/ Tips and Advice

Before we dive into how to get rid of dull and frizzy hair, let us focus on what causes frizzy hair in the first place. While one of the reasons can be over-styling, using heating tools, or chemicals on your hair, some people are born with such DNA. Another reason why most of us have experienced frizzy hair at some point in our lives is the excessive warm weather that wears down our hair’s natural moisture, making it dull, dry, and frizzy.

One key factor that can help you deal with dull & frizzy hair, is through proper moisturisation. Here at The Body Shop, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to provide you with the best solution for your hair.

Let’s help you create a step-wise guide on how to manage frizzy hair at home!

Oil Your Hair for Deep Nourishment

One of the most effective ways to control frizzy hair is through oiling them regularly. Adopted by our ancestors through ancient times, oiling has proven to be one of the fundamental steps in managing dry, dull hair. It helps in nourishing, moisturizing, and strengthening the roots, thus making improving overall hair health. And what better oil than The Body Shop’s Coconut Oil - Brilliantly Nourishing Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil! Rich in fatty acids, our coconut oil is enriched with community fair trade organic virgin coconut oil from Samoa & Soya oil from Brazil. The oil penetrates the hair shaft to provide deep hydration, thus making it one of the luxurious oils when your hair needs pampering.

Use Coconut Oil for Nourishment

Regularly oiling your hair for a minimum of twice a week can significantly reduce frizz and make your hair shinier & healthier. Here’s how to apply:

Warm the oil: Begin by warming the oil, not boiling it.
Application: Apply warm oil to your scalp & hair, focusing on dry ends.
Gentle Massage: Gently massage the oil into your scalp to stimulate blood flow.
Let it sit: Let it be for at least 30 minutes before washing it off.

Avoid Over-Washing the Hair

While cleaning your hair is essential, sometimes overwashing can cause more harm than benefit to your hair. It can strip off excess natural oils from your scalp leading to dryness and frizziness. The Body Shop’s Banana Truly Nourishing Shampoo is an excellent choice for frizzy hair. Made with 91% ingredients of natural origin such as organic Banana puree, the shampoo leaves the hair nourished from root-to-tip, softens & smoothens the hair while providing essential nutrients.

Use a Wide-Tooth Comb to Prevent Breakage

When you have frizzy or unruly hair, using a narrow tooth comb can cause breakage and split ends. Opt for a wide-tooth comb that is gentle on the scalp, evenly distributes products like conditioner, and even prevents breakage & split ends which contribute to frizzy hair.

How to Use a Wide-Tooth Comb

Start from the Bottom: Begin combing from the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots. This method reduces the chances of tangles and breakage.
Comb While Wet: It’s often easier to detangle your hair when it’s wet and has conditioner in it. This reduces friction and makes the process smoother.

Indulge in a Weekly Hair Mask

Indulging your hair into a weekly hair mask routine can provide an intense dose of nourishment and much-needed moisturization. Our Banana Truly Nourishing Hair mask is a luxurious treatment for softer, tamer, smoother, and deeply hydrated hair. Enriched with 96% natural origin ingredients such as community fair trade banana puree, the mask repairs the hair from the inside out, leaving the hair nourished from root to tip.

How to Use the Banana Hair Mask

Apply Generously: After washing your hair, apply a generous amount of Banana Hair Mask to your damp hair.
Focus on Ends: Concentrate on the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair, where frizz and dryness are most prominent.
Leave It On: Let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes. For an extra boost, you can wrap your hair in a warm towel.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse out the mask with cool water. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in the texture and manageability of your hair.

Using a hair mask once a week can make a dramatic difference in the fight against frizz.

Additional Tips for Healthy Hair

Regular Trims

Opt for regular trims every 2 months to prevent split ends & damaged hair. Trimming helps to keep your hair fresh, and healthy & adds more volume.

Eat Healthy

Diet plays a crucial role in keeping our hair & skin healthy. Consuming food rich in protein, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids such as eggs, dairy, almonds, flaxseeds, fish, walnuts & more can significantly improve your hair health.

Cold Rinse

Showering at a lower temperature protects your hair & skin by preventing dryness & frizzy hair. You can begin by using lukewarm water, then give your hair a cold rinse at the end to seal the hair cuticles.

Microfibre Towel

Switching to a microfibre towel can prevent frizzy hair as it causes less friction. You can alternately use a t-shirt to squeeze out water from your hair.

Incorporate these steps into your haircare routine consistently to notice improvement in your hair’s overall health!
