Frizz is one of the most hated villains for some curly women around the world. The unkempt look and the idea of careless hair is what makes the dreaded frizz in the sights of those who want to improve the look of their hair.
With this in mind, we have gathered some information and tips on how to reduce frizz in your hair.
First of all, it is important to emphasize that frizz is not necessarily a problem for curly hair or people with any hair curvature because the new hair that is growing from the root also generates this frizz as it is different in size from the older strands. This process is normal and thanks to the emergence of the new strands we do not become bald (laughs).
But, in most cases of people who have a lot of frizz, the reasons are generated by some carelessness of the person itself.
Let’s see how we can improve our anti-frizz care routine?
UNTANGLING: When untangling your hair, know that this is the most favorable time for hair breakage and, therefore, frizz generation. Always untangle your hair when it is wet and with conditioner applied. Start at the ends, using your fingers or a comb with thick, widely spaced bristles. Do not use force and be patient. With Stuca Conditioner or Stuca Moisture Mask, your hair will be better prepared for this moment.
TYING YOUR HAIR: The use of inappropriate elastics or hair clips also causes hair breakage and frizz. It is important that you do not use anything too tight or that has any metal part that can cause breakage. Opt for less tight hair clips, preferably made with material that has less adhesion, such as satin fabrics, for example.
WASHING WITH HOT WATER: This is one of the causes of hair dryness. Hot water helps to remove excess natural oils from the hair shaft, damaging its hydration. And dry hair tends to break more easily. When rinsing your hair, prefer to use warm water or water at natural temperature, but never pour hot water on your hair.
WHEN YOU SLEEP: lying your head on a pillow with very rough fabric helps in the friction of the hair and the appearance of frizz. For this, our suggestion is to always use satin pillowcases on the pillow or, if you prefer, use a satin cap without your head so that your hair is kept and the friction is from the pillow on the cap and not on your hair.
WEARING A HELMET: We know that people who wear a helmet tend to have frizz due to the friction generated in the hair. In this case, our suggestion is that the motorcyclist/rider should wear the satin cap before the helmet, protecting her hair.
XAMPUS: The most indicated shampoos for cleansing the scalp are those with a mild composition and made especially for curly hair. The shampoos can be hair villains and cause frizz if they have aggressive cleansing properties, removing the natural and healthy oiliness in excess. With this in mind, Stuca’s line was designed with 3 types of sanitizers with mild cleansing properties and with a concentration of vitamin B5 (panthenol) to help moisturizing the hair while cleansing.
HYDRATION: this is the key word for anyone who wants healthy, frizz-free hair. Hydration allows hair to be healthy and manageable, reducing the likelihood of breakage. The Stuca Line has moisturizing components from cleansing to curl shaping. Therefore, it is the perfect line for the care needed to have hair with minimal frizz.
