1. Wash Sparingly
One of the first ways to fight frizzy hair is to look at how often you wash it. Washing your hair every day can strip it of its natural oils, causing it to frizz up. Wash your hair sparingly, allowing a few days in between washes, and if hair starts to feel too oily or greasy then use a dry shampoo to soak up any excess oils.
2. Dry with Care
The drying process can make all the difference when it comes to frizzy hair. Heavy-handed towel drying can roughen up hair cuticles, causing it to look frizzy. To prevent this from happening, don’t twist or rub your hair with a towel as this can lead to breakage and flyaways. Instead, blot and press your hair with a towel. Experts recommend using a super absorbent microfiber towel as it produces less friction.

3. Pick Your Products
When you’re washing your hair, the type of products you use can play a big part in fighting frizz. Use styling products that contain silicone as it can help tame frizzy hair. The thicker and coarser your hair, the more silicone a product will need. Also be sure to choose products that don’t contain alcohol (most hair sprays and mousses do), as they can cause hair cuticles to absorb moisture, leading to frizz.
4. Make It Ionic
The products and tools you use can also play a big part in tackling frizzy hair. Take your blow-dryer, for example. If you haven’t upgraded your blow-dryer in a while then maybe it’s time to do so. To help you in your fight against frizz, opt for an ionic blow-dryer. Ionic blow-dryers compress hair cuticles and lock out moisture, helping to prevent frizz.
5. Protect against Heat
Heat styling can damage hair, resulting in frizzy and frayed hair. To make sure that you protect your hair from excessive heat, apply a heat protecting serum or spray before you blow-dry or use heat styling tools on your hair.
6. Style It Right
There are plenty of styling products and tips and trick to help you in your fight against frizz. Sometimes it can be as simple as smoothing hair down with a frizz control serum or oil. The kind of hairdo you wear can also affect the frizz factor. For example, you’re less likely to experience flyaways when wrapping your hair into a low bun as opposed to a tight ponytail.
7. Weekly Treatment
Treat your hair once a week with a deep conditioning or oil treatment to help your hair stay looking at its best. Those with medium to thick hair should try a deep conditioning treatment. Those with finer hair are better off using hot oil treatments as these won’t weigh down your hair.
These are just a few things to help you in the fight against frizzy hair. A few adjustments here and there when you’re styling your hair can make all the difference. What are your best tips for fighting the frizz?

Cinthia: A make my own home made deep conditioner mask and it helps a lot with frizz! Also one factor that leads to frizziness(if that's a word) is dry hair! Look for shampoos that hydrate your hair! If you are looking to save some cash use herbal essences!
Paige: Thanks because my hair is super frizzy! I'm sure these will help!
stefanie: I have really long frizzy hair. To treat my hair from frizz, the night before a wash my hair, I do a coconut oil treatment. It works so well!! I really recommend it to anyone. The coconut oil really conditions your hair
Shannah: If you have frizzy hair, put some unscented lotion in your hair and run it through your hair. You don't want it to feel really greasy, but you want to make sure you have a thin layer on your hair. Do not wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner everyday if possible, this strips the hair of natural oils. Also, change your shampoo and conditioner products every six week, your hair does not absorb the nutrients as well. It's like doing the same workout everyday, all day- you adjust to it and it is no longer as effective.
