FRIZZ FIGHTERS

Your frizz fighting starts in the shower. Dry and damaged hair is one of the main causes of frizz (the other is humidity), so reach for a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to deeply moisturise strands and smooth the cuticle. Look for sulphate-free formulas to protect colour, and if you have fine hair, avoid applying conditioner on the roots and focus instead on mid-lengths and ends.

Those with thicker or chemically processed hair, or especially brittle and delicate strands, might want to consider a weekly mask. Not only do they lock in moisture and repair the hair fibre, they also help make strands more supple and manageable, to minimise the risk of breakage.

Styling products with alcohol will only dry hair out further, so look for gels, serums and oils, infused with nourishing ingredients. Apply them pre-styling to add moisture and improve manageability and sleekness, or post-styling to tamp down flyaways, lock in smoothness and add lustre.

If frizz is a concern and your constantly turning to heated tools to keep it sleek, then what’s not to love about a spray that helps keep your frizz under control and your style straight until your next wash. It’s like a DIY mini keratin treatment.
