Frizzy Hair - How to deal with It
Riya has naturally long wavy hair that she prefers wearing down all the time
, as it frames her face perfectly, accentuating her already beautiful sharp features. But come summer and this crowning glory of Riya, soon turns into a nightmare! The increase in the humidity content of the air causes her wavy hair to break out and become frizzy; tying her hair up to avoid sweating also adds to the frizz becoming more prominent, causing a huge amount of worry for poor Riya.
To help Riya out, let's first know what exactly is frizzy hair?
Many people are mistaken when they think that Frizzy hair' is a hair type! But frizzy hair is not a hair type rather it is a condition which mostly affects those with wavy or curly hair. It can occur due to many reasons such as excessive brushing of the wavy or curly hair with a comb that has fine bristles or due to constant washing as shampoo can dry out hair or because of the change in the humidity content of the air such as in summers and winters.
While there are plenty of such reasons that can explain frizzy hair, at the base of all these reasons is one common factor that we overlook i.e.Water! Most of us don't know this, but drinking enough water throughout the day helps to hydrate the body and hair from within therebypreventing hair from becoming frizzy. Summer heat also tends to take away the precious moisture from hair leaving it moisture less, dry, dull, lifeless and not to mention frizzy.
Why does frizzy hair only affect those with wavy or curly hair?
To know the answer to this question, lets take a good look at the follicles (very small holes in your skin that contain the roots of your hairs. People with straight hair have straight follicles while those with curly or wavy hair have curved follicles that gives the waves or curls to their hair. Further while in case of normal hair, hair cuticles (the outermost part of the hair shaft tend to stay together close to each other,wavy or curly hair, due to its shape, forces the hair cuticles to lift or come undone, giving the hair a frizzy appearance!
Is there any way to control/treat/get rid of frizzy hair?
Sure! There is hope for Riya and thousands like her. Frizzy hair can easily be controlled this summer by following a few do's and don'ts,
Frizzy Hair Do's:
Cut down your hair's exposure to the sun and its ultraviolet rays that can damage your hair by taking away the moisture from it, making it appear dry and lifeless with the help of a scarf or a cap or with an umbrella
A good way to control frizzy hair is to deep condition it every time you wash it. An important thing to remember is that deep conditioners are different from normal conditioners that can be rinsed off 5 minutes after application; deep conditioners are mostly thick in texture and should be left on for at least 10-15 minutes before being rinsed off.
A great way of maximizing the benefits of a deep condition is to wrap your hair up in a warm towel after applying the conditioner, as the warmth of the towel will help the conditioner in better penetration into the hair shaft.
Another good tip for managing frizzy hair is to give it the hot oil treatment. Using olive oil is advised as it moisturizes your hair better than regular oils. After oiling your hair (especially the ends of your hair), cover it with a towel or a shower cap to retain the heat of the oil which helps it to seep into the scalp and reach the hair roots, nourishing them Wash your hair after 15-30 minutes plus you might want to rinse your hair twice to remove all the oil as it seeps in quite deep.
Drink water, plenty of water as your hair needs to be well hydrated for retaining its moisture, and what better way to moisturize your hair than from within! To know more about
