Why does hair get frizzy and dry?

Frizzy, dry hair occurs when the hair loses its natural moisture. This can be due to several factors:

• Weather and climate: Cold or dry weather can dry out your hair. During the winter, the air is often drier, which can cause your hair to lose moisture more quickly than usual. In the summer, the sun can also dry out your hair and make it brittle and frizzy.
• Hair products: Using products that contain sulfates and alcohol can contribute to dryness and frizz. Sulfates are common in many shampoos because they help create lather, but they can also strip the hair of its natural oils. Alcohol is found in many styling products and can have a drying effect on the hair.
• Heat styling tools: Frequent use of hair dryers, flat irons, and curling irons can damage your hair. The heat from these tools can strip moisture from your hair, making it more prone to dryness and frizz.
• Lack of moisture: If you don’t provide your hair with enough moisture, it will become dry and frizzy. This may be because you aren’t using moisturizing products or because you aren’t drinking enough water, which affects the moisture balance of your body and hair.

How to apply products for best results

To get the best possible results from your hair care products, it’s important to apply them correctly. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Lather thoroughly: Use a small amount of shampoo and massage it into your scalp. Rinse thoroughly. Focus on your scalp, as that’s where oil and dirt tend to build up. Let the lather run down the lengths of your hair to clean them without drying them out.
2. Conditioner: Apply conditioner to the lengths of your hair, avoiding the scalp. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Conditioner helps moisturize and smooth the hair strands, making your hair more manageable and less prone to frizz.
3. Deep conditioning: Apply the hair mask throughout your hair and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing. For best results, use a shower cap to trap in the heat and help the mask penetrate deeper into the hair strands.
4. Protect and style: Apply a heat protectant before using heat styling tools, and finish with hair oil to tame frizz. Heat protectant products should be applied evenly throughout the hair, and hair oil can be used on both damp and dry hair to add extra shine and softness.

Tips for preventing frizz

• Air-dry whenever possible: Try to avoid using a hair dryer and let your hair air-dry. Letting your hair dry naturally reduces the risk of heat damage drying out your hair and causing frizz.
• Use a silk pillowcase: A silk pillowcase can reduce friction and thus minimize frizz. Cotton pillowcases can cause friction that makes your hair frizzy and damaged overnight. Silk is softer and helps keep your hair smooth and protected.
