Yikes! Summer is almost over, yet your hair is still feeling the heat. Frizzy hair can be such a drag – constantly checking how humid it will be or if it is going to rain. Don’t worry, you aren’t alone in this ongoing battle of hair frizz.
What is Hair Frizz?
According to Monica, hairstylist and founder of MoKnowsHair, “Frizz occurs when the cuticle layer of your hair is raised, allowing moisture to pass through and swell the strands. As a result, your hair appears dry and frizzy instead of smooth and defined.” Knowing this information, we can look into products that give our hair more moisture, talk about what makes frizz worse, and remedies to help tame the mane.
Keep in mind, not every product will work for everyone. With hair being so versatile – thick, thin, coarse, etc. – it is hard to find a universal product. Make sure to have fun and experiment with different hair products and hair tools to find what works best for you!

Hair Frizz Care Routine
Though products are important, routines are essential as well. Here a couple of tricks to tame your frizz and prevent it from getting worse.
Don’t Brush Your Dry Hair
When you brush your dry hair, you are disrupting your cuticle. With the stretching of your hair, you are making your hair frizzy. To prevent this, first towel-dry your hair, then gently brush or comb it while it is still damp. Experiment with different moisturizing products and see what works for you and your locks in the process.
Braid Your Hair After Showering
This is a secret tip we have discovered. After showering, place your hair in as many braids you prefer, and leave it in for a few hours or sleep on it. When there’s not much time to get ready in the mornings, like during the school or work week, this is our go-to. Your hair will come out looking like it was curled and you don’t even have to use any product!
There you have it! A compiled list that lets you feel better about going out into the heat. Don’t let a few fly aways or frizz keep you from enjoying each day. Feel free to also ask your hairstylist for their recommendations. They can look at your hair and refer you to what they think will be best for you and your mane.
