Our tips for fighting frizz

Frizz comes from a variety of sources, and understanding the causes can help to prevent it:

1. Humidity: humidity is one of the main triggers of frizz. When hair absorbs moisture from the air, hair cuticles lift, causing frizz. Using anti-frizz products can help seal cuticles and prevent frizz.

2. Dryness: dehydrated hair is more prone to frizz. Moisturising is essential to keep hair cuticles smooth and balanced. Natural plant-based oils, such as piqui, broccoli and pracaxi, can help moisturise and prevent frizz.

3. Hair damage: damaged hair, whether it's the result of excessive heat, harsh chemicals or inappropriate styling, has damaged cuticles. These damaged cuticles encourage frizz. It is essential to look after and moisturise your hair to prevent this damage.

4. Genetics: some people's hair is naturally more prone to frizz due to their genetics. However, proper care can still help reduce frizz, even in those who have inherited a tendency to this.

Therefore, it's important to maintain a moisturising routine to keep your hair nourished and disciplined.

1. Remember to apply a detangling and smoothing conditioner to your hair after your anti-frizz shampoo to make it easier to detangle your hair and prevent flyaways when styling.

2. Gently towel dry your hair, preferably with a microfibre towel, squeezing the strands without rubbing, then leave to air dry. Next, apply an anti-frizz serum to your hair while it's still wet.

3. To detangle your hair, opt for a brush with soft bristles that avoid pulling on the hair fibre, or use a wide-toothed comb, especially for curly hair. This will help to maintain beautiful, clean waves without breaking them.

4. When you wake up in the morning, spray a little water or a styling lotion on your hair to smooth out any crinkles left by your pillow. Then apply your natural frizz-fighting leave-in treatment to neutralise flyaways and tame your hair.

1. Use less heat: use heating tools such as straightening irons or hairdryers at low temperatures to reduce heat damage. Alternatively, apply a heat protectant before use to protect your hair from heat damage.

2. Rinse your hair with cold water: finish your shower by rinsing your hair with cold water to close the cuticles and reduce frizz.

3. Reduce your exposure to humidity: hair tends to frizz more in humid weather. If possible, use an umbrella or hat in the rain to protect your hair from humidity.

4. Choose the right products: opt for hair products specifically formulated to reduce frizz and smooth hair. Look for ingredients such as argan oil, shea butter or silk protein, which help to moisturise and smooth hair.

5. Avoid touching your hair too much: over-brushing or over-touching hair can cause friction and frizz. Avoid constantly touching your hair and use soft hair accessories to avoid breakage.

6. Protect your hair while you sleep: use a satin cap or satin pillowcase to protect your hair at night. This will reduce friction and prevent frizz while you sleep.

7. Eat a balanced diet: a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals can help keep your hair healthy and reduce frizz. Make sure you eat enough foods such as oily fish, fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds.
