The Best Home Treatments for Extremely Frizzy Hair

Frizzy hair can prove to be a real annoyance, especially if you are prone to the condition. People with curly hair may especially have a problem keeping the frizziness under control. There are several at-home methods you can use to get rid of your extremely frizzy hair. Keep in mind that some basic hair maintenance, like getting a trim every six to eight weeks, can also help control hair frizz.

Blow Dryer Nozzle

Most hair dryers come with a diffuser attachment. This is especially helpful to people with curly and frizzy hair. Attach the nozzle and blow dry your hair in a downward motion. Smooth out hair with a round brush constructed from boar bristles. Avoid blow drying every day since this can remove natural oils and lead to more frizz.

Don't Touch

Touching your hair and running your fingers through it can lead to frizz. It is especially important to avoid touching your mane until it has completely dried after you have showered.

Conditioner

Conditioning your hair after shampooing can go a long way toward getting rid of extremely frizzy hair at home. A cream conditioner should be used on a daily basis and a deep conditioner on a weekly basis. Redken produces a conditioner made specifically for frizzy hair called Smooth Down Anti-Frizz Conditioner.

Safflower Oil

You can use safflower oil to naturally get rid of frizzy hair. Use only a few drops and work the oil from the ends of your hair to the scalp. There is no need to rinse out the oil when using it to treat frizzy hair at home.

Anti-Frizz Serum

There are serums available at hair supply retailers that can get rid of frizz with just a few drops. Pour a small amount of the serum into your hands and work the product through your hair using your fingers. One example of this type of product is John Frieda Frizz Ease.
