Friction = destruction and damage = breakage and breakage = sadface. See, your scalp produces natural engine oil, sebum, to keep your wild hair soft and also to protect it. In a straight line mane wicks the sebum down the shaft easily, so the whole amount of the shaft is moisturized. Cleaning aids this technique by distributing the natural oils thoroughly (thanks a lot, Scarlett 'Hara, with your hundred-brush-strokes-a-day regime). Frizzy hair, on the other palm, is formed irregularly and the engine oil has trouble wicking throughout the length of hair because of the bumps and ridges. It's also impossible (and frequently agonizing) to clean when dry, so brushing can't help, either. In fact brushing curly hair often damages it. Your poor curly, dried hair is exposed to the surroundings without anything to buffer it from the blowing wind or sunlight, therefore gets destroyed easily. Further, the unused sebum eventually ends up seated on the scalp collecting dust particles… Actually. Grossed out? I assure I'll teach you coping mechanisms ina moment.

If you don't have a great deal of free cash to spend on hair health care, L'Oreal Paris' Elvive Coloring Protect Range is our go-to choice for each day use on any color hair. But if you've got a little more to purchase maintaining and improving that perfect firmness, we'd recommend Bed Head Shade Goddess for brunettes and redheads and John Frieda Sheer Blonde for - you've guessed it - blondes.

Clean it! Although those with an oily scalp need to clean more frequently, it doesn't necessarily have to be every day. Actually, over-stripped scalp stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce more olive oil and the vicious cycle persists. Try choosing clear, lathering shampoos without harsh sulfates and give attention to cleansing the scalp, as opposed to the head of hair. Follow with either a light-weight conditioner through your measures, or a heavier conditioner only from the mid-length to the ends.

Try to blow-dry flowing hair less than possible. It is already subjected to a significant amount of warmth on a daily basis in the summertime, and it will probably air-dry quickly anyways, so supply the blow dryer a rest and go au naturel when you can. Avoid flat-irons, too, as they'll do further harm to already-dry mane. Plus, a streamlined hairstyle only makes that frizz stand out more.

Dry shampoo can be a life saver, especially on a night out. Even though you don't need to use it very often, it's a good thing to retain in your handbag, in the event. If you get off the boogie floor and notice that hair is looking limp and lacklustre, then a quick visit to the bathroom, squirt on some dry shampoo and you will emerge looking nearly as good, as new again.
