Contain the mane

Molly Hawks

The battle to control unruly hair is a never-ending process and frizz is almost always the culprit.

Frizz can attack anyone at anytime. It can turn hours of styling into an unruly mess. The secret to helping keep hair frizz-free is to maintain a healthy mane.

Frizz can occur in any temperature from the humid heat of summer to the bitter winter chill. However, you don’t have to fight the battle alone.

The cold air of winter lacks moisture and will dry out hair, plus the added static and tangling from coats and scarves can damage hair as well. However, you don’t have to fight the battle alone.

Many different products in a range of prices are available to avoid frizzy hair. Keeping hair hydrated is the key to beating frizz in any weather. All-natural products and oil-based are a few options that tend to work well on many. Try using a deep moisturizing treatment once a week to replenish what your hair loses throughout the week. A daily form of leave in conditioner or hair oil will protect your locks from further damage. When combing out knots caused by your fuzzy scarf, make sure to be gentle and comb from the bottom up.

In the summer, many people spend their extra time basking in the sun or taking a dip in the pool. The sun and chlorine can parch your hair in no time. The way to combat frizz in this weather is to protect your hair beforehand. Add an extra layer of leave-in conditioner before getting in the pool and wet your hair in the shower before diving into the chlorine. This will allow your hair to absorb more conditioner and non-chlorinated water rather than all that pool water that will strip your hair of essential oils.

Even after all of these precautions, frizz can be unpredictable and strike at any time. If you can’t completely beat the frizz, don’t be afraid to rock your mane just the way it is.
