Why does hair get frizzy?

Frizzy hair usually occurs due to a lack of moisture. When hair is dry or damaged, the cuticle (the outer layer of the hair shaft) opens up, allowing moisture from the air to penetrate and create frizz. Some common causes of frizzy hair are:

• Dry weather and low humidity
• High humidity, which causes hair to absorb moisture and swell
• Damage from heating tools such as straighteners and curling irons
• Chemical treatments such as dyeing and perming
• Too much washing and wrong products that can dry out hair further

Understanding the cause of your frizzy hair will help you choose the right products and create a routine that reduces frizz.

Tips to fight frizzy hair

Here are some practical tips to minimize frizz and get healthier hair:

1. use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner

The right shampoo and conditioner are essential when it comes to fighting frizz. Caring Shampoo and Caring Conditioner from The Every are perfect for those struggling with frizzy hair as they are packed with hyaluronic acid and avocado oil that deeply moisturize and nourish the hair, while being gentle and suitable for even sensitive scalps.

2. apply a deep-acting hair mask once a week

A moisturizing hair mask can do wonders to combat frizz. Caring Masque from The Every, which contains shea butter and hyaluronic acid, is ideal for providing hair with extra moisture and nourishment. Use it once a week to strengthen and soften hair.

3. avoid heating tools or use heat shields

Heat is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to frizzy hair. If you need to use heat tools, make sure to use a heat protectant like Nourishing Heat Protection from The Every, which both moisturizes and protects hair from high temperatures.

4. Try a light hair oil for extra shine

A light hair oil that Renewal Hair Oil can help reduce frizz and add shine without weighing hair down. It contains argan oil, oat kernel oil and rosehip oil to nourish and protect the hair from external stresses, giving a more cohesive and shiny result.

5. Choose a soft towel and be careful when drying

Don't rub your hair with a regular towel, which can create friction and lead to more frizz. Instead, use a soft microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to gently squeeze out the water.

Why frizziness varies between hair types

It is not uncommon for people with curly hair to struggle more with frizz than those with straight hair. This is because curly hair often has a hard time retaining moisture, which makes it react more easily to humidity. While frizz may be more prominent for some hair types, the right products and routine are key to managing frizz, no matter what type of hair you have.
