The Winning Answer - Jalpari's Question

[Reha]

@Chicken_Biryani

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.

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

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.

: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…
