How to stop the frizz?

Question

I'm half blk/italian, so my hair is a fair texture. Its straight and very long, but it frizzies up alot. When I where it down in the morning or at night outside it gets frizzy. I wash my hair with pantene and condition it, but it goes to a cotton ball, until I straighten it and it still doesn't prevent the frizz! Please help!!!

Answer 1

Wash hair, concentrating on the scalp, using a low-detergent shampoo (the tip-off is that it doesn't lather very much, but when in doubt, buy formula for fine hair). Rinse and apply conditioner, leave it in for a few minutes, and rinse with cool water. Then press - don't rub - wet hair with a towel. Comb your hair gently with a wide-tooth comb.

While hair is still soaking wet, rub a blob of silicone gel, cream, or serum between your palms and run hands down the length of hair to seal the cuticles shut. The coarser the hair, the heavier and richer the product should be. To make sure every strand is coated from the roots to the ends, pin up the top layers of hair and smooth gel or serum on the bottom layers first.

If you have curly hair and want to wear it natural, let it air-dry, or blow-dry it using a diffuser. Hold the dryer so that the diffuser cradles hair from below. To wear hair straight, divide it into two-inch-wide sections. Blow-dry each one on high from roots to ends, using a metal barrel or boar-bristle brush and pointing the nozzle down. To reseal cuticles, use just serum or pomade on dry hair.

Hope this helps~

My hair is kind of the same way. The past few weeks I started using Herbal Essences new product line called "none of your frizziness". I use the shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Then I use a product called "hang straight" by Aveda. Make sure that you use a product like this before you blow dry to protect it from heat damage. It also helps to let your hair air dry for quite a while before you blow dry it so you don't have to apply SO MUCH heat. Then I use a flatiron, even though my hair is already straight, its not smooth. You can't use a cheap flatiron or it won't work. Then I finish with another product from Aveda to smooth all the flyaways. Many times humidity in the air outside inevitably makes frizzies, but I've learned how to handle them. And if all this doesn't work, you can always try a hot oil treatment at a local salon. Dang...what girls have to go through!! Good luck!

Our hair is tricky! I’m also biracial, black/Puerto Rican with natural hair. I live in a humid area, so my advice would be to use Frizz Ease serum by John Frieda (extra strength). It’s so frustrating to turn into a poodle after spending all that time flat ironing your hair!

I used to have the same problem, until I started using Frizz Ease. It’s easy to use, and it’s the only thing that keeps my hair sleek all day, and it lasts until I wash my hair again. I’d also recommend investing in a quality ceramic flat iron, if you haven’t already. It makes the job easier, and seals the cuticle better, giving you a smoother result that’s less prone to frizziness.

Sometimes the frizz is an indication that it's time to get a hair cut ..

Or you can use a frizz free shampoo and conditioner and there's a frizz free moisturizer that you can apply after washing your hair just before blow drying it ...
Good luck

i absolutely love Frizz Ease Hair serum but if you use it make sure you dont use too much or you will get the greasy appearance. i also use Pink moisturizer. Im capeverdean which is sort of a black portuguese spanish mix i guess and its what i use..although my hair is wavy/curly i think it will do good with your hair. i probably just use more than you would.

Answer 7

Try some anti-frizz products.

Answer 8

Relaxers can damage your hair, but there are other good options: ionic treatments and "mane tamers" are both done by professionals and have similar results. They seal your cuticle to prevent damage, texturize and make care easier.
