If you are looking for solutions on how to get
rid of frizzy hair, don’t look further than your kitchen. Here are some natural
ways to treat frizzy hair-
1.
Vinegar
It might not smell that
good, but vinegar is a great and natural way to treat frizzy hair. Just add 1
tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a cup of water and massage into your
hair and scalp; it will condition the hair, add shine and help to remove
dandruff as well. Rinse thoroughly after 5-10 minutes! Do it once or twice a
week and see wonderful results.
2.
Eggs
To nourish and bring the
shine back to your hair, whip one egg into some tepid water and apply it to
your hair, massage gently. Wash out with warm water and not hot though, or
you’ll end up with an omelette on your head! No need to shampoo. Condition
as usual.
3.
Avocado
hair mask
Another one from the
kitchen: mash one ripe avocado and mix it with two tablespoons of coconut oil
to make a smooth paste (use your blender) and apply to your hair as a mask for 20-30
minutes, then shampoo and condition. Use once or twice a week and it will
naturally condition your hair, nourish, help to prevent dryness, fight frizz
and split ends.
4. Banana hair mask
Bananas can do wonderful
job conditioning and nourishing your hair, relieving dryness and fighting
frizz. Here is how to get rid of frizzy hair with this natural banana hair
mask: place one ripe banana, two tablespoons of olive oil and one tablespoon of
honey in your blender and push the button. Apply this mix on your locks for
20-30 minutes, then shampoo and condition.
5.
Don’t
shampoo too often
Everyone likes to have a
clean head of hair, but shampooing every day can dry out all the natural
moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and frizzy. Try shampooing every two or
three days and experiment with some milder shampoos to see if this makes a
difference.
6.
Don’t
blow dry for too long
Blow drying your hair
for too long will dry out the natural oils in your hair and cause the strands
of hair to actually shrink, so keep drying time to a minimum. Also, try using a
cool setting on your hairdryer; it will be less damaging for your locks and it
will help get rid of frizzy hair too.
7.
Brush
your hair the right way
The drier your hair, the
easier it breaks, the quicker it gets frizzy, so too much brushing (especially
harsh and violent brushing) won’t make the frizz go away, it will only make it
worse. Avoid brushing your hair when it’s wet, as your hair is more fragile
when it’s damp. Also, if you want to know how to get rid of frizzy hair, don’t
use harsh movements when towel-drying your locks to avoid breakage.
8.
Coconut
oil
Treating frizzy hair
with coconut oil will help calm things down. Massage slightly warmed up coconut
oil into your hair and scalp. Leave on for about 20-40 minutes (the warm oil
will penetrate the scalp and pores, leaving your hair beautifully conditioned);
then shampoo and condition.
Another way to use
coconut oil to get rid of frizzy hair is to add one teaspoon of coconut oil
into your usual shampoo; just mix your usual dose of shampoo with one teaspoon
of coconut oil in the palm of your hand (if you have thin hair, use less
oil) and wash your hair with it; you’ll see an amazing difference: your
hair will be nourished, moisturized, fuzz free and shiny. Try it!
If you have coarse,
thick, wavy hair, take a pea-sized drop of coconut oil (or you can also use
avocado oil or macadamia nut oil), rub it between your hands and work it
through your hair thoroughly, concentrating on the middle length and on the
ends (don’t bring the oil near the roots of your hair, because we use it as a
leave-in conditioner in this case). This quick tip can easily help you get rid
of hair frizz and all the ‘goodness’ of natural oils will nourish your locks,
help fight split ends, add shine and gloss.
9.
Protect
your hair
Another simple tip on
how to get rid of frizzy hair is to keep your locks protected with a hat when
you go out in extreme weather conditions. Both sunlight and very cold weather
will make your hair frizzy.

How to get rid of frizzy hair? Ponytail can help!
And finally, if you are
in a hurry and you don’t have time for all the sophisticated and time-consuming
treatments, just braid your hair or do a ponytail. These simple hairstyles take
only a couple of minutes to make and will camouflage the frizz easily and
quickly.
Sometimes, it’s the very
things that you are doing to your hair to get of the frizz that are making it
worse! Some of the most common causes of frizzy hair are: shampooing too
frequently, hair products with harsh chemicals, brushing too harshly, blow
drying too long and excessive sun/wind exposure. Also trim your hair regularly
(every 4-5 weeks) to keep your locks looking healthy, beautiful and frizz-free.
