16 Amazing Ways To Tame Frizzy Hair Instantly

Frizz can be a nightmare to your good hair days. Those untamed tresses flying everywhere can mess up your entire look. Frizzy hair is an indication that something needs to be done. Mostly faced by people with curly hair, frizzy hair is a common issue which can be solved with some simple changes and tips that we are going to share with you today.

And if you are curious about the reason for your frizzy hair, here is the answer for you.

Why Does Your Hair Get Frizzy?

The outer layer of your hair acts as a protective shield for your hair. The chemicals we expose our hair to and the lack of proper care can damage the outer layer of your hair. This allows the cuticles, which naturally lie flat, to lift and the moisture to enter the hair. This swells up your hair and hence the frizz. This becomes more severe when your hair is extremely dry as it sucks all the moisture it can from the air around and in turn make the hair frizzy and unmanageable.

Luckily, we have some amazing tips that can easily fix the issue and beat the frizz instantly.

Go alcohol-free

Dry hair is one of the major reasons for frizziness as your hair makes up for the lost moisture by sucking it from the air around. Switch to more alcohol-free products.

Go glycerin-rich and sulphate-free
