Frizzy hair is dry hair that has been damaged. Because it lacks moisture, the hair is often brittle and breaks easily, leaving you with short broken strands that are difficult to style. People with wavy or curly hair are prone to frizzy hair, suggest the writers at FrizzyHair.net. The dryness that is associated with curly is due to the shape of the hair. "Curly Hairstyle Magazine" says that the hair naturally sits away from the scalp--so the scalp's natural moisturising oils and sebum do not moisture the hairshaft.

Avoid Hairspray

Avoid hairs sprays when styling.The spray contains alcohol which swells the hair cuticle and causes "poofiness." Use hot oil treatments as an alternative. "Allure" experts recommend jojoba oil, but olive, almond, jasmine, rosemary, sage or other natural oils can be used as well.

Towel Blot Your Hair

According to the beauty experts of "Allure Magazine," there are natural, cost-saving ways to control frizzy hair. Changing your style methods and procedures will help to control the frizzy fried frayed ends that are destroying your hairstyle. When towel drying your hair, blot the hair. This technique causes less friction and damage. Rubbing the hair with a towel breaks the hairs and leaves you with fly-away hairs.

Eat a Well-Balanced Diet

Eating a well-balanced diet provides your body with the necessary nutrients and vitamins to function optimally, even maintaining healthy hair. Without the proper nourishment, your hair becomes dry, brittle and ultimately frizzy.

Avoid Coffee and Alcohol

To help control frizz, reduce your coffee or alcohol consumption, says "Curly Hair Magazine." These substances are diuretics, which cause your body to lose fluid and lessen the amount of moisture available for the hair.

Try Up-Dos

Opt to wear your hair in a tight bun rather than a ponytail. This style tucks away the fly-away hairs.
