Frizzy hair can feel like a constant battle—whether it’s a halo of flyaway’s or a full-on puff. Frizz can be caused by a variety of factors, including weather conditions, damage from styling tools, chemical treatments, or over-washing. The good news? You’re not alone, and there are simple, effective ways to manage it. Keep reading for tried-and-true tips to help you smooth things out and bring back control, shine, and confidence to your hair routine.
How to smooth frizzy hair
To fix frizzy hair, it's essential to first pinpoint the root cause. Weather conditions, heat damage from styling tools, chemical treatments, and over-washing are common culprits. Once you've identified the issue, you can select the right products and techniques to tackle it. For example, dryness can be managed with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, while damage may require a deep treatment or hair mask. Using a leave-in conditioner or hair oil can also be helpful in taming frizz. Opt for products specifically formulated for frizzy hair for the most effective results.
Use a smoothing shampoo & conditioner
To combat frizz, incorporate a smoothing shampoo and conditioner into your hair care routine. These products, like OGX® Frizz Free + Keratin Smoothing Oil Shampoo and Conditioner, are specially formulated to tame frizz, smooth hair, and enhance shine. Their nourishing ingredients help control flyaway’s and keep your hair looking sleek and polished. Remember, choosing the right products can make a significant difference in managing frizzy hair.
Embrace a hairstyle for frizzy hair
Embrace a hairstyle that complements your natural texture. Consider styles like beach waves, loose curls, or a tousled bob that work with your hair's natural tendencies rather than fighting against them. These styles can help improve your hair's unique beauty, lean into your waves and curls, and minimize the appearance of frizz. Lastly, get 24-hour hold and protection for your style with OGX® Antioxidants + Flexible Hold Spray. A continuous fine mist hairspray to help protect your style and provide you with a touchable finish that lasts for up to 24 hours.
Trim your ends
To keep frizz at bay, regular trims are your best friend. Those pesky split ends can worsen frizz and give your hair a rough appearance. By visiting your stylist every 6-8 weeks, you can say goodbye to split ends and hello to healthy, frizz-free hair. Regular trims also promote hair growth and prevent breakage, which is a win for your hair's overall health¹.
Try hair oiling
To further fight frizz, try hair oiling. Hair oiling involves applying oil to your hair and scalp to nourish and moisturize it. This can help reduce frizz and make your hair softer and more manageable. You can use various oils for hair oiling, infused with coconut oil, or argan oil. Simply apply the oil to your hair, leave it in for several hours or overnight, and then wash your hair as usual. Regular hair oiling can help improve the overall health and appearance of your hair, reducing frizz and promoting smoothness.
