Some of us are simply plagued by hair that seems to make you look like a victim of an electric chair. But, in any case, you don't have to straighten your hair every day for it to look neat. Make peace with unruly, stubborn hair by grooming your hair frequently and trimming the ends regularly.

Steps

  1. 1 Change the structure of your hair. Whether you are straightening your hair with chemicals or using hot tools, this procedure requires careful use of temperature control products or regular care products, but it is the fastest way to change coarse hair into manageable one.
  2. 2 Braid your hair. Coarse and wavy hair holds up very well in braids, so braiding is a good way to tame wild hair. Use a wide-toothed comb to part, detangle and braid your hair right after you shower and reduce frizz naturally. Braids will also tame dry hair, but if you later decide to loosen it, you will still have a lot of frizz.
  3. 3 Use organic shampoo. They do not stay on the hair and maintain natural softness.
  4. 4 Try washing without shampoo. It may be less damaging to your hair, making it more controllable.
  5. 5 Don't wash your hair every day. Let your natural oils work their way from scalp to hair ends. Natural oil helps smooth your hair and gives it shine. It's okay if you wash your hair once a week until the fat has completely covered your scalp.
  6. 6 Use hair oil. It is excellent for smoothing loose hair and moisturizing dry hair. Don't use too much - it should be completely absorbed after a few days.
  7. 7 Apply conditioner to your hair. If you have coarse hair, you may like a conditioner that squeezes your hair instead of tousling it. If your hair is more wavy or frizzy than coarse, waxy hair, the feeling of heaviness will not be good for you. Use a quarter of the minimum amount, or condition your hair with conditioner if you want to weigh it down more.
  8. 8 Use the mask weekly. Thick, coarse hair has a harder time getting oil and nutrients from the scalp, so the mask helps to restore and moisturize those parts of the hair that are lacking in natural elements.
    • Whether you use a store-bought mask or one made at home from natural ingredients, your hair will absorb the mask better when it is warm.
    • You can gently microwave the mask or apply the mask and do some exercise to raise your body temperature.
    • Wrap your hair in a plastic bag or put on a shower cap after heating the mask to keep it clean.
  9. 9 Trim the ends regularly, every four to six weeks. The tips of the hair are the driest part of the hair and are usually the most conducive to breakage and frizz. Trim your hair if you can.

Tips

  • Raw unprocessed coconut oil works wonders. It is not only suitable for heat treatment - you can also use it as a leave-in conditioner. After you wash your hair, let it dry by itself. Then take a pea-sized drop of coconut oil, rub it in your hands to melt it, and rub it well into your hair.
  • Change your brand of shampoo and conditioner periodically.Use a shampoo that contains vitamin E or acid for shine, or glycerin (in small amounts) as a conditioner.

Warnings

  • Do not brush through wet hair. They will start falling out.
  • Do not over-straighten or blow-dry your hair. You straighten them, they dry out, which makes them look even worse, and you want to straighten them again.
  • Cascading haircuts do not work well on hair that is too curly or coarse, so avoid these styles.
