You put so much effort into making your hair look perfect before you go outside the house. All you can see only 2 minutes later is a bird’s nest where your hair used to be. All of us are brushing it off, blaming it on the natural texture, but this is not the case. Frizziness is caused by a shortage of moisture in dried hair. Ironically, hot, humid weather continues to aggravate frizzy hair. That’s because dry hair tries to absorb moisture from the air, causing the cuticula of each hair, or outer layer, to swell, rather than lying flat.
All it takes is a little extra attention to tackle the problem. This doesn’t mean you need to spend money on expensive products and salon treatments, just a few ingredients from your kitchen to deal with the issue.
1. Honey
Honey has been used by cultures around the world for medicinal purposes and as a natural sweetener for thousands of years. It has been used for decades in hair rinses and conditioners because not only does it minimize frizz, it also moisturizes dried hair and scalp, decreases hair breakage, preserves shine, enhances normal hair texture, and softens hair.
Dilute 2 spoonfuls of honey with 2 cups of warm water and pour through your hair. When the mixture saturates the hair, let it stay for 30 minutes. Next shampoo and a normal condition.
Honey is an excellent humectant which means the sealing of moisture in your hair is a great job. Honey is a great humectant which means it does a great job sealing your hair with moisture.
