Frizzy hair is a condition where hair tends to frizz, sometimes even curly, stiff, dry, and with lots of unruly strands sticking out. This condition makes a bad mood because it will ruin your appearance. Frizzy hair can also happen to those of you who usually have healthy hair, ladies! Of course, you want to find a solution to this problem immediately. But before looking for a solution, you must know what causes frizzy hair.
Several factors cause frizzy hair
- Humidity. Indonesia has higher air humidity because it is a tropical country. Humid air contains higher hydrogen, while our hair is sensitive to this hydrogen. As a result, when hydrogen reacts with water and protein molecules in the hair, frizzy hair can occur.
- Dry hair. Dry hair conditions easily absorb moisture at ambient temperatures. This can cause dry hair to become frizzy.
- Damaged hair. It could be due to direct exposure to heat in long enough conditions or washing too often so that the natural oil produced by hair quickly disappears. As previously explained, dry hair is more prone to become frizzy.
How to deal with frizzy hair
1. Choose hair care products that contain glycerin
You need to choose hair care products that contain glycerin because it provides additional hydration to the hair strands. Glycerin can also protect hair and keep it moist. Do not wash too often. Wash your hair 2-3 times a week to keep the natural oils in your hair. You can also choose a shampoo that doesn't contain sulfates so that your hair's natural oil doesn't disappear.
2. Reduce the frequency of using hair dryers and flat irons
Hair dryers and flat irons conduct heat, which can remove the hair's natural moisture so that hair is easily dry and damaged. Especially if your hair type is dry, using hair styling tools will worsen your hair. If you need to use a flat iron or hair dryer, use a low temperature to keep your hair healthy.
3. Coconut oil
Hair care products that contain coconut oil can be a solution to neutralize frizzy hair. Not only moisturizing, but coconut oil can also make hair look softer and shiny. You can choose additional hair care products such as hair masks or oil.
4. Hairspray
It should be noted hair spray can only be used to treat frizzy hair temporarily. If your frizzy hair isn't too bad or you're in a hurry, hair spray can be a solution to keep your hair neat. Hair spray cannot be used continuously to get rid of frizzy hair. Even using excessive hair spray products can damage hair.
Other things to note to deal with frizzy hair:
- Reduce friction, such as drying your hair with a towel and others.
- Use a wide-toothed comb. It can minimize friction on the hair and untangle tangled hair more quickly.
- Treat your scalp. You can use a hair tonic to protect your skin from heat and pollution.
- Always keep natural oil on the hair.
