straight hair

So you’ve read our previous blog, and you’ve identified your hair as Type 1 hair. With the right knowledge and a tailored hair care routine, you can bid farewell to those frizzy strands. Let's delve into the three key aspects that will help you maintain smooth, frizz-free straight hair.


  1. Unveiling the Causes of Frizz in Straight Hair

Straight hair, though sleek by nature, is susceptible to frizz due to various factors. Understanding these triggers is the first step toward combating frizz effectively. One major culprit is humidity, which can cause hair to swell and disrupt the straightened structure. Additionally, lack of moisture, harsh weather conditions, and the use of damaging styling tools can contribute to frizz. By identifying these causes, you can tailor your hair care routine to address them head-on.


  1. Choosing the Right Hair Care Products

The secret to combating frizz lies in the products you use. Opt for a shampoo and conditioner that focuses on hydration and frizz control. Look for ingredients like keratin, known for its moisturising properties. Avoid products containing sulphates, as these can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it more prone to frizz. Investing in a quality anti-frizz serum can also work wonders in taming those flyaways and maintaining a smooth finish.


  1. Crafting Your Daily Frizz-Prevention Routine

  1. Washing Frequency:

Strike the right balance between cleanliness and moisture. Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of essential oils, leading to increased frizz. Aim for 1-2 times a week and use a sulfate-free shampoo.


  1. Drying Techniques:

Patience is key when drying straight hair. Instead of vigorous rubbing, gently blot your hair with a microfiber towel to avoid friction. When blow-drying, use a diffuser attachment on low heat to minimise heat damage and maintain your hair's straight structure.


  1. Additional Treatments:

Consider incorporating a deep conditioning treatment into your routine once a week to provide your hair with extra hydration. Leaving our frizz-fighting conditioner on your hair for 3 minutes helps to add another level of hydration to your hair.
