Chapter “frizz”: Say goodbye to frizzy hair!

Almost all of us have battled frizz at least once in our lives. Especially during winter when the weather is cold and rainy, with the levels of humidity reaching their peak. It is true that frizz does not discriminate, thus if you have never dealt with frizzy hair before, then you are lucky enough. If the right conditions arise, it undoubtedly affects all hair types (e.g. dry, oily, brittle, etc.). So, which are the main factors that cause frizz?

Humidity: One of the main causes is environmental, the “so-called” humidity. Hair tends to absorb environmental moisture to stay hydrated. This means that the drier or dehydrated the hair is, the more moisture it absorbs, and consequently, the greater the challenge to overcome.

Excessively hot water: Bathing with extremely hot water -in addition to irritating and dehydrating the skin- contributes to frizz, as it strips hair of the natural oil and moisture.

Heat styling: Frequent blow-drying with heat appliances contributes to frizz, as hot air dehydrates hair.

To sum up, environmental conditions or grooming habits that “threaten” hair with dryness or dehydration, thus reducing normal moisture and hydration levels, “pave the way” for frizz.

Say goodbye to frizzy hair

Having explained the specific conditions that cause frizz, we can easily conclude that it can be combatted by following a few simple and easy steps:

Take proper care: Proper care and hydration is the be-all and end-all in the fight against frizz. Avoid washing your hair more than three times a week and opt for SLES, SLS and SULFATES free products, such as MACROVITA Daily Care Shampoo with red grape & olive oil. Cleanses gently and efficiently without irritating the skin and helps to preserve natural moisture and elasticity. After each shampooing, we use MACROVITA Hair Conditioner-Milk for frequent use with red grape & avocado oil, which provides deep hydration and shine. Eliminates static electricity, untangles hair, and makes it soft and easy to comb without being lank.

Use the right styling products: If your hair is prone to frizz, then it is essential to invest in a specialized product that will offer the perfect styling while also fighting frizz. Choose MACROVITA Hair Forming Cream with red grape & aloe vera. Offers strong and long-lasting styling on straight, curly, or wavy hair. Anti-frizz and UV protecting, smoothes out without weighing hair down, offering silky softness and shine. It can be applied to both dry or damp hair, throughout the length and at the ends. Tip: For perfect straightening, after applying the cream, continue forming using a dryer. To shape curls, allow them to dry naturally.

Avoid using heating tools daily: To make it clear; we do not claim that you should not use styling devices at all, yet it is important to limit their usage as much as possible. As we have already mentioned, excessive and frequent exposure to heat dries hair, thus whenever it is possible, prefer to let it dry naturally.

Invest in silk pillowcases: Rubbing is another major factor that makes hair frizzy. Silk pillowcases, unlike cotton ones, do not crease hair. In addition, this kind of fabric reduces the possibility of sweating, hence keeping the scalp clean and cool.
