Part 1 of 3: Everyday hair care in a humid environment

1. Shampoo your hair every other day at most. Shampoo is great for removing dirt and grease from your hair, but it's not great for controlling frizz. That's because shampoo also strips your hair of the natural fats, which normally keeps your hair smooth and does not frizz.
   • Some people even shampoo their hair once a week. How often you do it is up to you, but it is better to leave a few days in between so that your hair becomes healthier and less frizzy.
2. Rinse your hair with cool water if you used conditioner after shampooing. It's not yet fully understood how effective it is, but the idea is simple: Cold water closes the hair cuticles, leaving your hair smooth and shiny. However, there are scientists who question the effectiveness of cold water on the head, saying that hair cuticles are not living cells, which prevents them from contracting. But despite the difference of opinion, receive By this advice you won't get frizzy hair anyway, so try it yourself to see if it works.
   • As discussed below, there are also special leave-in conditioners that can help with frizzy hair.
3. Choose a shampoo designed to combat frizz. There is a special shampoo for every hair type. You will even see bottles on the drugstore's shelves that indicate that they combat frizz. Otherwise, see if you see the words "moisturizing" or "smoothing" on the bottles of your favorite brand.
4. Choose the right conditioner. Whether you buy regular conditioner or leave-in conditioner depends on what in it sits. If you're looking for a conditioner, get one with one or both of the following ingredients: "amino silicones" and "cationic surfactants". These two ingredients help combat the two main causes of frizz: damage to the hair shaft and static electricity.
   • Amino silicones ensure that the silicone in the conditioner can adhere better to the damaged hair shaft, giving you long-lasting care.
   • Cationic surfactants reduce frizz caused by static electricity by being positively charged.
5. Use a smoothing product. Smoothing serums coat the hair shaft, reducing frizz just like conditioners. However, some of these products weigh down your hair too much. Use them sparingly until you know exactly how much you need to control your hair.
6. Use other fatty foods, such as mayonnaise or avocado. Fatty foods like mayonnaise or mashed avocado are another way to strengthen your hair and prevent frizz. Mix a tablespoon of mayonnaise with some conditioner if you want to try it; or mash an avocado, just like when making guacamole, put it in your hair, cover for 10 minutes, then wash with warm water until your hair is smooth.

Tips

• Always keep hairspray on hand. Spray a little bit on a comb or brush, then comb your hair with it if it is very frizzy.
