Frizzy hair - a perpetual struggle for many. Do you recognize yourself when you look in the mirror and see a mane of hair that lives its own life? Then you are not alone! Frizz can strike at any time, especially when it's humid outside or when your hair is dry and damaged. But don't worry - we have plenty of tips to get your frizzy hair under control. Here we'll go through why hair gets frizzy, what you can do about it, and which products from The Every can help you along the way.
Why does hair get frizzy?
Frizzy hair occurs when hair lacks moisture and therefore starts to attract moisture from the air. This results in a fluffy or 'electric' look that can be difficult to style. The causes of frizz can vary, but the most common factors include:
- Dryness and damage: Damaged or very dry hair has lost its natural moisture content and is therefore more prone to frizz.
- Humid environment: High humidity causes the surface layer of the hair to open up and absorb water from the air, leading to frizz.
- Improper hair care: Using products containing sulphates or alcohol can dry out your hair and make it more frizzy.
- Heat tools: Overusing straighteners and curling irons without heat protection damages the hair structure and contributes to frizziness.
How to get rid of frizzy hair
Fighting frizzy hair is all about moisturizing and protecting your hair. Here are some steps you can follow to get frizz under control:
1. use the right shampoo and conditioner
Choose a shampoo and conditioner that are specially designed to moisturize your hair. Caring Shampoo and Caring Conditioner from The Every are perfect for combating dryness and nourishing the hair and scalp. They contain hyaluronic acid and avocado oil to help lock in moisture and fight frizz.
2. apply a deep conditioning hair mask regularly
A moisturizing hair mask can do wonders for frizzy hair. Use it Caring Masque once a week to give your hair a real moisture boost. It contains shea butter and hyaluronic acid to deeply moisturize and leave hair soft and shiny.
3. Heat protection is your best friend
If you love styling your hair with heat tools, make sure to use a good heat protectant to prevent further damage. Nourishing Heat Protection from The Every is a great product that not only protects against heat, but also moisturizes and counteracts split ends.
4. Invest in a good hair oil
Hair oils can help tame frizz and give hair a healthy shine. Renewal Hair Oil is a great option that contains argan oil and oat kernel oil to nourish and protect hair without feeling heavy or greasy.
5. use a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt
Regular towels can cause friction and increase frizziness in your hair. Instead, switch to a microfiber towel or an old cotton T-shirt when drying your hair to minimize damage.
