Table of Contents

    Frizzy hair is a problem most people suffer after styling. It tends to get worse in humid weather or after exposure to heat and chemical treatments.

    Fortunately, frizz can be minimized by following an effective hair routine and using specialized products. LOVE Smoothing Shampoo and LOVE Smoothing Conditioner help smooth and nourish strands, while LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask delivers immediate anti-frizz results within just 30 seconds.

    For curly hair, products like LOVE CURL Primer and Curl Building Serum define curls and reduce tangles. Protection serums and finishing coatings such as LOVE Smoothing Perfector and Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze provide heat protection and lasting smoothness.

    In this guide from EIDEAL, we show you the best steps and most suitable products to keep your hair smooth, well-defined, and frizz-free.

    Why Does Frizzy Hair Appear After Styling?

    Frizz appears when hair absorbs moisture due to open cuticles, dryness, or heat damage.

    Here’s how each factor contributes to frizz after styling:

    • Humidity: This is where hair absorbs moisture; the hydrogen bonds are broken, and the hair swells.

    • Open Cuticles: The damage to cuticles raises the porosity of hair, hence making the latter frizzy.

    • Dryness and loss of natural oils make hair brittle and frizzy.

    • Overuse of heat or dyes is going to weaken the hair structure and increase frizz.

    The Complete Routine to Prevent Frizz After Styling – with Products Available at EIDEAL

    1. Wash and Condition

    • Nourishing Shampoo: LOVE Smoothing Shampoo cleanses while nourishing the hair to help seal the cuticle for smoothness.

    • Instant Mask When Needed: LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask – an anti-frizz effect in 30 seconds for when you need a quick result before styling.

    2. Co-wash for Frizzy Hair

    If your hair is frizzy, try a co-wash with a conditioner to seal in the moisture for less frizz between washes.

    3. Nourishing Conditioner Before Styling

    After shampooing, follow up with the LOVE Smoothing Conditioner to smooth the strands and reduce friction to make comb-out easier.

    4. Wet Styling

    LOVE CURL Primer or This is a Curl Building Serum can be applied to wet hair to help define curls and reduce tangles.
     Follow up with styling product applications, if needed, such as This is a Curl Moisturizing Mousse or This is a Curl Gel Oil to create your desired curls.

    5. Drying Safely: Air First, Diffuser If Necessary

    Air-dry your hair as much as possible. When the use of a hairdryer is unavoidable, apply LOVE Smoothing Perfector beforehand as a heat protectant and then use it with a diffuser attachment while drying.

    6. Anti-frizz/Post-styling Protection

    After styling, add a dash of LOVE Smoothing Perfector or Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze for extra protection against heat/UV rays and to help reduce moisture absorption.

    7. Bedtime Routine to Safeguard Your Style

    Tie your hair with a ribbon or silk band, or sleep on a satin pillowcase to minimize friction and prevent frizz in the morning.

    8. Severe Frizz: Salon Treatments

    If it persists, we recommend a moisturizing and smoothing salon treatment, sealing the cuticles and giving elasticity. 

    You can ask your salon professional for a protocol that starts with a moisturizing shampoo, followed by an instant mask and then a smoothing formula that acts as a humidity barrier.

    FAQs for Frizzy Hair

    1. Why do frizzes appear after styling?

    Frizz may be caused by high humidity, damage to the cuticle of the hair, or dryness from heat and dyes that causes hair to swell and lose its smoothness.

    1. Can frizz be removed permanently?

     It cannot be eliminated permanently, but it can be considerably controlled by using specialized products such as smoothing shampoo and conditioner, applying heat protectant, and moisturizing your hair regularly.

    1. How does one quickly get rid of frizz before going out?

    Utilize an instant mask, such as LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask, or apply a smoothing serum that can reduce frizz in minutes and restore smoothness to hair.

    1. Does heat increase frizz?

    Yes, frequent heat application disrupts the internal bonds of the hair shaft, perpetuating aridity, hence frizz. That is why using a heat protectant before styling, if possible, is highly recommended.

    1. What's the most ideal daily routine to avoid frizz?

    The best routine includes a smoothing shampoo and conditioner, a styling product applied while the hair is wet, friction-free drying with great gentleness, using an anti-frizz serum or finishing cream, and sleeping on a satin pillowcase to minimize friction.

    Follow a simple routine and treat your hair with some great products like LOVE Smoothing Shampoo, LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask, LOVE CURL Primer, and Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze to keep frizz at bay and maintain smooth hair.
