To ask if anyone has managed to stop frizzy hair?

[Avelosa]

I’m getting serious hair envy recently, so many people seem to have lovely soft looking shiny hair that looks so effortless. Mine is a nice cut with plenty of layers for shape, but it’s so frizzy it just looks horrible all the time no matter what I do with it. I try to avoid using much heat on it as that makes it so much worse

Anyone had the same and found any miracle remedies, or any treatments/products you would recommend?

Perhaps try the style and beauty section.

I haven’t used a hairdryer since lockdown. Nor straightening de/frizz serums... and it’s gone relatively frizzless. Strange, huh?

Mine's turned into frizz central too. I've not used any heat on it since the start of lockdown and I've had time to do some deep conditioning treatments. It looks worse than it's ever done. I think blow-drying smooths it down best, so I'll go back to that I think.

I got a silk cap to help the overnight frizz, that definitely helps.

@SerenityNowwwww the only time mine is non frizzy is if I dry it straight but trying to avoid that. Strange how it works isn’t it!

@AngryAF I have heard changing to silk pillowcases and silk caps etc can help, so may have to try that!

I have a Brazilian Blowdry every 3 months..it helps a lot for frizz.

There are different types - some more organic than others..

What shampoo and conditioner do you use and do you deep condition regularly?
Also, learn how to blow dry it straight if you want it straight. Best thing I ever did. You need a good quality ceramic round brush, 80% dry your hair, section off and then dry each bit with the brush. Very easy once you get used to it. After you've finished drying, use the cold blast function with the brush to cool your hair and it will stay put.

I grew up with pin straight hair (so easy!), but it's gotten more and more texture as I've gotten older and now have wavy hair that often has ringlets in the bottom layer, and I didn't figure out until recently the best way to care for it. I don't use any fancy serums or hair oils, but I've learned to never brush my hair when dry!! Brush it with some leave in conditioner when you first get out of the shower, and then don't touch it. Sounds so simple, but it really took so much frizz out of the picture and made my hair look so much nicer when air drying. Also, some sulfate-free shampoo is a good investment.

Yuko hair straighting if you don't colour your hair. It's permanent so get it done every 8 months for regrowth. It's like a perm but hair is set straight and it's shiny like a blow-dry. Don't have to straighten it anymore.

That's my hair before and after. I posted this on a similar thread and had the usual I shouldn't of got rid of my waves. But no amount of serums or silk pillow cases helped much. An now I just wash it and go and if I want some relaxed waves I can put them in without having to straighten it first for hour. Sorry rant over just literally best treatment I've ever had and understand how annoying frizz is.

Frizz is a curl waiting to come out! Look into the curly girl method. Even a modified version based on your needs/wants will do wonders for your hair. :)

Working with nature is usually safest and less damaging to the hair.... but you might try the L’Oreal Rowena steampod. It is a steam hair straightener similar price to GHDs but much better for frizzy hair/ humid conditions. I first came across it at a superb hairdresser in Cyprus which I visited in despair at my menopausal frizz in the extreme humid heat. What a revelation! Left hair silky smooth for days. I bought my own one - the mobile non hairdresser version - ( from look fantastic or beauty bay can’t remember which) immediately upon my return to the UK. The Cypriot hairdresser told me that traditional hair straighteners are useless for thick curly hair in humid conditions as they just dry hair out whereas the steam puts moisture in. Can’t recommend it more highly. It is still going strong after a couple of years.
