Frizzy hair: it doesn’t make you happy, no matter what season it is. In winter, but also in autumn, your hair is often frizzier than normal. But why is that? And more importantly: how do you fix and prevent it? We’ll tell you all about it so that you can have a frizz-free winter!
WHY DOES YOUR HAIR GET FRIZZY IN WINTER?
First things first : how can your hair become frizzy in the winter? It is often a combination of different factors. First of all, the temperature changes and differences play a role. It is cold outside, while it is extra warm inside. Your hair cannot handle that well, causing it to lose moisture and therefore become frizzy. You also start wearing different clothing and fabrics because of the cold temperatures. We can't blame you, but scarves and (wool) sweaters, for example, can make your hair static and frizzy.
In addition, humidity plays a role. In winter, humidity is generally higher and your hair can become frizzy as a reaction to this. Finally, your hair can also become frizzy faster in winter if you have not protected your hair properly in summer. The sun, the sea and the swimming pool can damage your hair, which in turn makes it frizzy faster later on.
BYE BYE FRIZZ, HELLO SMOOTH WINTER HAIR
Okay, so knowing why your hair gets frizzy in the winter is one thing, but perhaps even more important is the question: how do you get rid of it and how do you prevent it? We’ve put together four tips for you to help you have a frizz-free winter.
1. Hydration is key
Frizz generally occurs because your hair is not hydrated enough. So make sure you pay extra attention to the hydration of your hair during the cold winter months. Use shampoo and conditioner that hydrate your hair, or a hydrating leave-in spray such as the My Hero Wonder Spray.
2. Pamper your hair with a hydrating mask
Your hair is already having a hard time in the winter and reacts to it with frizz, so be extra nice to your hair this season. Especially if you have dry hair in addition to frizzy hair, it is wise to use a hair mask once a week. The Me, My Curls And I Hydrating Mask , for example. This mask provides maximum hydration due to, among other things, the avocado oil and jojoba oil that it contains, and it contains a technical ingredient that has been proven to reduce frizz .
3. Don't wash your hair too often or too hot
Washing your hair too often and too hot is not recommended if you want to keep your hair as healthy as possible, but this is extra important in the winter. We know : there is little nicer than a warm shower in the winter, but be kind to your hair. Washing too hot causes the hair to dry out and therefore becomes frizzy faster. And if you wash your hair too often, your hair loses the natural oils that are needed to keep the hair shiny, healthy and frizz-free. So don't shower too often, not too hot and finish with cold water so that the hair cuticles close and you can face the cold frizz-free.
4. Quick fix: hair oil
Frizzy hair cannot always be prevented, but it can be solved. You can do this with a hair oil. The Go With The Glow Hair Oil is a lightweight oil that eliminates frizz while hydrating, detangling, softening and protecting the hair. This oil contains argan oil and cottonseed oil and although this hydrates your hair very well, this oil does not make your hair greasy . This means you can always use it if you want to get rid of your frizzy hair quickly!
