditioners- products formulated without these will cleanse gently without stripping away natural oils, leaving you with healthier hair that will be less prone to frizz. You’ll also be setting yourself up for smooth, healthy locks by nourishing your hair right from the start.

Pro Tip: If you have curly and frizzy hair, try using nourishing shampoo, conditioner or treatments - these will help retain moisture without drying out the strands.

How to Prevent Frizz After Washing

If your hair is frizzy after washing, you might make a few key mistakes during drying. Here’s our advice on how to keep frizz at bay from the get-go:

  • Avoid Rough Towel Drying: Don’t rub your hair excessively with a towel, as this creates friction and leads to frizz. Instead, gently pat or squeeze excess water from your hair.
  • Use a Microfibre Towel: These materials absorb moisture without roughing up the cuticle, helping reduce frizz.
  • Don’t Over-Brush: While brushing through your hair right after a shower may be tempting, try not to. Brushing now can disrupt your natural curl pattern (if you have curly hair) and cause more frizz. For this reason, it’s better to use a wide-toothed comb or even your fingers to detangle your hair.

Leave-In Conditioners & Hair Serums for Frizzy Hair

One of the best ways to tame frizz on hair is by using a leave-in conditioner or a hair serum for frizzy hair. These products help lock in moisture, smooth the hair cuticle and protect against humidity.

  • Leave-In Hydrating Conditioner: Apply it while your hair is damp to keep it soft, hydrated, and frizz-free.
  • Nourishing Hair Treatment: A good serum will work wonders by smoothing down the cuticle, providing a shiny finish, and preventing humidity from causing unwanted frizz. Apply a few drops to the ends of your hair, where frizz tends to be more noticeable.

Pro Tip: When applying hair serum, less is more! Follow the guidelines for applying on the product because too much product can weigh your hair down and make it greasy.

Hair Masks & Deep Conditioning Treatments

Try incorporating a weekly deep conditioning treatment or hair mask into your routine to treat your frizz more intensively. These products provide extra nourishment and help repair damage that might be causing frizz.

Avoid Heat Damage: Protect Your Hair

Hot styling tools can cause heat damage to your hair. But if you use a quality heat protection spray before styling your hair, the spray will shield it, making it less prone to frizzing up!

Pro Tip: When blow-drying with a nozzle attachment, aim the airflow downwards to help seal the cuticle and minimize frizz.
