Despite blaming the weather, frizzy hair is actually caused by a lack of moisture in the hair. This is because hair that is overly dry, dehydrated, or damaged will seek out any moisture in the air to hydrate it. For this reason, anytime we are in a humid climate, dry hair attracts moisture and can look frizzy. So, what’s the fix? While stylers that block humidity can help, an ideal hair care routine for frizzy hair begins with hydration.

Care Tips for a Frizz-Free Finish

If you’re looking for a frizz-free finish, creating a healthy hair routine is the best place to start. Here are a few of the top tips to add to your hair care routine for frizzy hair. 

  • Use shampoo and conditioners that improve the condition and moisture levels of your hair
  • Avoid heat styling and air-dry when possible
  • Detangle hair to improve manageability and cut down on breakage
  • Cut down on friction with the use of silk pillowcases and silk hair ties
  • Choose care products that are formulated to protect against frizz 
  • Look for products with oils and butters that nourish the hair while also adding weight to the hair for added control

The Ideal Hair Care Routine for Frizzy Hair

Step 1. Fight frizz in the shower with your shampoo & conditioner

Use a combination of shampoos and conditioners that improve your moisture balance while also smoothing your hair when extra help is needed. First, work HYDRATE-ME.WASH, RINSE + MASQUE into your normal routine to improve hydration levels. Then, on days when you know frizz is going to be a problem, use SMOOTH.AGAIN.WASH + RINSE.

HYDRATE-ME will improve the condition of your hair over time with powerful moisturisers designed to quench seriously parched hair. What’s more, this range also has smoothing properties thanks to nourishing oils and vitamins to deliver a silky-smooth finish. This daily shampoo, conditioner and masque can be used on normal to dry hair types to restore hydration and boost shine.

SMOOTH.AGAIN is the ideal smoothing range whenever a smooth and sleek style is wanted. Formulated with oils and butters to fight frizz and tame your tresses, this system is ideal for thick and coarse hair types or anyone with unruly hair.

Step 2: Prep your style with protection

The key to fighting frizz lies in the health of your hair but is also determined by how you prep your hair. So, whenever you style, be sure to protect your hair at every turn. 

While it is best to avoid heat, when heat styling, always build in protection with HEATED.DEFENSE. This lightweight foam is a leave-in treatment that will guard against temperatures of up to 232˚C / 450˚F to cut down on damage associated with blow drying, curling irons or flat irons. 

Whether wearing your natural texture or blow-drying for a silky finish, layering SMOOTH.AGAIN before styling seals your style in while locking frizz out. As an anti-frizz treatment and styling aid, this dual-purpose product nourishes your hair and leaves it feeling smooth and silky to the touch.

Step 3: Improve manageability while reducing friction

In addition to moisture, friction can also cause frizz. To create a frizz-free hair care routine, focus on habits that cut down on friction. A paddle brush or wide-toothed comb are great at removing tangles while products aimed at detangling like UN.TANGLED restores strength while protecting against styling and breakage.

In addition to brushing, anything that comes into contact with your hair can cause friction and therefore frizz. Everything from the towel you use to dry your hair to the fabrics you sleep on are culprits. For this reason, using a microfiber towel to blot away moisture or sleeping on a silk pillowcase are ideal.

Step 4: Add moisture at every turn

While adding moisture in the shower is key, continuing to add moisture between wash days is essential. Touch up your style by working an oil into your ends before bed, or define texture and combat dryness with a dry conditioner. YOUNG.AGAIN leave-in treatment oil and YOUNG.AGAIN DRY CONDITIONER are designed to moisturise and hydrate the hair between washes to transform dry hair types.
