Moisturize

Your fluffy hair may not look dry or feel coarse but still continue to pouf up rather than fall down, heavy and shiny like you want it to be. Puzzling, isn’t it? No need to worry – a few moisturizing products will help smooth the cuticles of your hair shaft, leaving your hair much shinier and less prone to fluffing than before. Use a rich, moisturizing conditioner to help you ward away fluff , tame those rebellious frizzies with a few spritzes of your leave in conditioner and don’t forget to use a pack/treatment here and there just to make sure your hair keeps its moisture.

UPD:

Fluffy hair can be a source of frustration for many women, as it can be difficult to style and make look sleek and shiny. To help combat this issue, here are seven tips for dealing with fluffy hair.

  1. Moisturize: Moisturizing products can help smooth the cuticles of the hair shaft, leaving it much shinier and less prone to fluffing. Use a rich, moisturizing conditioner to help ward away fluff, and use a leave-in conditioner to tame rebellious frizzies. Additionally, use a hair mask or treatment every few weeks to make sure your hair is getting the moisture it needs.

  2. Use a blow dryer: Using a blow dryer with a nozzle attachment can help reduce the amount of fluffiness in your hair. Point the nozzle downwards and blow dry your hair in sections. This will help smooth out the cuticles of your hair and reduce the amount of fluffiness.

Invest in Some Good Styling Products

Styling gels, pastes, waxes and pomades are all valid hair smoothing techniques to consider and which one of them will work best for you depends on your hair alone. Choose a non sticky product that will help you mould your hairstyle exactly the way you want it, yet allow it to keep its natural feel and bounciness.

If you have seriously fluffy hair, investing in some good styling products is an important step to take. Styling gels, pastes, waxes, and pomades are all valid options to consider. The best one for you will depend on your hair type. It's important to choose a product that won't make your hair sticky, as this will help you mould your hairstyle while still allowing it to keep its natural feel and bounciness.

Using a brush or comb to detangle your hair before you apply any product can also help to reduce frizz and make your hair more manageable. You can also use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment to help reduce frizz and add volume. When using a blow dryer, make sure you use the cool setting to avoid damaging your hair.

If you're looking for a more natural solution, you can also try using a leave-in conditioner or a deep conditioning mask. These will help to moisturize your hair and keep it looking and feeling healthy.

Finally, if you're looking for a more long-term solution, you can consider getting a keratin treatment or a Brazilian blowout. These treatments can help to reduce frizz and add shine to your hair.

Blow Dry It Right

In case you prefer your hair straight and have no love for its natural texture, one of the best ways of controlling fluffy hair would be to learn how to blow dry it properly. Use a flat brush or a big rounded one (the bigger the brush the flatter the hair is) to dry your hair straight before it poufs up and it will be silky smooth and straight until the next wash! Blow dry sections one by one directing the air downwards to help smooth hair cuticles and reduce frizz, fluff and unwanted volume.

Pick the Right Cut

Thick voluminous hair is truly a blessing but opt for a wrong cut and it will turn into your worst nightmare. Some say the best hair smoothing technique is to let it grow long, pointing out that such length comes with a weight to match and I definitely agree – the longer and therefore heavier your hair is the less likely it is to fluff up. There is a catch, though… Unless you have the word “Mattel” stamped on your tush and further research reveals you’re also lacking a small turn knob at the nape of your neck, you will discover that doubling your hair’s length overnight isn’t such an easy task. The solution? Visit a stylist who can thin your fluffy hair and cut a style that fluffs in right places only.

5

Style Your Curls

If your curly fluffy hair is what’s giving troubles and straightening is the last thing on your mind, I suggest opting for one of many heatless ways to define your curls. Use flexirods and try twists or braids to find a curling technique that defines your curls best and you might even realize that trying to get rid of all that volume was quite silly of you!

Try a Few New Products

From volume mousses to volume-enhancing shampoos and conditioners, it seems like the companies are more interested in helping those who lack volume while completely ignoring the fact that some ladies have a completely different problem. Well, you’ll be interested to know that there are products out there designed to help you reduce hair volume! Try Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Balm, Aveda Smoothing Fluid or experiment with a few natural hair smoothing solutions such as hair oils, honey and even peanut butter.

Consider Volume Reduction Treatments

In-salon treatments such as blow-outs and keratin treatments could help you turn your fluffy hair into silky-smooth mane you’ll be proud of. I’ve researched a bit on keratin as well and do believe it can do wonders even for damaged hair although I must warn you that not all keratin packs are as harmless as they say. Some even contain chemicals that are toxic and shouldn’t be inhaled but you’ll be happy to know that this innovative process is being perfected as we speak, promising to give you better results with the least amount of health risks.

How do you deal with your fluffy hair and are there any other hair smoothing techniques you can suggest? Do you tie your hair before sleep? I’ve heard that helps reduce fluff although you must tie it loosely to prevent creases and weird twists.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I have never been able to find a gel that works and is nit sticky. If it's not sticky, it doesn't work. But I hate the sticky feel. I need some suggestions. I've tried so many different products.

Cowboy Magic. Nuff said.

When my hair is wet, I rub in some Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum, that helps smooth out some of the fluff...and if I want to keep the curl, I then add some Paul Mitchell Round About gel..and by some, I mean a dime sized dollop of the first, and 2 dime sized dollops of the second...my hair is THAT hard to tame! But it works!! And I LOVE it! It doesnt make my hair crunchy or gooey, and it will last for 2 days..the second day I just spritz a little water on my hair to freshen the curls a little, and maybe rub a tad more Round About in and go! I have tried so many different products, and I swear by these 2!! (I also currently use Rusk Keratin shampoo & conditioner..I found them on Ebay for a decent price, and so far I am seeing enough improvement that I would actually continue with them.)

my hair is naturally poofy and frizzy, and i have to wet it with water everyday in the shower and pin it up/ tie it up because if i comb it while its dry, then a) it'll take literally a full hour and more and b)it'll literally look like i have a cloud on my head. Any tips for that? i tried some of these, and i had very little success, even though ive been trying them for some time now. thanks! :)
