Let’s start with some basic tips and tricks on how to help dry hair. What is frizzy hair after all, if not dry, damaged locks crying out for a little love—and a lot of moisture? There are a few no-nos you need to know about harsh products, heat damage, and dehydration!
Hydrate your hair
Did you know that even oily hair needs moisture? It’s true! In the case of your dry, frizzy hair, adding moisture on a regular basis can work wonders. This includes using conditioner after every shampoo and applying a hydrating hair mask to your routine regularly. Hydration is one of the easiest and most effective ways to help tame unruly, frizzy hair.
Cut down on heat-heavy tools
Are you addicted to blow-drying, straightening, and/or curling your hair? Your hair may be suffering from excess heat. Tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers are all potential culprits. If you absolutely must blow-dry, allow your hair to air dry most of the way beforehand to help reduce potential damage. Speaking of blow-dryers, add a diffuser to yours. Diffusers help to protect hair by dispersing heat. Also, applying a heat protectant spray can be beneficial.
Avoid steamy showers
A steamy, hot shower may feel good after a long day, but it can also contribute to dry, frizzy hair. Heat can cause hair to swell up, as well as irritate the shaft. Stick to lukewarm water instead. If you can bear it, run some cool water on your hair at the end of your shower to help decrease frizz and amplify shine.
Drink water
Our list of dry hair tips wouldn’t be complete without a reminder to hydrate! Drinking water is important for your overall health. Be sure to drink the recommended amount of water per day to keep your body hydrated from the inside out.
