We've all had to deal with it at least once: frizz is the bane of every woman's existence. Summer or winter, they always appear at the worst possible moment. How do you put a stop to them once and for all? Here are a few tips and tricks.

A "frizz" (or "frizz" in the plural) refers to a rebellious strand of hair, often curly or wavy, that seems untamable and escapes from the rest of the hair. Frizz is generally shorter than other hair and can appear randomly, creating a messy or frothy texture in the hair. They are often caused by factors such as humidity, dryness, hair damage or the hair's natural structure. People with curly or wavy hair tend to be more prone to frizz, but frizz doesn't discriminate and can happen to other hair types (even straight hair). No one can escape it.

What can cause frizz in your hair?

Several factors can contribute to the appearance of frizz in hair:

Humidity: Hair is sensitive to humidity. When there is an increase in humidity in the air, hair tends to absorb this moisture, which can lead to frizz, especially in people with curly or wavy hair.

Dryness: Dry , dehydrated hair is more likely to develop frizz. Lack of moisture makes hair more porous, making it reactive to environmental humidity.

Hair damage: Frequent chemical treatments, such as coloring, bleaching and perming, as well as the intensive use of heated tools (straightening irons, hair dryers) can damage not only the scalp but also the hair cuticle, making it more prone to frizz.

Hair type: Fine curly or wavy hair has a natural tendency to frizz due to its spiral structure, which can make strands more likely to escape from the rest of the hair.

Unsuitable products: Certain hair care products containing aggressive ingredients or not adapted to your hair type can contribute to the appearance of frizz by ruining the health and beauty of your scalp, which is the foundation of healthy hair.

Improper hair handling: Excessive brushing, use of the wrong styling accessories or rough handling can cause frizz by damaging the hair cuticle.

Understanding these factors can help you choose the right products and adopt the right practices to control and minimize the appearance of frizz. The right hair routine, moisturizing products and gentle care can help keep flyaways under control.

What hair routine should you adopt to avoid frizz? Depending on your hair type

Curly or wavy hair:

1. Moisturizing shampoo: Use a sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo to keep curls hydrated.
2. Moisturizing conditioner or mask: Apply a moisturizing conditioner or mask to detangle and nourish curls.
3. Gentle spinning: Avoid vigorously rubbing your hair with the towel (this can also encourage static electricity). Instead, use a microfiber towel or dab gently to remove excess water.
4. Suitable styling products: Use curl-specific products such as styling creams or alcohol-free gels to define curls without weighing them down.
5. Diffusion or air-drying: Avoid direct use of the hair dryer wherever possible. If necessary, always use a diffuser to gently dry hair at low temperature.

Straight or fine hair:

1. Light shampoo: Opt for a light silicone-free shampoo to avoid weighing down fine hair.
2. Light conditioner: Use a light conditioner or a suitable conditioner to avoid weighing down fine hair.
3. Avoid products that are too rich: Limit the use of heavy styling products such as oils or thick creams, which can make fine hair look greasy. Instead, choose a smoothing product with a light, appropriate formulation.
4. Air-drying: If possible, let your hair air-dry to avoid frizz caused by the heat of the hair dryer.

Thick or frizzy hair:

1. Moisturizing and nourishing shampoo: Use a moisturizing and nourishing shampoo for thick or frizzy hair to maintain moisture. Make sure it contains as many natural ingredients as possible.
2. Masks and intensive care: Use nourishing masks regularly to keep hair hydrated and supple.
3. Oil-rich products: Use products containing natural oils such as coconut, argan or jojoba to seal in moisture, reduce frizz and boost shine.
4. Sectional styling: Divide your hair into sections (using a wide-tooth comb) to facilitate detangling and product application without neglecting specific areas during your care routine.

General advice :

• Avoid products containing alcohol: they can dry out hair and increase frizz.
• Thermal protection: Use a thermal protector before using heated tools to minimize heat damage.
• Regular moisturizing: Spray your hair regularly with water or a moisturizing spray to keep it hydrated. Also remember to nourish and moisturize your scalp with a growth or repair serum.

What hairstyle to adopt to camouflage (or even reduce) frizz?

Certain hairstyles can help minimize frizz. Here are just a few:

1. Smooth ponytail or chignon: Gather your hair into a low ponytail or tight chignon to smooth strands and minimize frizz.

2. Braids or plaiting: Well-made braids can keep your hair in place and reduce frizz by holding it in position.

3. Hairstyles with accessories: Use headbands, scarves or hats to keep your hair in place while minimizing frizz caused by friction.

4. Protective hairstyles: Protective hairstyles like twists, vanilles or African braids can help protect your hair from the elements and reduce frizz by keeping it tidy.

5. Styling with styling products: Use anti-frizz gels, mousses or styling creams to create more structured styles and minimize flyaways.

Choosing the right hairstyle depends on the texture and length of your hair, as well as your personal style. By experimenting with different hairstyles and techniques, you can find the one that works best for you to minimize frizz.
