Article: Frizz is often caused by dryness, so it's important to restore moisture to your hair in the shower. Always use a sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates are detergents that are great at cleaning hair, but can also strip your hair of the natural moisture it needs to remain frizz-free. If your hair is dry, sulfate in your shampoo may be the culprit. Don't wash your hair every day. Wash your hair every other day, or only a couple times a week if you can get away with it. Even sulfate-free shampoos can be drying, so give your hair a rest and let it soak in your natural oils. Anything that removes dirt and grime from your hair is probably also removing its moisture, so use sparingly! Using dry shampoo between washes is a great way to keep your hair looking fresh without the damage of daily shampooing. Unlike shampoo, conditioner is moisturizing and will help tame your locks. Look for conditioners that are specifically marketed as moisturizing, especially those that contain glycerin. On days when you are skipping the shampoo, you can still use conditioner without worrying about damage. It will gently clean your hair, but also hydrate it. If you have the time, let the conditioner sit on your hair for a couple minutes so it fully soaks into the shaft. Choose a conditioner tailored for your hair type. If your hair tends to be oily and limp, avoid conditioners that boast qualities like "moisturizing" or "hydrating," because these will only exacerbate the oiliness and limpness. Shampoos with added protein tend to work well for oily hair, as well as conditioners meant for "volumizing," balancing," and "strengthening." If your hair is extremely oily, you may want to skip conditioner all together, or apply it before shampooing. If your hair is dry, damaged, and prone to break, look for moisturizing conditioners. You may want to also try conditioners that specifically repair hair after damage. Avoid conditioners that are described as "strengthening" or "volumizing." If you are worried about your hair looking limp and flat, avoid your roots and only apply it to the ends of your hair. By soaking your hair in a deep conditioner or oil overnight, you give it extra time to take in all the moisture. This may be especially helpful for African American and Latina hair that may be more coarse and dry, but it can benefit anyone who needs the extra moisture. Comb the product through dry or wet hair and then put on a shower cap before bed. There are a lot of ways to give your hair a boost of moisture, such as doing a weekly hair mask. You can buy moisturizing hair masks from the drugstore or spend a little more on a product from a salon. Again, look for one that contains glycerin, which will hydrate the hair shaft from the inside. You can also skip the store and make your own hair mask at home. Coconut oil is a perfect one-ingredient moisturizer. Eggs, milk, and honey also have nourishing, restorative properties.
