Frizz is a subject that bothers many women, especially those who have straight hair. This is because the "creepy" strands are much more apparent in this type of hair. So, if you want to know how to eliminate once and for all the much-feared frizz, keep following us in this post.
WHAT CAUSES FRIZZ
Both excess and lack of moisture cause frizz. When straight hair is very dry, without hydration and with open cuticles, it absorbs moisture from the air and can get a "creepy" look. Besides, other factors such as rubbing the towel on the hair after washing also makes the hair more likely to have frizz, due to the friction between the towel and the threads. But with the right treatments and care, eliminating frizz from straight hair can become an easy task!
FINALIZERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FRIZZ IN STRAIGHT HAIR
In addition to prolonging hydration, the finishers are thermo-activated and have a UV filter, protecting straight hair from the high temperature of heat tools and solar rays. After washing the strands, choose your favorite finisher and apply to the lengths and ends. If you let the strands dry naturally, you will see that the strands will be more shaped and without frizz!
DON'T RUB THE TOWEL ON YOUR HEAD AFTER BATHING
To ensure that the threads are aligned after washing, care must be taken when drying the strands. Twisting the hair or rubbing the towel on the straight hair after bathing favors frizz by breaking the strands. So stop now! Ideally, dry the strands gently, without twisting or rubbing them. Preferably, opt for cotton or microfibre towels, which cause less friction in the hair and, instead of rubbing it in the strands, just press it against the hair.
Before using the hairdryer, wait a few minutes so that the hair is not mute wet, this makes it possible for you to brush the strands much faster and avoid the appearance of frizz.
FRIZZ AFTER THE IRON
If you are one of those who don't live without a plate, the tip is: protect straight hair from the heat. Using a thermal protector before finishing the hair with the iron, besides protecting the strands from high temperature, helps to prevent the hair drying out and the spied effect.
If, even after using a thermal protector, frizz persists in appearing, invest in argan oil or a tip repairing oil. Place some of the product on your hands and apply only to the lengths and ends. If the shivery threads are on top of the head, gently wipe the remaining product with your hand and that's it!
BET ON THE RIGHT BRUSH
Detangling the wires with the wrong brush makes them break more easily, increasing the creepy effect of frizz. The tip, in this case, is: use a brush with a straight base (racket style) to comb straight hair. They unravel the strands without them breaking!
BATH WITH HOT WATER NO WAY!
The bath temperature also helps the hair not to have frizz. The high temperature reduces the natural oiliness of straight hair, leaving it more dry. The more dry the hair, the greater the chances of having frizz. Therefore, washing straight hair with cold or warm water is always the best option!
BEWARE OF THE DRYER
To keep your hair healthy and frizz-free, using the dryer the right way is essential. When drying straight hair, always use the hairdryer with the nozzle so that the jet of air is directed and prevents the hair from drying out. Before use, always apply a thermal protector. Remove all excess water with a towel before and leave the dryer at the ideal temperature for your hair, preventing them from burning. To finish, give a jet of cold air after drying to make the hair shine even brighter!
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM EXTERNAL AGENTS
Rainy or very humid weather is ideal for the appearance of frightened little strands in straight hair. However, exposing the hair to the sun also causes frizz, since the excess heat dries the strands, leaving them more fragile and brittle. So, before exposing your hair to the weather, protect it! On wetter or rainier days, invest in products that shield your hair from humidity. And on the hottest days, apply a product with sun protection on the highlights.
DON'T FORGET TO MOISTURIZE
As frizz is a sign of dehydrated hair, hydration can be the great ally of your straight hair. This treatment works on the hair structure, recomposing the strands, leaving the hair softer and smoother for longer (besides helping to combat frizz, right?).
SLEEP WITH STUCK HAIR, NO WAY!
Sleeping with stuck hair causes the hair to break, due to the friction of the pillow with the elastic. As we already know, broken strands favor (and much!) the appearance of frizz. If you do not give up sleeping with your strands stuck, invest in a cap or make a loose coke.
PASS YOUR HAND LESS ON THE WIRES
Riding your hands several times on straight hair generates friction, which further contributes to the appearance of frizz. Therefore, think twice before going out and straighten your hair with your hand.
Well cared for hair is frizz-free hair! So take care of your hair the right way. If you have any doubts about what is best for your straight hair, always consult a reliable professional.
