Really frizzy hair

Leeg17 · 14-09-2011 08:47PM #1

As the title says I've really frizzy hair when I dry my hair after a shower. My hair is blonde and usually quite tight, it grows fairly fast though so when I have a shower it can only really be described as a blonde afro, literally!

I shower daily, use conditioner and dry with a towel (ie not air dry). My hair isn't rough, it's really really soft like a puppy's hair my friend said haha!

I'm male and have never used gels (don't like the look of it) so wondering if you could recommend any products that may help?

Don't towel dry, you're roughening up the hair cuticles. Is your hair long? If you can then condition your hair in the shower, brush it through with a wide toothed comb, rinse and then brush once more. When you're out of the shower, pat your hair with a towel (don't rub it or tousle it!) to get rid of excess water, and then run your fingers through it or comb it again with the same comb as earlier. Allow your hair to air dry or blow dry it using a diffuser.

There are probably some good products you could use too but I'm not use to you about that sort of thing!

try only shampooing your hair once a week, and when you have your daily shower just rince the water through your hair. When you get out put some Aussie 3 min miracle conditioner into it. It might dry itself into curls or you can scruch it with your hands and blow dry it .. takes all of 2 mins .. very handy. The conditioner drys into the hair so doesn't look like you have used styling products. I got this tip of a guy with a proper fro. My hair was long and fuzzy, so I surprised to find that it was actually just curly and needed some help!

I dunno if I said it clearly, my hair is usually kept quite short so being frizzy isn't bad then, but around 2 weeks after it's cut it's quite noticable .. none of this drying into curls thing

I'll definitely try the suggestions posted above though, thanks.

John Frieda does a reaaaallly great range in Boots. I always go on about it :P

It's a serum but ya only use a teeeeeeny tiny bit, literally the size of a 1c coin so it lasts ya for ages!

Give your hair a rub through with that and ya should be sorted

And stay away from the towels!! Just let it dry on its own!

I've tried everything for my frizz..
Only thing that's really worked is paul mitchell skinny serum.

Was sucked in by the reviews here
