Why does hair become dry and frizzy?

Do you know that feeling when your hair is impossible to control, and no matter what you do, it always seems to take on a life of its own? Well, there's actually science behind why your hair behaves this way.

• Moisture deficiency: Dry hair simply means that it lacks moisture. When hair strands don't have enough moisture, they start to lift their cuticles (like little scales on the hair shaft), and this makes the hair look frizzy.
• Weather: Humid air can cause the mountain layers to rise even more, leading to more frizz. Cold can also dry out hair, making it even harder to manage.
• Improper hair care: If you use products with sulphates or wash your hair too often, you may be washing away the natural oils that your hair actually needs to stay healthy and moisturized.
• Heat tools: If you love your straightener, but notice that your hair feels like hay afterwards, then you know what I'm talking about. Heat wears your hair down and dries it out.

How to save your dry and frizzy hair

But don't despair! Here are some tips and tricks to revitalize your hair and say goodbye to frizz.

1. use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner

If you want to combat dryness and frizz, a good first step is to use products designed to provide moisture. Try our Caring Shampoo and Caring Conditioner. Both of these products contain hyaluronic acid and avocado oil, which help to moisturize and soothe both hair and scalp.

2. Add a nourishing hair mask to your routine

A hair mask can be the magic solution to restore moisture balance. Caring Masque is perfect for a deep conditioning treatment and contains shea butter, which helps to provide intense moisture to dry strands.

3. avoid heating tools - or use heat shields

We love to style our hair, but heat is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to dry and frizzy hair. If you still have to use heat tools, make sure to protect your hair with our Nourishing Heat Protection which both moisturizes and protects against heat damage.

4. Try oils for your hair

Hair oil can do wonders to tame frizz and give hair the shine it deserves. Our Renewal Hair Oil contains Argan Oil, Oat Oil and Rosehip Oil to nourish your hair and reduce frizz, without feeling greasy or heavy.

5. use the right styling products

Frizzy hair requires the right kind of styling. A texture spray can help add volume while keeping hair in place. Our Texture Spray adds both volume and texture, without weighing hair down or making it frizzy.

A step-by-step guide to combat dry and frizzy hair

Here's a simple guide you can follow to keep your hair healthy, moisturized and frizz-free:

1. Wash with the right products - Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that is free from sulphates and silicones. This helps preserve the hair's natural oils.
2. Deep condition once a week - Apply a nourishing hair mask or oil at least once a week to give your hair extra moisture.
3. Protect your hair from heat - If you use heat tools, make sure you always apply a heat protectant beforehand. This will help reduce damage and dryness.
4. Air dry when you can - Air dry your hair as often as possible instead of using a hairdryer. If you must use a hair dryer, use it on low heat.
5. Use a leave-in conditioner or serum - To keep your hair moisturized and frizz-free all day, use a leave-in product that moisturizes and protects against external factors.

Common mistakes to avoid if you have dry and frizzy hair

Sometimes we do things to our hair without even thinking about it - but some habits can make your hair even drier and frizzier. Here are some things you should avoid:

• Overuse of heat tools - As mentioned before, heat tools can make hair drier and more brittle. Give your hair a break sometimes!
• Incorrect products - Products containing sulphates, parabens or silicones can do more harm than good. Always look for gentle and moisturizing products, like our 100% vegan products.
• Washing your hair too often - It may be tempting to wash your hair every day, but too much washing can actually dry out your hair. Try to stick to 2-3 times a week.
