Six Hacks That Will Help You Say Goodbye To Your Frizzy Hair

Curly hair tends to lack moisture, which lifts the hair cuticles and allows moisture to get into the strands. The result is swelling of hair strands, which means frizz! It is not a pleasant scene of course, but thankfully there are simple ways of taming your frizzy hair.

1. Wash it rightWashing your hair everyday might be a habit, but it is not of much help to your curly hair. Wash your tresses every two or three days instead. It will help retain the natural oil in your hair and prevent frizz. A lot of hair stylists also recommend co-washing to keep frizz at bay. Co-washing refers to washing your hair only with a conditioner. So you can wash your hair with a mild, natural shampoo and conditioner once a week and skip the shampoo for the other two washes during the week. However, make sure you apply the conditioner only to the ends of your hair and not to the roots, as it can weigh down your hair and make it appear greasy.
2. Understand the difference between towel drying and air dryingRubbing your wet hair vigorously with a towel will only lead to frizz. You can always use a clean, soft cotton t-shirt to wring out excess water from your hair, but after that just let your hair air dry. When your hair is about 90 percent dry, use a smoothing or moisture-locking serum to keep your hair frizz-free.
3. Avoid heat stylingFrying your hair (yes, that's what straightening does, right?) will damage your curls and make them dry, eventually leading to frizz. So avoid using heating tools on your hair.
4. Pretty to watchYour gorgeous tight locks deserve all the love no doubt, but constant touching and running your fingers through your hair will not do them any good. Touching your hair frequently can also lead to frizz.
5. Use the right toolsCurly hair can be demanding, so make sure you are equipped with the right tools. Have the right bristle brush and a wide-toothed comb. Always brush your hair before washing your hair and use a wide-toothed comb if you feel the need to comb your hair while its wet.
6. The princess treatmentPamper your hair and yourself by sleeping on a silky, satiny pillow cover. Don't have one? Put that silk scarf to use.

Bonus tip: If you still end up with frizz, you can tame it away by spraying some hair spray on a toothbrush or mascara wand and brushing the problem areas with it!
