Pro Tips: Avoid Frizzy Hair in the Morning
Waking up with frizzy hair could be a real bummer—especially when you have a busy day ahead, and here is how to solve it
Hair type hardly matters when you are dealing with frizz. For certain hair types, the frizz could be worse. Damaged, dehydrated and chemically-treated hair is more prone to frizz and swelling. Often extremes in weather—humidity or hot, could be a trigger. While frizz in itself is not a pressing issue which needs to be “fixed,” you could try a couple of remedies to deal with it.
If you are not up for frizz and flyaways, and are in keen search of super-easy hacks to smooth out your hair, here are a few convenient steps to follow:
Try a Pillowcase of Soft Texture
If you are sleeping on coarse and rough surfaces, the friction might be causing the dry and frizz. The commonly used materials, including cotton, tend to be abrasive which causes friction between the hair strands and the cloth. Throughout the night, this process strips away natural oils from the hair and scalp leading to lacklustre and dryness.Using a soft material—silk or satin, could prevent the torture for these alternatives would let the hair strands simply glide over instead of causing wear and tear.
Comb Before Going to Sleep
Brushing hair before hitting the bed helps ward off the friction that messes up the hair. Slowly detangling also distributes the natural oils and does an astounding job of keeping the hair shiny and soft in the morning. It is equally important to opt for a soft bristle, instead of a stiffer one, for the optimum effect.Apply a Lightweight Oil
Oil or massaging a light serum before calling it a day could tame the frizz and provide some uniformity to your hair. It also works on brittleness and blandness. While choosing the oil, be sure to pick a light and non-greasy type. This means staying away from the household favourites coconut oil and olive and swearing by an oil or serum rich in Vitamin E, squalene and fatty acids for nourishment and growth.Avoid Washing Hair with Hot Water
Early morning hot water bath might be too alluring to resist but is a major culprit behind all the hassle. It renders the scalp lacking in moisture and hair deprived of natural oils. In the process, you end up accumulating all the dull frizz.Softly tying the hair—in a loose bun or French braids, could be effective to maintain the look and texture when you wake up.
