If your hair is dry and frizzy, that's also a sign that it's been damaged by heat, inclement weather or harsh styling tools. "The World's Best-Kept Beauty Secrets" says that a few simple changes to your routine can restore your hair's health and beauty, leaving you with luxurious locks. Using inexpensive moisturizing treatments and changing up your hairbrush can go a long way to improving your hair's appearance.
Paddle Brush
Hair styling tools, particularly small brushes and fine-toothed combs, can break your hair. This damage can lead to frizz in some cases. If you suspect your styling equipment is causing issues, "The World's Best-Kept Beauty Secrets" suggests that you switch to an oversized paddle brush with natural or plastic bristles. Wide brushes better distribute the force as you pull them through your locks and soft bristles are less prone to damaging your hair.
Avocado Mask
Treating your hair with a homemade avocado mask once a week is an inexpensive way to battle dry, frizzy strands. "Organic Body Care Recipes" recommends an avocado-based mask because the natural oils in the fruit thoroughly moisturize sapped locks. It works particularly well for heat-damaged or chemically damaged hair. Simply mash half an avocado with a fork, then add buttermilk to it a teaspoon at a time until it creates a creamy paste. Spread the mask on your hair, cover it with a shower cap and let it soak in for about 30 minutes. Shampoo as usual to rinse away the mask.
Oil Conditioner
Making an oil conditioner once weekly is also an inexpensive way to treat frizzy hair. "Organic Body Care Recipes" says that this conditioner restores moisture, but won't weigh down fine or thin hair. Mix 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil with 20 drops of rosemary essential oil. Coat your hair in the oil mixture, then cover it with a shower cap and wait for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse the oil conditioner from your hair with shampoo.
