How to Make Hair Less Frizzy (Really, you won't know until you try!!)
If frequent dyeing and perming can cause hair damage, leading to frizz, dryness, and lack of elasticity, not only can you go to a professional salon for oil treatment or hydrotherapy, but you should also focus on daily care. I have my own method of care. If you think it's suitable, you might want to give it a try. The results are quite noticeable!
1. First, if you're going to straighten your hair with an ion perm, you can do deeper care work two weeks in advance, such as professional oil treatments, deep conditioning treatments two to three times a week [http://www.toufa5.com], forming a protective layer. This way, when you straighten your hair, the damage to your hair can be minimized, avoiding even drier, frizzier, and split ends after perming.
2. Daily care is indispensable. Choosing the right shampoo for your hair type is the first very important step. You can choose moisturizing shampoos that contain amino acids and vitamin B5. Pantene Milk Repair Shampoo is recommended.
3. The importance of conditioner. Care sequence [Conditioner - Shampoo - Conditioner - Leave-in Conditioner]. Before washing your hair, use conditioner to gently rub the middle and ends of your hair [http://www.toufa5.com] to form a protective layer. Then wash your hair with shampoo, followed by conditioner care, and finally, when your hair is half-dry, wipe with leave-in conditioner. This way, your hair will be well protected.
4. After washing your hair, don't rub it dry with a towel. Wet hair is easily damaged during rubbing, becoming frizzy. You can gently press with a towel, then wrap your hair with a dry towel. After a while, the moisture will be absorbed.
5. Try to avoid using a hairdryer to dry your hair. Let it air dry naturally whenever possible. If you must use a hairdryer, move your hair left and right while drying [http://www.toufa5.com], rather than up and down, which can make your hair frizzy.
6. Use leave-in conditioner when your hair is half-dry.
7. When going out, you can spray a moisturizing mist on your hair, keeping it hydrated and preventing dryness.
8. You can also do a deep conditioning treatment or oil treatment at home twice a week.
After persisting for a few days, you'll notice significant results. Your hair will become smooth and easy to manage. After persisting for some time, your hair will become soft, elastic, and no longer feel like straw. It's very effective!
1. Hydration is most important. Hair is like skin; hydration is the most basic and important step. If hydration isn't done well, your hair won't absorb nutrients, and problems like split ends, dryness, and frizz will follow. My experience is to choose a deeply hydrating shampoo. Personally, I think the Korean brand [Makeup Fairy] is amazing. Its pearl shine series is really great, moisturizing, hydrating, and nourishing, with a qualitative difference compared to the shampoos I used before. Shiseido's [Flower Whisper] series is also good, very hydrating, and the same series' hair essence is excellent. But when I use these two brands in autumn, I sometimes experience hair loss, possibly due to excessive hydration, so I switch to Herbal Essences' [Fruit Blend]. It's purely used as a backup because I love its fragrance, but its effects naturally can't compare with the previous two.
2. Always use conditioner. Besides giving your hair sufficient moisture, you need to provide enough nutrients to reduce daily hair damage. Using conditioner every time is crucial. Hair care and shampoo should ideally be from the same series. As part of daily care, the role of shampoo and conditioner cannot be ignored. Occasional nutritional treatments at hair salons aren't enough to fundamentally improve hair quality, just like our daily skincare products. Good shampoos can gradually improve hair quality from the root. Nowadays, many shampoos have sun protection values, effectively protecting hair in summer.
3. Control the frequency of dyeing and perming as much as possible. Besides sun exposure and dust, dyeing and perming are the biggest damages to hair. My approach is to control the frequency of dyeing and perming as much as possible, ideally every six months, because even the best dyeing and perming products cause significant damage to hair. So the best way to protect your hair is to dye and perm less. If you must dye, don't try colors that contrast too much with your original hair color; otherwise, once black hair grows out, you'll need to touch up frequently, which is very damaging to your hair.
4. Use professional dyeing and perming products. Unless you're at a professional salon, I generally use self-bought hair dye, like L'Oreal, which is pretty good and more reliable than some salon hair dyes. For perming, try to choose better quality chemicals, like Wella and L'Oreal, rather than cheap unknown ones. This minimizes the damage to your hair.
5. Post-perm and dye repair is crucial. Even with the best chemicals, there will be some damage to your hair. After dyeing and perming, you need to do repair work. Besides using conditioner more often, I also use olive oil and hair nutrients to replenish nutrients for my hair. The hair essence from Shiseido's [Flower Whisper] series and a specific amino acid supplement for hair from Korea's [Flower Messenger] are both excellent. When applying, apply more to the ends and avoid the scalp.
6. Choose alcohol-free styling products. I use Dicai, whose styling products are pretty good and available in many supermarkets.
7. Avoid blow-drying your hair as much as possible; natural drying is best.
8. Rinse the ends of your hair with cold water when washing, making your hair more resilient and shiny.
9. The best way to deal with already damaged hair is to cut it off. Once your hair splits or turns yellow, doing the right nutrition actually doesn't help much.
In summary, after some people perm their hair, their hair becomes particularly dry. My experience is that doing a good job of hydration and nutrition is enough. Daily maintenance is the most important, and of course, adding regular visits to a professional salon is even better. Now, every time I wash my hair, I apply a layer of moisturizing essence (spray or cream) when it's half-dry, and then apply styling products. Don't use a comb; just style with your hands. The next day, I just use a spray bottle filled with water to spray my hair, as I treasure my hair so much, I try to use as little gel as possible, which makes it look more natural and not too stiff.
