There are days when you want everything in your look to be on-point, and keep no exceptions. But sadly, not every day is a good hair day. You go out all glammed up, and suddenly your hair gets a frizz attack in the middle of the day. No matter what you do, these strands just don’t get tamed.
But how does frizz occur?
According to research, the hair cuticle is made of tiny shingles that resemble fish scales. A healthy, hydrated, and damage-free cuticle has its scales laid down smooth. A damaged hair cuticle, on the other hand, has its shingles rough and prickly like a pine cone, which disfigures the hair shaft, and causes frizz and brittleness.
But why does this frizz occur anyway? We’ve piled up some possible reasons for frizz and dryness for you to know where the problem lies and what the ideal solution is.
Reasons for Hair Frizz
Hot Showers
One of the reasons your hair feels dried out and frizzy is hot showers. The steam in the shower causes your hair cuticles to open up, and since these cuticles don’t get a chance to seal themselves, they remain open, which leads to consequent loss of moisture from the hair and frizz.
Weather
Weather plays a big, big role in deciding your hair look for the day. While a humid day can cause your hair to swell up and become a frizz ball, a dry, cold morning will suck out the moisture of your hair.
Heat Styling
Do you think your hair really stands a chance of retaining moisture after a wash, a blowdry and a flat press between two hot plates at 400°F? Not only will this dry out all of the moisture into your hair, it will leave your hair roasted. Follow this for a few days regularly and there will be nothing left of your hair.
Overwashing
Nothing compares the blissful feeling of shampooing everyday! The feeling of clean, fresh hair with a sweet fragrance is enough to cheer up your mood for the day. But little does this feeling benefit our beautiful hair in the longer run. Washing your hair everyday disturbs the balance of natural oils, and makes your hair dry and brittle with every wash.
Towel-Drying
On days when we are in a hurry, we love to take the towel and rub our hair like it was the last wash of our lives. This sure helps in drying our hair fast - out of moisture! Towel-drying your hair causes friction, and lets the frizz sweep in.
Using Harsh Products
Not every product is a friend to your hair. Many products that are formulated to cleanse off dirt and sebum contain sulfates, parabens, and other harsh ingredients. While such products work well on oil buildup, they rip off the natural oils as well, leaving your hair dry, dehydrated, and straw-like on touch.
Genetics
Even if your hair care game is up to the mark, there’s still a chance that you have frizzy hair. Genetics! Many people have naturally curly hair with a little dryness. Since the natural oils produced at the roots cannot travel all the way to the ends due to coils in the hair, the hair tends to get naturally frizzy.
To deal with the issues of frizz, dryness and damage, many people look for ways and hacks to reduce the hassle of styling everyday. One of them is a hair taming treatment, which tames your hair, making it smoother, and more manageable for up to several months. This treatment is formulated with Keratin as the chief ingredient.
What is Keratin?
Several parts of our body, including our skin, hair, nails, and internal organs contain keratin. Keratin is a kind of protein, and makes up 95% of our hair. Keratin is accepted by all kinds of hair, since it replenishes the hair and maintains its natural health. Therefore, a keratin treatment works on every hair type, leaving it super shiny, soft, and manageable.
