Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

Ok my question is that how to tame hair that is frizzy because of humid weather. July and August has been a nightmare for me. I spend all my time in straightening hair and off it goes in a fly.

My hair isn't long enough or i would love plaits.

Last year i tried loreal elvive shampoo for frizzy hair and zero frizz serum but that was of no use:(

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari’s Question

I have curly hair and the frizz problem is one that I cant conquer so all I do is condition my hair well so its not dry and frizzy and simply leave it curly on days when its humid.

Yeah, Im one of those girls that checks the weather before doing her hair…:snooty:…not spending 45 minutes straightening only for it to curl up in 10.

*I'm a hijabi now, but before I used John Frieda serum the night before and put my hair in a high bun before sleeping. I would wake up to smooth silky waves. Then add a little more serum before making a messy hair style. Let your hair be the natural hair you have and don't force them into a style ( atleast not in the summer). I love this serum because it keeps your hair light but with volume and no frizz. *

That is really smart:p

my hair is hardly shoulder length and that length doesnt carry waves well:( Alright even if i keep them naturally wavy, i would want to straighten them some days:( I have voluminous hair, and they look pretty when i straighten them, or blow dry them:naak:

I hardly want more volume:(

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari’s Question

I have heard great reviews about John Frieda serum as well … jalpari , it doesnt increase your volume largely, just doesnt let the hair go completely limp … I think Gaia means the same … :hmmm:

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

use Moroccan oil. Or if you want to save a few bucks, try Argan Oil. I have THE most frizzy and nappy hair a brown girl can have, and it's the only thing that tames my hair and makes it look nice. Just wash you hair, and apply it when wet. Your hair will turn out soft and frizz free.

other tips:

  • use a leave in conditioner, or if you dont have it at the moment, i would just leave a tiny bit of normal conditioner in my hair
  • use baby oil after washing your hair (it smells a lot nicer than other oils and isnt that heavy)
  • a diffuser makes a BIG difference

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

Jalpari , Afshi's shared some really good tips , I would just like to add that , you dont use a towel to dry your hair after a bath. It just increases the frizz, let them dry on their own. Also if you put oil on wet hair , it traps the moisture in them for a longer time and that too reduces the frizz ultimately.

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

just take a few drops of ANY oil and apply to your hair...it reduces frizz

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

The more you straighten your hair, the more prone to frizziness it will become as you are damaging the cuticle and making it more porous.

Firstly you need to get your hair back in good condition, so stop straightning so much (or at all) and try to work with what your hair naturally wants to do.

Buy a decent professional shampoo and conditioning treatment. Aveda Dry Remedy is great.

Whilst your hair is wet, it's time to get some products into it. Some of the brands do protein sprays which protect the hair whilst being weightless, so liberal application of that is fine.

I recommend frizz ease too (when your hair is wet) but used sparingly because otherwise your hair will feel greasy.

After this, you can use a mousse to enhance your waves.

Don't towel dry or brush it through more than the initial brush. You want to do a lot of scrunching to encourage the waves.

If you continue like this, hopefully when you do straighten your hair for the odd occasion, it will feel much smoother and get less frizzy due to humidity.

I stopped towel drying altogether now…I admit it was out of laziness more than anything else but what CB is saying helps.

:k:

I stopped straightening recently because we’ve just been having too much humidity and thunderstorms so what is the point of straightening. The thing is, when you get way from the iron…your hair starts to regain bounce, body and health. I comb through my hair with my fingers, flip it over, apply a detangling mousse and scrunch. Thats it. I let it air dry and then clip it when Im at work.

Jalpari, if your hair is wavy then do your best to try and work that wave into a manageable hair style. I LOVE my hair straight but I gotta work with I got varna vo bhi nahin rahega…lol…:hehe:

:rotfl: ahahahaha

btw what’s scrunch? :@:

Thanks a lot afshi. I ll check for these oils today.

That hardly works when its too humid.

I put oil in wet hair when i am running out of serum:p

Yea no towel dry.

I have straightened them only twice in last 6 months, though i do blow dry them once in a weak.

Hey i dont want waves:(

My hair was straight, just slightly, very slightly wavy towards the tips. I started using straightener some 3-4 years ago, that too on daily basis, for that sleek look:(

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

I'm a bit confused! You only straightened them twice in 6 months or on a daily basis?

Regardless, you need to get your hair back in good condition so you need conditioning products, anti-frizz etc.

Also, don't straighten your hair the same day you wash it. Let it air dry and try straightening the next day for better results.

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

I had been using it on regular basis for last 3-4 years. But i stopped it altogether when i got a hair cut last December cuz i wanted to regain the bounce as well as the texture. So after that i used it twice only.

My hair is fine otherwise. I have been oiling them and using hair masks on regular basis. Its only humidity that turns them into a nightmare.

Graphically sexy:p

Re: The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

Depending on where you live, not sure if you can get a hold of these products. One is Biosilk serum, which might cost you an arm and a leg. But a cheaper inexpensive alternative which works just as well is Proclaim's 'Glossing Polish' Frizz Eliminating Shiner. The large bottle will run you about $8-$10 from Sally's..but then again, not sure if you are in the States or not.

And an extra tip: if you blowdry, always always always blow dry DOWNWARDS! Meaning, if you are starting at the scalp, make sure the blowdryer is facing downward. If you do it upwards or sideways you will RAISE the cuticle of your hair, allowing for added fizziness!

Im sure you've seen people who blowdry and end up with silky straight hair, and then those who blowdry and look like they just got electrocuted? Well those are the ones who raised their cuticle.

Hair tends to 'swell' in humid climate, drying your hair will help with the frizz and hair serums with silicone help tame it as well.

Use a leave-in conditioner 2-3 times a week.
