Frizzy Hair: 5 Main Causes and 8 Effective Solutions

Hot, humid weather can cause some of us to suffer from problems like frizzy hair. Frizzy hair can be frustrating, especially when nothing seems to tame it.

As annoying as frizzy hair can be, most of us aren't exactly sure what causes it, which means we don't know the best way to manage it. Don't worry—we're here to answer all your questions.

Do some people have naturally curly hair?

Some people have naturally curly hair, which tends to be drier because the natural oils produced by the scalp cannot travel down the strands of curly hair as well as they do down straight hair. As a result, they have a certain amount of natural frizz, which is most noticeable when individual strands do not come together to form a defined curl.

What causes frizzy hair?

There are many different factors that can dry out your hair and make frizz worse:

Air Humidity

That's why your hair gets frizzy on a hot, humid summer day. A dry scalp becomes rough and opens up to moisture. As a result, the humid environment causes over-dried hair to frizz because the outer layer begins to absorb moisture from the air and swell.

Washing Your Hair in Very Hot Water

Washing your hair in very hot water can have the same effect as humidity. Hot water puts a strain on your hair and scalp, which produces beneficial oils. That’s why it’s best to wash your hair in lukewarm water.

Harsh Hair Products

Chemicals or harsh products strip the hair of its natural oils. The natural oils produced by the scalp help smooth the hair. So if you completely strip them away, it can cause your hair to become frizzy.

The following may contain harsh ingredients:

  • hair dye
  • perms
  • products containing sulfates
  • products containing alcohol

Excessive lightening, bleaching, or coloring of hair using products with a high ammonia content can damage the hair's surface, leaving it rough to the touch, dull, and frizzy.

Drying Hair with a Towel

The friction caused by a towel with nylon bristles when drying your hair can damage the scalp and cause unpleasant frizz. The rougher the fabric, the more damage it can cause to your hair. If possible, use a microfiber towel when drying your hair.

How to Care for Frizzy Hair

You can combat frizz by using moisturizing products, conditioning masks, or serums that protect and smooth your hair. You should also use gentle shampoos or cleansers.

In addition, the following steps may help:

  • Limit the use of heat styling
  • Use lukewarm water to wash your hair
  • Use conditioner or hair masks
  • Avoid harsh hair products
  • Use a microfiber towel to dry your hair
  • Go to the boar-bristle brush
