- Hey guys Kayley here, today I am tackling a very requested
topic, we're gonna talk about how to control fizz.
You guys have asked for this for a long time
and I don't think I've ever made a video on it.
So today I'm gonna tackle the basics.
A couple things you need to know to fight frizz
whether you have hair like mine or curly I got some
tips for you, so let's get in to it.
So frizzy hair can be caused by a variety of things,
it can be from dead ends, it can be porous hair,
it can be hair that's not moisturized enough
and it can be due to improper styling.
Dead ends is kind of obvious but dead ends
are literally frizz incarnate and it's living on your hair.
I know that gets annoying hearing hairstylists say
oh my gosh you need to cut your ends
and you're like you're just trying to get my money.
But no it really is that you have dead frizzy ends
living on your hair and the damage is traveling up.
So the longer you wait the worst
the frizz gets just cut it out.
And then you have porous hair to explain what that
is basically your hair has this cuticle layer
which lays like shingles and it protects the spongy
inside of your hair which is called the cortex.
Where all the moisture and proteins and good stuff lives.
When those cuticle layers start to lift,
things can get inside and damage the cortex or there
are things like chemical processing and heat styling
you can actually lose those shingles and just expose the
spongy heart of your hair and that creates a lot of frizz.
So obviously it can happen through chemical treatments,
through a lot of heat styling but for people with wavy
and curly hair, your cuticle structure is actually
all ready more open than most which means your hair
just comes pre-porous for you and it's all ready
a lot more thirsty than any other hair type.
So if you heat style, chemically treat or have wavy curly
hair you gonna wanna put a lot more moisture back
into your hair which leads to your hair lacking moisture.
Now typically when we talk about moisture,
we talk about water but what your hair
can often use when it's frizzy is more fat,
it needs lipids in it to help to moisturize it
but also to weigh down the frizz a little bit.
So we're gonna talk a lot about how to add oils
and lipids back into your hair today.
And finally you can be styling improperly and I'm gonna
talk about a couple little hair styling habits
that you can use to create more smooth, shiny hair.
So first of all let's talk about maintaining moisture
in your hair, first of all this is gonna
be a little bit of a waiting game.
You can start implementing these things and you'll see
a difference in the first couple of days to a week
but you're gonna see the most over several weeks.
So just keep that in mind.
First things first you could wash your hair less often
that's like a great thing because it's easier
but it also just gives your hair a chance to moisturize
itself, so shower less frequently.
Also when you do wash your hair you should shampoo
just the roots 'cause I'm assuming the frizz is mostly
from the middle to the ends of your hair.
You wan to get rid of any dirt, oil, sweat build up
on your scalp, obviously but you don't necessarily need
to run the shampoo over your ends.
You can actually let the shampoo cleanse your ends
as it runs out of your hair and that will keep
the moisture a lot more settled.
All right then we move on to conditioner which
is really like the key product if you have frizzy
or unruly hair it's what you need.
And that's a great way to get the oil and lipids
back into your hair, the best way to make sure that you do
that is first of all pick a very moisturizing conditioner.
You wanna pick one that really emphasizes that it's good
for coarse, frizzy, color treated hair, 'cause it's gonna
have those heavy moisturizing agents in it all ready.
So one or two brands actually that I would recommend
to look at is Shea Moisture, I love that when you turn
the bottle over the advertisement that's on the front
is on the back, sometimes if you look at something
like an argon oil conditoner and then you turn it over
argon oil is literally like the last ingredient.
Like they took their conditioner and put two drops
of argon oil in it now it's argon oil conditioner
don't fall for that, just turn it over look at the back
make sure the advertisement benefits are there.
And I also really love herbal essence, I recently got to go
see their labs and normally when I think of mass drugstore
hair care I'm like probably trash ingredients but they got
to show me a lot of the science behind what they do
and I get to see how rigorously they test
and I am a big fan now, so those two I really recommend.
Check out the range see if there's
something you'd like for your hair.
So let's talk about conditioners with Pipin,
look who is just all love today, just wants to be held.
So I think he might be hosting our video.
So the next thing I think is very important are hair oils
like a leave in oil because you guys know I love my leave
in conditioners but I think with that really frizzy hair
you want to take it to the next step.
You want to make it a little heavier,
so an oil is really good idea.
Shea Moisture has good hair oils, another one I love
is living proof nourishing oil, this one is so, so good.
And then obviously for my hair I love the restore
perfecting spray, this one's a lot lighter.
But I think it's really good, you could even hypothetically
have a leave in conditioner and an oil and you just
mix them together so you have that kind of hybrid
so it's not as heavy as just using an oil but it's a little
more than just using a leave in conditioner.
Either way I think you need to find your perfect little
I don't know weapon, your hair weapon against the frizz.
To help weigh it down even more.
And finally obviously I think it's really good to use
a deep conditioning treatment on your hair every one
and a half to two weeks, it's just really
gonna keep adding in the extra moisture
and Pippin is still wanting to be held.
And now let's move on to some good hair care habits
first of all I really recommend getting a satin
pillow case, it does not have to be like boogie real
satin it just has to be silky feeling.
Mine is like $15.00 from Sally's just get what works
for you but seriously it will change your life.
I don't wake up with bed hair anymore
because of it which is crazy, so I could only imagine
how much it will help someone with frizzy hair.
And then if you have wavy to curly hair,
you're probably all ready know this but only brush
your hair either while it's wet or if you're getting
ready to wash it, 'cause it's just gonna balloon out.
Not the best situation, if you do detangle your hair
while it's wet you wanna make sure that you're using
that detangling brush and then your conditioner
or leave in conditioner to kind of like lubricate
the hair so it detangles more easily.
Lubricate not a word I ever thought I would say
on my channel but it really does help.
Next another well known curly hair tip that's good
for everyone, don't use your typical like towel on your
hair to dry it, actually use like a microfiber towel
or a old t-shirt to kind of scrunch and dry your hair
because it causes less frizz on the hair.
I really love my turbi twist it works just as well
as throwing your towel on as a turban but it's lighter
so it causes less damage to the hair line.
Dries your hair faster, causes less frizz.
This is a new tip to me and I love it,
when you apply your leave in conditioner or your hair
oil rub it between your hands and then start on the ends
and then slowly work your way up.
Because that way the majority of your product is applied
to the ends and then less and less as you up which
is pretty much about as much as your hair needs.
You have the most need at the very ends and less and less
as you go up, so what causes less unnecessary
weigh down while still getting you all
the moisturizing benefits you need.
While we're on the whole leave in products thing
I actually really recommend applying it while your hair
is wet like not dripping wet but not damp either.
That way you're sealing in that moisture that's all ready
in your hair is sealing in the water and adding in more
fats, it's just a perfect combination if you do it then.
I would also recommend that if you have wavy or curly hair
and you're gonna air dry apply a product that's gonna
help to tame and control the frizz.
One that I really love and I've talked about
way too much at this point is Miss Jelly's Jelly Soft Curls,
Miss Jessie's I always say Miss Jelly's.
Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls this works so well
your hair doesn't feel like a gel at all,
it doesn't feel crunchy but it gives you so much definition
and so much taming I really, really love it.
So that's a good one if you're looking for one.
And I also recommend that if you're going to scrunch
something like this into your hair only do it while
your hair is very wet because when you start to scrunch
hair that is a little bit more on the damp side
when you scrunch and you pull your hand away
you're gonna see those little frizzes starting to come out.
So really try to like get it in there while your hair
is wet and then just don't touch it, let it be.
Like the Beatles song, Let It Be.
That is is Beatles right, let it be, let it be
let it be that is right, I really hope so.
And there you go that's an overview of how I would take
care of very frizzy hair, my hair is like on the scale
of frizz is probably on the less frizzy side.
But I do have the color treatment, so I do use a lot
of these tricks to keep my hair
as shiny and healthy as possible.
