I'm a brunette with frizzy hair! Any ideas? Please!?

Question

I want a back to school look. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I have problems with frizziness too. This is my hair regimen to get rid of it! (If you look at my avatar….you’ll see that it really does work!!). Good luck! =)

1. Choose a shampoo or conditioner by looking for the words smoothing, moisturizing or hydrating on the front of the bottle (I use Pantene Pro-V for dry and damaged hair).

2. After washing, towel dry and apply a smoothing or frizz serum (I like John Frieda’s Frizz Ease…found at most drug stores).

3. Let hair hang dry until it is almost fully dry. When almost dry, finish drying with a blow dryer while using a round boar-bristle brush (work with small areas at a time – do not let your hair blow all over the place, otherwise it will just become more unruly).

4. Make sure your hair is completely dry. If there is anymore moisture left it will become frizzy.

5. By using a 1-1/2 inch (or larger) curling iron or a flat iron, you can smooth out any left over frizz.

6. You can also apply a hair wax (like Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax) or pomade (like Got2B Defiant Define Plus Shine Pomade) now.

7. Finish off by using a flexible hair spray (like Finesse’s Touchable hair spray).

* Get your ends trimmed up at least every 6 weeks.

John Frieda has a line of hair care products for frizzy hair called 'frizz ease'. Also, try using VO5 hot oil in the shower. Your hair may be frizzy due to lack of moisture and the hot oil will give it a surge of moisture. If you need more long-term help, Redken has a line of shampoo and conditioner called 'Clear moisture' that is wonderful. If the frizz is due to humidity, sprinkle a little bit of cornstarch on your hair (not much, just a tiny bit) and comb through your hair. Don't use much because it will strip your hair of essential oils and dry it out. Just a little will take some of the moisture off and let it be less frizzy. Try adding moisture first before you take it away...also, if it's dead ends causing the frizz, go for a trim. Every 6 weeks will keep your hair in top condition, and will keep the frizz at bay.

Sweetie, I am talking seriously! Usa a spray by Matrix Biolage called Smoothing Milk. It works great!!! I used to have the same problem, my hair would get frizzy so fast I looked like a lion at the end of the day. Ever since I started using the smoothing milk my hair doesn't tangle as much and if its humid or it rains my hair stays the same. If you can, you should use a ceramic flat iron to style your hair , that helps too. You can find the Smoothing Milk at JCPenney. Good Luck!

You may need a trim. If you want a back to school look. Try going out to a Smartstyle salon located inside your superwalmart and ask them for a trim and maybe look at some of the styling books. I recommend going to someone who has done it for awhile and who is young and creative. If you have medium to thick hair I recommend getting a razor cut. They help cut out a lot of bulk. As for products, Sleek by matrix is an excellent product for frizzy hair and will help tame those ends. You can by it at a salon. The one I mentioned above may have it on sale this month as we have stock up month this month and you get liters for a reasonable price. Maybe also using a flat iron will help smooth it out. Good luck to whatever you decide to do. For all those who are recommending an non salon product, they will usually leave build up on your hair and have floor wax as well in them. Like Pantene Pro V. Also VO5 doesn't work. You can't mix oil with water.

Answer 5

I have very frizzy/curly hair so when I get out of the shower I put moose in it. Then style it the way you want or let it down and then hair spray it.

It you want a new look for back to school use a big roung curling iron and curl your hair leaving the ends out so it looks like that bed head look and then blow dry your hair upside down. It takes awhile to get the hang of how to do it but its a very popular look right now and its easy to do!

Answer 6

ok my hair is brunette and frizzy too. heres what i do, while its still wet, put in some gel or spray gel, scrunch, and let it dry naturally or get a diffuser. when its dry, if you think it looks too full, pull it back n do half up half down. use a cool clip w/ rindstones or flowers on it. or, you could straighten your hair. but if you have hair like mine, it would friz w/ in like 10 secs of stepping outside. id go w/ the scrunching bc it makes cute curls that stay for a long time, unless your hair is really thin

Answer 7

If it's curly frizzy, try Fructise products. They do a great job of taking out the frizz and are not expensive. Also go to a good stylist and get a good cut with some layers to take out the heaviness.

Answer 8

After you wash your hair, while it's still wet, slather on The Conditioner by Paul Mitchell & leave that in. Wrap your hair in a towel to absorb most of the moisture in your hair, then comb it out. Next step, use FrizzEase serum by John Frieda - this stuff really does work at taming the frizz! Let your hair air-dry & it will be smooth & shiny.

Answer 9

You would have to give some more information about the type of hair you have for me to answer...but I can say this...I have curly hair and if I don't use some type of product, it frizzes. I don't like gels because they are drying and sticky. I usually use some type of hair creme. They seem to work well for me. If your hair is straight and frizzy, you might want to try using something like frizz ease and LIGHTLY run it over your dry hair...you might want to even try a flat iron. It really depends on the type of hair you have.
