How to Get Rid of Frizzy Hair with These Expert Strategies

Curl Care: How to Get Rid of Frizzy Hair

Frizzy hair can be a battle so how DO you get rid of frizzy hair? Especially during the humid days of summer, and you’re not alone in this struggle. In New England, where the weather can shift dramatically, understanding how to manage your curls or waves is essential for a confident, frizz-free look.

1. Hydration is Key

First and foremost, it’s essential to ensure your hair is properly hydrated. Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your routine, such as the J Beverly Hills Masque or the Platinum Nourishing Masque, to maintain moisture in your curls.

Additionally, utilizing a humidifier, whether it be a portable model or a whole-house system, can be highly beneficial during winter when your hair and skin tend to become dry. Remember, even your wooden floors and furniture require moisture, making a whole-house humidifier a valuable investment.

2. Anti-Frizz and Curl Enhancing Products

Choose high-quality anti-frizz serums or creams, such as the J Beverly Hills 5 in 1 or Crazy Curl, and consider blending them with Revive Oil to help control your curls. You can also apply the Masque previously mentioned under your styling products to give more moisture to thicker textures. Layering or mixing products is the perfect way to obtain great product combos and placement.

Apply these products to damp hair to lock in moisture and establish a protective barrier against humidity. Always select products that cater to your specific curl type; for instance, if you have tightly coiled hair and wish to reduce volume, avoid using curl cremes like Crazy Curl that encourage more definition (if you do then go for it!).

Instead opt for creams or serums that relax the curl pattern. Using Crazy Straight will provide you with ant-frizz protection and shine without enhancing the curl, allowing your hair to maintain its natural texture.

3. Optimal Styling Technique

For curly hair, consider adopting the "plopping" method using a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to allow your curls to air-dry naturally. It’s important to avoid roughing up or twisting your curls with a towel, as this can quickly lead to frizz and strip moisture from your hair. Ditch the traditional turban-style towel wrap and prepare for the simple plopping technique for effortlessly beautiful curls.

Begin by applying your preferred styling products and gently scrunching your curls with your hands. Next, lay your microfiber towel or t-shirt flat on a bed or chair. Bend forward, allowing your ends to rest on the fabric, and gradually lower the top of your head onto it so your hair lays in a loose, accordion-like manner. Keep your hair in this position and secure the fabric at the back of your neck.

There’s no need to adhere to a strict timing—simply finish your routine and release your curls whenever you choose. For those with wavy textures, using the plopping method or a straightforward twist and scrunch technique can enhance your natural waves while reducing frizz.

4. Heat Protection

Whenever you intend to use heat styling tools, it’s crucial to apply a heat protectant. The 5 in 1 J Beverly Hills product offers excellent protection against high temperatures, making it ideal for when you're straightening or curling your hair. Additionally, when styling, choose a lower temperature setting to minimize damage and reduce frizz.

5. Protective Hairstyles

Protective hairstyles are a great way to minimize damage and maintain the health of your hair, especially in challenging environmental conditions. Here are a few benefits and tips for each style:

- Braids:  

Braiding your hair can help prevent tangles and breakage. Consider different styles, such as box braids, French braids, or Dutch braids, depending on your preference. Braids can be worn as a single style or in various formations like pigtails or a crown braid for a more intricate look.  

- Buns:  

A bun is not only practical for keeping your hair off your face and neck during hot days, but it can also look elegant. You can opt for a sleek bun for a polished look or a messy bun for a more casual style. Additionally, buns can help reduce friction against clothing, which can lead to frizziness.

  -Twists:  

Twists are a versatile option that can be styled in different ways, such as two-strand twists or flat twists. Twists can help define your natural curl pattern while protecting your hair from environmental stressors. When you unravel the twists, they can often give you beautiful waves!

 -Styles for Protection:  

Regardless of which protective hairstyle you choose, it's essential to ensure that your styles are not too tight, as this can lead to tension and potential traction alopecia. Also, make sure to keep your scalp moisturized and your ends trimmed to maintain hair health.

By incorporating these protective hairstyles into your routine, you can enjoy both a fashionable look and safeguard your hair from damage caused by heat, humidity, and other environmental factors.

6. Regular Trims

Maintain the health of your hair by scheduling regular trims. Split ends can significantly contribute to frizz, making it essential to keep your hair in good condition. Regularly trimming your ends is a vital step toward achieving a sleek and polished appearance.
