Frizzy Hair Care: Top Treatments & How to Get Rid of Frizz

Understanding the root causes of frizzy hair is the first step to smoother, sleeker hair. We'll reveal the common culprits and share expert frizzy hair care tips for banishing the frizz for good.

What Causes Frizzy Hair?

Frizzy hair is primarily caused by a lack of moisture. Parched hair absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, causing the hair cuticle (the outermost layer of the hair shaft, composed of overlapping, scale-like cells) to swell and lift. Heat styling, harsh ingredients, chemical treatments, as well as certain hair care routines (e.g., over-washing, towel drying) can also damage the hair cuticle, making it more prone to frizz.

Frizzy Hair Care FAQs

Can Dandruff Cause Frizzy Hair?
While dandruff doesn’t directly cause frizzy hair, harsh shampoos and treatments might. Always choose hair care products that protect the scalp and don’t dry out ends.
Can a Blow Dryer Make Your Hair Frizzy?
The impact of high heat and rough airflow on the hair cuticle can make your hair frizzy. Use a diffuser to distribute heat more evenly when drying your hair, and finish with a blast of cold air to seal the hair cuticles and lock in moisture.
Can Straight Hair Be Frizzy?
Although straight hair is typically perceived as being smooth and sleek, it can still be prone to frizz. Weather, over-washing and frequent heat styling are common frizzy hair triggers. If you have fine, straight hair, opt for lightweight serums and anti-frizz sprays.
Can You Curl Frizzy Hair?
The simple answer is yes, although curling frizzy hair does require a little extra TLC to minimize the risk of damage and added frizz. Always use frizz-protecting styling products, and turn down the temperature on your heated styling tools.
Does Frizzy Hair Mean Damaged Hair?
Frizzy hair arises from two main causes: dryness and structural damage. Dryness is caused by a lack of moisture that leads to open cuticles, while structural damage is caused by weakened cuticles, and a potentially exposed cortex. While curly and wavy hair is naturally more prone to frizz due to difficulty in oil distribution along the hair strands, any hair type can experience frizz due to dryness or damage. Look out for frizzy hair care products and treatments that have been specially formulated to target dry and damaged hair.
Can Low Porosity Hair Be Frizzy?
Low porosity hair is made up of tightly packed cuticles that can make it more difficult for moisture to penetrate the hair shaft, leading to frizz. Use lightweight leave-in products and heat-activated conditioners to keep the frizz at bay.
Can You Color Frizzy Hair?
Coloring frizzy hair is totally possible but it is important to choose the right product so as not to damage or dry out hair. If you’re coloring at home, opt for ammonia-free dyes infused with nourishing oils, such as those in Garnier’s Olia range.
