Frizz Control

23Jun08

All right, I finally got enough time to do another post so here it goes. Thank you for being so patient with me. I know that a week is a really long time. Anyways, today I’m going to elaborate on frizz control and what I do to tame theĀ  frizz and flyaways.

Products

As you may have noticed from reading my other blogs, my favorite hair care line for hair products is mainly Garnier Fructis. I don’t go out and buy expensive products if I don’t need to. Garnier Fructis is a great alternative, in my opinion. Although, I do use other products such as Dove, Biosilk, Big Sexy Hair, Matrix, etc. Anywho, my favorite can’t-live-without frizz control products are:

  • Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Weightless Anti-Frizz Serum
    I actually did a review a while back on this product here, Garnier Fructis Product Review
  • Garnier Fructis Style Smoothing Milk
    I use this as a back up for the serum
  • Biosilk Silk Therapy
    It’s pretty much the same thing as the Garnier Fructis Serum

How To Apply

I generally like to use one product in my hair at a time, unless I need more. If you’re using a serum like Garnier Fructis or Biosilk or anything related then you’ll want to be extremely careful. Garnier Fructis and Biosilk are literally oil. These products create a slight oily and greasy look. This is why you should be careful. If you put to much, especially at the crown [top] of your hair, then your hair will look too greasy, oil, and just plain Blah!

Start working in the product from bottom to top. Yes, it sounds backwards but this ensures that you don’t apply too much product to your roots. Depending on the length of your hair, start by using a dime-sized amount of product. If you have longer hair, use dime-sized amounts but feel free to get more.

Other Tips

So I did a little research and found a few more tips that you can try to reduce frizz control. Keep in mind that everybody’s hair type is different and some of these tips may not work for you.

  1. Wash and style your hair before you go to bed
    Styling hair at night will reduce frizz because your hair has time to settle. Your pillow helps to smooth out the hairs. This may not work for people that have thin hair and what volume. Your pillow may also flatten your hair a bit. Another thing you can do is blow-dry your hair, sleep, and style it the next day.
  2. Knowing How to Blow-Dry Properly
    Point the nozzle of the hair dryer down to smooth the hair cuticle and finish by using the cool setting on the dryer to set the look. Running cold water after you shower is another method you could use before you blow-dry.
  3. Working With The Humidity
    Instead of working against the moisture, try working with it. This is for people that want to enhance their curly or wavy hair. Enhance the waves and the curls by towel-drying your hair. You can make your hair even more curly and more wavy.
  4. Using Lotion As Frizz Control
    If you’re not sure what brand of hair product you prefer, or are tight on money for a good one that you like, then try using hand lotion. It’s a great alternative for frizz control. Just make sure you don’t use a lot.
  5. Adding Conditioner To Your Hair
    This is for curly haired people, especially those of you that want your curls to be less poofy. After you shower, add a little conditioner to the ends. It’ll give your hair a soft, piece-y look. This will help weigh your curls done so that they don’t stick out as much.
  6. Frozen Towels
    Keeping a frozen towel in the freezer sounds weird, but this really works. I tried it so don’t be scared. Just put a frozen towel in the freezer so that it’s nice and cold, take in out in the morning or whenever you’re going out, and leave it on your head for about 10 to 15 seconds. Voila! Frizz is gone.
