How to Look After Frizzy Hair
Frizzy hair can be difficult to manage, especially in Melbourne’s changing weather. Whether your hair is naturally dry or becomes frizzy after washing
there are simple steps you can take to keep it looking smooth and healthy without using traditional conditioner in the shower.
What Causes Frizz?
Frizz happens when your hair is dry or damaged. The outer layer of the hair strand opens up, letting in moisture from the air, which causes it to puff and lose shape. It’s very common and easy to improve with the right care.
Tips to Help Reduce Frizz
1. Choose a Gentle Shampoo
Look for a moisturising or sulphate-free shampoo. Strong cleansers can dry out your scalp and hair, leading to more frizz.
2. Use a Leave-In Conditioner
A leave-in conditioner is a great alternative to regular conditioner. It adds moisture and softness without weighing your hair down. Apply it to towel-dried hair and style as usual.
3. Avoid Rubbing Your Hair With a Towel
Instead of rubbing, gently squeeze out the water or pat your hair dry using a soft towel or even a cotton T-shirt. This helps reduce friction and keeps the hair cuticle smooth.
4. Limit Heat Styling
Blow dryers and straighteners can make frizz worse. If you use heat, try using a heat protectant and keep the temperature low.
5. Sleep on a Silk or Satin Pillowcase
These materials create less friction while you sleep, which helps reduce frizz and keeps your hairstyle in better shape overnight.
6. Get Regular Haircuts
Split ends and dry tips can make frizz more noticeable. Regular trims help maintain healthy, manageable hair.
7. Try a Lightweight Styling Cream
Our SUNNY GOOD HAIR DAY Leave-In Styling Cream is designed to control frizz, add moisture, and keep your hair in place without any sticky or heavy feeling. It’s made in Australia and suitable for most hair types.
