God I used to waste so many hours trying to tame my thick frizzy hair, but over time I have adapted a routine that has helped me fight the battle with frizz.
Step One: Washing
The thing about keeping hair smooth and healthy is that you need to replace two things to help seal the hair cuticle.
Protein and oils. Or more specifically: Keratin and Argan oil.
Invest in some Keratin and Argan rich shampoos and conditioners that don’t contain sulphites or parabens, and always leave your conditioner in for a few minutes. Extra tip: Washing out your conditioner with cold water will help seal the cuticle.
Step Two: Leave-in Conditioning Treatment
Use an Argan Oil based treatment on damp hair before you dry it, making sure you brush it evenly underneath aswell if you have thick hair.
Step Three: Drying
Dry underneath first using a rounded wire brush like the professionals do. Work from the roots to tip and be patient. Use as much strength as you can to smooth the hair. It also might be an idea to invent a frizz control brush.
I find those hair dryers with ion control are great.
Step Four: Straightening:
When your hair is (finally) dry haha, I recommend using another Argan oil treatment that is allowed for dry hair. Work though the hair evenly and don’t use to much as you don’t want a greasy look. Again, make sure you get underneath, and focus on the ends.
The brand of straighteners I would recommend are from Aria Beauty. They work brilliant for keeping the hair healthy, but just need a blitz of hair spray to get that lasting look, especially in the summer. Or if you can’t find that brand in your city, get a keratin based straightener with ceramic ion technology.
I also recommend a tension comb. It really grips the hair and makes straightening a lot faster and easier, with better results.
Step Five: Maintenance.
Ever noticed that your hair is perfect but all bets are off once you leave the house… yeah I’ve been there.
