A hair consists of the hair bark or cortex surrounded by a protective layer of hair scales or cuticle. The hair scales are overlapping each other. Your hair looks smooth when the microscopic hair cuticles lie flat on the hair bark. High humidity, dry hair, friction and damage caused by chemicals, and styling your hair can all cause the hair cuticles to open and become damaged, causing frizz. You can make your hair less frizzy by treating it appropriately before, during and after you shower, even when the weather is very humid and hot.

Method 1 of 3: Get rid of habits that make hair frizzy

1. Let your hair air dry instead of using a hair dryer. You can prevent your hair from getting frizzy by letting it air dry. Friction and heat are two major causes of frizz, so not drying your hair with a hairdryer and towel can help prevent frizz.
   • To make sure the hair cuticles dry flat, create a loose bun or braid in your drying hair. The tufts remain flat in this way and cannot rise and fluff during drying.
2. Wash your hair less often. It is possible to reduce frizz by washing your hair less often. Washing your hair often removes the natural oils, which can cause frizz. Fine hair only needs shampooing every other day and thicker hair only about once every three days.
   • You may need to wash your hair more often if you have oily hair or sweat daily from intense work or sports. Use conditioner on the days when you don't use shampoo to remove sweat and grease and to easily style your hair.
3. Don't touch your hair during your day. The more often you touch your hair during your day, the more friction is created. This can tangle your cuticles and cause frizz. Try not to touch your hair during your day and try not to put it back in a ponytail and unravel it.
4. Treat your hair with chemicals less often. Dyeing, perming, and relaxing your hair can drastically change the texture of your hair, which can cause frizz that never bothered you before.Less chemical treatments per year to help prevent frizz.
   • Consider using special powder to touch up your hair in between dyeing treatments and choosing styles that blend well with your hair's natural texture instead of chemically treating your hair.

Method 2 of 3: Experiment with anti-fluff agents

1. Let cold air from the freezer blow onto your hair for a few minutes. Hair frizz from warm weather and styling with warm tools. To smooth your hair after styling it, stand in front of the freezer for a minute. The hair cuticles will cool and lie flat before you go outside, where your hair can be exposed to the sun and high humidity.
   • You can also set your hair dryer to the cold setting and blow the air on your hair to achieve the same effect.

Method 3 of 3: Using the right hair care products

1. Choose high-quality shampoos and conditioners. The sulfates in shampoo are very good at removing dirt and grease, but they also dry out your hair and can make it frizzy. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to help your hair dry out less and make it less frizzy.
2. Do not use hair care products with alcohol. Hair care products such as hairspray can dry out your hair. Before you buy a hair care product, check the label to see if it contains alcohol. Do not buy the product if you see in the list of ingredients that it contains alcohol.
   • Not all alcohols dry out your hair. Fatty alcohols such as lauryl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol and behenyl alcohol do not dry out your hair as much.
3. Use warm tools less often to style your hair. Tools that use heat, such as blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons, can damage your hair and cause frizz. Using these tools often can permanently damage your hair, so it's best to use them for special occasions only.
   • If you choose to blow-dry your hair, consider buying a diffuser so that your hair is less exposed to heat.
   • Wait until your hair is 90% air-dried if using a regular hair dryer. Then use the hair dryer to dry the last 10% of your hair. Your hair will be less damaged by the heat.
   • If you are using warm aids, it is also a good idea to use a special spray that protects your hair cuticles from the heat and moisturizes your hair. There are many products for sale that provide a protective layer around your hair cuticles so that they are less likely to be damaged by the heat to which they are exposed.
4. Apply hair styling products right after showering. By using hair styling products immediately after showering, your hair will stay better hydrated. Make sure to wring your hair out first or the products won't get into your hair. Look for products that contain polymers and silicones as they help protect your hair from high humidity.
   • If you have fine, wavy hair, try using mousse. Mousse won't make your hair look that true. Try using gel and cream if you have thicker hair, as thicker curls can handle that better.
   • Make sure to apply the product of your choice especially to the ends if you have frizzy hair. Then apply the product to the bottom half of your hair. The ends dry out faster and applying the product to your scalp will only make your hair look greasy.
5. Ready.

Tips
