Frizzy Hair Fix

It seems like everyone gets frizzier hair as they get older.  The hair gets coarser as we age-as it turns gray- at it becomes more out of control and frustrating.

When I was a teenager, I used to wash and condition my hair and simply brush it. It would air-dry and be perfectly smooth, shiny and non-frizzy.  Those days are long gone, that’s for sure.

Now, I am faced with a frizzy mess that I must perform surgery on every time I shampoo- just to get it to look half-way decent.  God forbid that my flat iron should break or the electricity go out–would definitely be a ponytail hair day.

Here are some great tips (that actually work!!!!) that I have tried to control that frizz

1. Don’t shampoo your hair every day.  This really contributes to dryness and frizz.  If you are used to shampooing every day (as I was) this may take some getting used to.

2. When you do shampoo – try this out – first get your hair completely wet – then apply some conditioner.  Yes, you read that right – apply conditioner before you shampoo.  Next shampoo your hair and apply conditioner again.  This works wonders for getting extra smooth, non-frizzy hair.

3.  When you blow dry your hair, use a nozzle attachment and blow dry from the top down.  Do not blow dry the hair from the bottom up — major cause of frizziness.

4. Use a deep conditioner at least once a month.  This is a conditioner that you would leave on for at least 30 minutes before rinsing out.  Another great way to combat frizz.

5. Apply silicone products to hair before blow drying/flat ironing.  Silicone  or serum helps to smooth the cuticle so that frizz is minimized.

5. Get frequent haircuts.  Keeping all those layers neat and trim can go a long way to preventing frizz in the future.

In short, if you have frizzy hair, try out some of these great tips – they actually work to control frizzy hair.
