Does the thought of summer make you think twice about the beachy hangouts and flow-y dresses because unruly, frizzy and frazzled hair will kill all the summer vibes? We understand, however, hot and humid summer is not the only culprit responsible for your frizzy hair. There are some regular haircare mistakes that you might be making without noticing.
So, if you want to bid goodbye to summer frizz, let’s find out the blunders and the best ways to avoid them.
1. Combing your hair when they are wet
Oh, the urge to comb your hair right after a shower… it’s real! But we would suggest you resist it. Your hair is weak and vulnerable when it is wet, and combing it at that time will make your hair break like no other. Also, brushing wet hair can lead to super-frizz when it turns dry. Stick to combing your hair pre-wash and run your hands through your hair post-wash instead.
2. Overbrushing your hair
If you were told to keep brushing your hair because it increases ‘blood flow’, let us inform you that you have been bluffed! While brushing or combing your hair is the perfect way to distribute oils to your scalp and maintain the blood flow, it is advised to not do it more than 3 times a day. If you overdo it, you are causing friction in your hair, which in turn causes them to become frizzy, damaged, and easily breakable. Instead, take time out to massage your scalp.
3. Towel drying your hair
Something that we are all guilty of doing is towel drying our hair. Many would still wonder why it is wrong? Did you know that your hair breaks the most when it is wet, and if you are rubbing hair with a towel to dry it, then chances are that you will damage more hair. This is like a toxic relationship with your hair where you love it unnecessarily, resulting in hair frizz and hair loss. It is better to dry your hair with a cotton t-shirt rather than using a damp towel. The best way is to let your hair dry naturally.
4. Not using the right hair products
If you are someone who doesn’t care about what shampoo to use to wash your hair, it’s you who is to blame for all the frizz action! Remember, using the right hair products is crucial to keeping your hair frizz free. And what is the most important product of all? A moisturizing shampoo. Pick one that suits your hair and locks moisture, especially during the summer when frizz is at its peak. For super frizzy hair, Pantene Goodbye Summer Frizz is the preferred solution that helps lock moisture in your hair and retains it up to 72 hours.
5. Overuse of styling products
Blow-drying your hair every day or straightening them must have become a ritual in today’s fast paced life because making new hairstyles for work might not be easy. We suggest you give it a break and resort to tying your hair at times. It is always advised to minimize the use of these products and set the temperature to its minimum. Also, always apply a heat protectant before styling your hair.
