Many people’s hair curl, especially on wet days. There are a variety of products on the market against frizz, but we recommend natural remedies to tame the strawy, unruly hair. You can learn more about it in this article.

Frizz can arise for a variety of reasons, but most of the time it is caused by a lack of moisture and the use of dye or heat treatments (such as a hairdryer or straightening iron). Some hair is also naturally very dry and porous.

Effective home remedies for frizz

• Mash a ripe banana with a fork and mix with a spoon of lemon juice and a spoon of sunflower oil. Apply to the hair and after half an hour of action, wash the hair as usual. However, you should not use the hairdryer, it is best to wait until the hair dries by itself.

• Mix 1/4 cup of olive oil and a raw egg. Apply this mixture to washed or at least damp hair. Wash your hair again after 30 minutes. Olive oil provides a lot of moisture and the lecithin – an amino acid – contained in the egg repairs the hair and regenerates the cells.

• Mash a ripe banana with the pulp of an avocado and then apply to damp hair. After 20 to 30 minutes of action, rinse with water and then wash as usual. The banana contains valuable antioxidants and minerals that repair hair. Avocados are characterized by fatty acids that nourish hair wonderfully.

• Mix a cup of mayonnaise (homemade or purchased) with the pulp of an avocado. Apply to the hair and cover it with foil or a plastic cap. Then wrap your head with a warm, damp towel. After at least half an hour, wash your hair as usual.
• A raw egg can also help against frizz. Massage the scalp gently with it. After about 15 minutes, wash with shampoo and then apply conditioner.

Recommendations to prevent frizz

• Use quality products, even if they are more expensive. Make sure the hair care products do not contain alcohol.
• Wash the hair with lukewarm or cold water. Hot water also dries out the hair. 
• After washing, apply a nourishing hair cream to towel-dried hair. Let the hair dry naturally.
• Be careful with hair clips as they can damage brittle hair. Overly tight hairstyles are also not recommended. Sleep with your hair down.
• Hairbrushes made of wood are best, because metal or plastic brushes promote electrically charged hair.

• Avoid heat treatments like straighteners and blow dryers as much as possible. If, in exceptional cases, a hair dryer is used, keep a distance of 30 cm from the scalp.
• Do not wash your hair every day, as this will open the pores further and result in frizzy hair. Even if you take a daily shower, you should only wash your hair every other day.
