Frizzy hair when curly is the best asset one can have.

Curly hair is fun and one can do a lot of experimentation too. Instead of fretting over why you have been cursed with frizzy hair, use these tips to turn them to curly beautiful hair.

Bad Suggestion: Instead of washing your hair vigorously under the shower, try using a comb to take off the conditioner. Letting the conditioner run through your hair and your hair will be conditioned till the ends.

Correct Suggestion: This is a strange recommendation. The new hair growth is at the scalp so why apply conditioner there first? Instead apply your conditioner starting at the ends and adding more as needed until you have covered the new growth. Conditioners only hold ON the hair shaft for 2 to 3 hours because they can not penetrate the cortex layer of the hair shaft but only fill in where there are pockets in the cuticle due to wear and tear. To lock in your conditioner from shampoo to shampoo simply add a quarter size or more of Moisture Block to the conditioner while it’s in your palms. Apply from ends up and quick rinse. I have clients that have been using this technique and added product; the results over time have been amazing.

Bad Suggestion: Shampooing your hair everyday is not a great idea. That will make the hair dry and frizzy. Washing your hair once or twice a week is good enough.

Correct Suggestion: That advice is only for women that do not know that all products are water soluble and breakdown after a few hours. They are not aware that there is a product that is shampoo soluble and will protect the hair from shampoo to shampoo without frizz, Moisture Block. Going longer between shampoos only creates pollutant build up leaving the hair dull and dry. Shampoo is designed to remove debris from the hair shaft but conditioners with Moisture Block add shine and protection.

Somewhat misleading suggestion: Never comb your hair when it is dry. Using a plastic comb is even worse. Frizzy hair is very sensitive and must not be touched always. Combing frizzy hair when it is wet will save a lot of damage like split ends and broken hair.

Better Suggestion: Regardless of whether you use a comb or brush is not the problem. The problem lies with friction. Friction is the biggest cause of hair breakage.  I agree that combing when hair is wet rather than dry is a good idea. The hair has more slip especially when Moisture Block is applied to the hair when wet and dry. MB creates a glide to the hair shaft eliminating friction and tangles.Split ends are not caused by friction; they are created because the ends have been on the head the longest and subject to abuse, weather changes and more. Getting your hair cut regularly at least every 2 months will eliminate split ends. If you have frizzy hair, flat iron and then cut.

Bad Suggestion: Oil your hair twice or thrice a week. A simple warm oil massage followed by a hair wash after an hour will improve your hair texture. Using a shampoo and a conditioner for dry hair are the best options. Never ever apply oil on your hair and wash it with water. That is the perfect recipe for a bad hair day.

Correct Suggestion: Oils breakdown after a few hours because they become rancid and can easily dilute or dry out leaving hair dull and subject to bacteria. Warm oil treatments do not make the oil penetrate or last longer. Then shampooing after the treatment is counter productive. Not washing with water? Whoa, what a clogged up breeding ground for bacteria. 100% cosmetic silicones with no additives are only found in Moisture Block. They last from shampoo to shampoo and out perform oils.

Bad Suggestion: Getting a deep conditioning and hair spa will help you treat that frizz and bring out the curly hair that was hiding underneath. A good haircut following that also helps reduce the anxiety to a great extent.

Correct Suggestion: I have been a hair designer for 35 years and always found that deep conditioning treatments are a rip off. It doesn’t matter how intense the conditioner or how much heat, conditioners do not penetrate any deeper than the cuticle and still breakdown after a few ours. Adding Moisture Block to the conditioner, as suggested, holds the moisture content and conditioner on the hair until the next shampoo without causing build up.

Such Silliness: It is always important to love what you have. Once you start loving your hair, you will start seeing positive changes in your hair quality. After all, only if you love your hair will you be able to make it better.

Reality: Life is not a fairy tale, life is real, hair is dead and emotions can not make your hair better. Taking action and learning the realities of what hair and hair products can and can’t do. Stress from daily living affects our bodies and wear and tear on our hair. Be real about your options and take the time to go to www.gotfrizz.com, watch the videos and read the posts.
