How Do I Tame Frizzy Hair? Ask The Editor!

How to make sure your hair doesn't look like this! Photo: Getty Images

QUESTION: I have really frizzy hair. When I step out of the shower and don't do anything to it, it frizzes and doesn't look right. And I have lots of flyaways. What do you recommend?

ANSWER: If you let your hair dry naturally (which it sounds like you do) and you're prone to frizz, a styling product is essential. My pick would be a styling cream because it adds moisture to the hair, which helps to smooth and soothe roughed-up cuticles – a major frizz culprit.

You can apply it to wet or dry hair, but be careful with the amount as it can weigh the hair down. If you have thick, course, curly hair, you can apply a large dollop or more. But if you have wavy or straight hair that's fine or thin, start with a small drop and add more as needed.

Also, as the hair is air-drying, try not to touch it too much. The more you play with the hair while it's wet, the more you aggravate the cuticle and create frizz.

One of the most important things in treating and preventing frizzy, dry or damaged hair is using a deep conditioner. There are some great suggestions on which products work really great. Here is a product that takes the conditioner to the next level - Hot Head. Hot Head is a thermal heat cap that is actually cute and does not require being plugged into a wall. I highly recommend this cap! The heat opens up the hair follicles (as used in a professional salon) and allows the conditioner to penetrate the follicles. You will definitely notice a difference. They have a website at www.thermalhaircare.com I hope you love it as much as I do!
