Ask any woman about her most frustrating hair woe, and chances are, she’ll mention the dreaded frizz. The relentless heat and humidity of the Singaporean climate can be particularly unkind to our locks. But how do you keep your hair hydrated when the culprit is something beyond anyone’s control?
To tackle the frizz effectively, understanding its root cause is crucial. In essence, frizz results from a lack of moisture in the hair. So, what role does humidity play in this equation?
When your hair is dehydrated, it seeks moisture from the surrounding air. The higher the humidity, the more hydrogen is present in the air. Unfortunately, our hair’s chemical structure is sensitive to hydrogen. Excessive moisture absorption causes the hair to form too many hydrogen bonds, leading the cuticles to swell and, in essence, explode. This results in the hair curling up and tangling.
Dry hair, being more parched, is more susceptible to frizz. Here are five life-changing hacks to keep your hair moisturised and bid farewell to frizz.
Anti-Frizz Home Tips
-
Minimize Heat Styling: Steer clear of, or at least limit the use of, heat styling tools, including blow dryers. Excessive heat opens up cuticles, removing not only surface moisture but also water bound to the hair, leaving it dry and brittle. Consider investing in ionic styling tools for faster styling with less heat and always use heat protectant spray for added protection.
-
Reduce Hair Washing Frequency: Try washing your hair only three times a week or every other day. While it may seem daunting, this helps your hair retain its natural moisture. Daily washing strips away natural oils, leading to dryness and potential damage. Dry shampoos can be your ally to keep your hair fresh between washes.
-
Choose Paraben and Sulfate-Free Products: Opt for hair products that are free from parabens and sulfates. These chemicals, commonly found in cleaning products, contribute to excessive foaming. While more expensive, paraben and sulfate-free products are gentler on your hair, especially if you need to wash it frequently.
-
Indulge in Hair Masks and Deep Conditioners: Treat yourself to some “me-time” with regular applications of hair masks and deep conditioners. These products, whether store-bought or homemade with ingredients like coconut oil and honey, are loaded with hydrating and restorative properties. They breathe life back into dry hair.
By incorporating these hacks into your hair care routine, you can bid farewell to tangles and embrace healthier, more manageable locks.
