How To Have Healthy, Beautiful Hair Without Frizz

For many people, having curly hair is a real ordeal, since this type of hair is the one that presents the most frizz problems, although straight hair also usually has this drawback.

There are many products to treat your hair. However, it is also possible to turn to natural alternatives to improve this hair condition.

Read this article and discover how you can have beautiful and healthy hair with natural curls and, above all, without frizz or any type of damage. Do you dare to try some of the following natural products?

The banana: a great ally against frizz

One of the most effective home treatments to help reduce dry hair and, therefore, prevent frizz, is a banana-based mask. There are studies that confirm the beneficial properties of this fruit for skin and hair, among others.

To make it, we simply have to make a puree with several bananas and apply it evenly throughout the hair. We must let it act for half an hour to, finally, wash the hair as we do normally.

We can apply this mask two or three times a week. With the first treatment we will notice the difference, since the hair will be very soft and manageable. Remember that it is a natural procedure that has been used for years, but it may not always have the same effects on everyone.

Avocado with mayonnaise

Avocado is a natural product widely used in beauty products, as well as in natural hair and skin treatments. This 2012 publication by a professional from the University of Saint Petersburg raises some of these possible applications.

If we want to prepare this mask, popular recipes indicate that we must crush the avocado —which must be very ripe— and form a very smooth paste, to which we will add one or two tablespoons of mayonnaise, which is indicated as a possible moisturizer in the same publication cited.

Once this is done, we will apply it to all the hair and let it act for fifteen to twenty minutes. Finally, we will wash very well.

Apple vinager

Every time we wash our hair, we can give it a final rinse using a mixture of half a liter of water and three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. It is a product that, according to studies, has positive effects to treat skin problems, dandruff and to exfoliate dead cells. 

This mixture can be useful if we want to reduce frizz and make our hair look shinier and healthier. Consult with your trusted dermatologist if you plan to use it regularly.

Coconut oil

In the latter case, we will appeal to coconut oil, also confirmed by academic publications as an effective natural product for hair care. We must apply the warm coconut oil all over the hair. Next, we will wrap our hair with a damp towel, in warm to hot water.

The goal is to maintain a stable temperature and allow the oil to penetrate. We can let it act for 20 minutes.

Popular beliefs suggest doing this treatment twice a week, in order to keep hair very well hydrated, which can prevent frizz. However, the most appropriate thing is that you consult a professional about it.

Keys to keep in mind

Apart from the natural remedies that we have shown you, it is always necessary to prevent any possible problem in our hair before having to treat it.

Hair requires constant care. It will depend on whether we can keep it healthy or not. If we want to achieve this, it is necessary to take into account a series of keys :

Use the braces for your hair correctly

• Avoid using the hair dryer as much as possible, as it dries the hair too much (and, in turn, this is one of the main causes of frizz).
• We can use the iron to eliminate frizz, as long as we apply an excellent quality moisturizer, preferably natural. Consult with a hairdresser about the best alternatives in this regard.

Use high-quality products

• We must avoid all those products that leave hair heavy or too greasy, such as some styling creams found in stores. In any case, it is better to choose the highest quality or opt directly for natural moisturizing products.

• The brush must be made of soft natural bristles, metallic and plastic ones must be avoided at all costs.

Wash and cut your hair properly

• We should wash the hair preferably with cold water, or slightly warm. Too hot water dries out hair and weakens it, making it brittle and increasing frizz.
• Curly-haired people should trim the ends regularly and use a good moisturizer when their hair is wet, to help detangle it more easily.

If you take these keys into account and also use some of the natural treatments that we have proposed, of course following the instructions of your trusted hairdresser, you will be able to show off healthy hair without frizz. Do you dare to try them?
