Anti-Frizz

How to tame frizzy hair

Taming frizzy hair starts with keeping it hydrated and protected. Frizz happens when your hair lacks moisture, which causes the cuticle to lift and attract humidity. You can smooth and control frizz by building a daily routine with frizz-fighting hair products.

Start with a smoothing shampoo and conditioner. These hydrate your hair and help reduce frizz from the first wash. Next, apply an anti-humidity hairspray before blow-drying or letting your hair air dry. This adds a protective layer that blocks out moisture and stops frizz from setting in.

Once or twice a week, treat your hair to a nourishing hair mask, hair serum or hair oil. Argan oil and coconut oil are favourites because they smooth and strengthen from root to tip. Use a wooden wide-tooth comb to gently detangle and avoid static.

If you’re dealing with thinning hair, a hair growth shampoo can help round out your routine. The more consistent you are with the right frizz-fighting products, the easier your hair will be to style and maintain each day.

How do frizz-control hair products work?

Frizz-control haircare products smooth the hair cuticle and help it retain moisture. These beauties keep static and flyaways at bay and leave your locks silky, smooth and manageable for easy styling. They also nourish your hair and protect it against damage that can lead to dryness, brittleness, and, you guessed it, more frizz!

Can anti-frizz products help with humidity?

Yes, anti-frizz products can help with humidity by smoothing the hair cuticle and forming a protective layer that blocks excess moisture. Humid weather in Australia can make frizz control feel impossible, but the right routine can make it easier to manage.

Here are our top tips to help you achieve smooth, frizz-free hair:

1. Start with a shampoo and conditioner full of moisturising agents to treat dry and damaged hair. Try Matrix Total Results Moisture Me Rich Shampoo, NAK Hair Hydrate Shampoo or evo The Therapist Hydrating Shampoo.
2. Next, always apply a heat protectant before using any hairstyling tools, including hair curlers, hair straighteners, hot rollers and hot brushes. These products work like a shield between your hair and direct heat, which will greatly reduce drying and frizz. They can also protect against humidity and UV damage. Try evo Welder Heat Protection, Mermade Hair Mist or KMS ThermaShape Shaping Blow Dry.
3. Smoothing hair with high-humidity hair products is also an effective way to tame frizz. Look for leave-in conditioners, serums, masks and treatments made with nourishing oils to deeply revitalise hair and protect against humidity. Try O&M Frizzy Logic Serum with argan oil, coconut oil and macadamia oil for intense moisture, shine and softness.

How do I choose the right products for frizzy hair?

To choose the best anti-frizz hair products, think about your hair type, current condition and styling habits. Developing the right haircare routine will help fight off frizz and keep your hair healthy and manageable.

Parabens, silicones and sulphates can strip hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to breakage and unwanted frizz. You'll want to use a good sulphate-free and paraben-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain your hair's moisture and promote strength and elasticity.

Next, choose a heat-protectant product to shield your cuticles from heat damage, which can lead to frizziness and make your hair dry and unmanageable. Finish with a regular hair treatment that's rich in oils and high in vitamins and fatty acids.

This can include hair creams like L'Oreal Serie Expert Pro Keratin Liss Unlimited, a spray like De Lorenzo Elements Afterglow or an oil like Redken All-Soft Argan-6 Oil that's packed with omega-6 for intense rejuvenation and shine.

How to use anti-frizz hair products

You can use anti-frizz hair products in a few different ways, depending on your hair type and the product itself. From smoothing serums and oil mists to moisturising shampoos and conditioners, each one plays a role in managing frizz and improving shine.

Most treatments work best on clean, damp hair. After washing, apply your product evenly from root to tip and comb it through for full coverage. Some leave-in formulas are designed to stay in the hair, while others may need to be rinsed out, so always check the instructions on your Hairhouse product for best results.

You can also use some products on dry hair throughout the day. A small amount of serum or oil can help smooth flyaways or refresh your style between washes.

At Hairhouse, we stock plenty of hairstylist-approved must-haves from salon-loved brands, including cruelty-free and silicone-free options.
