Wavy and frizzy hair is not always easy to handle, but with the right precautions it is possible to have it beautiful and cared for. Experiment with various products until you find one that you like and that gives you satisfactory results. Gels, modeling pastes, and sprays are all good options. To choose the most suitable product, consider the result you want to achieve. Between styling, protect your hair's natural texture and keep it well hydrated by wrapping it in a scarf or braiding it before going to sleep. With a little effort, you'll be able to show off beautiful, frizz-free wavy hair.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Wash and Dry the Hair
Step 1. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
If you have naturally wavy and frizzy hair, then it is extremely important to use the right products when washing. Look for a shampoo and conditioner that have moisturizing properties. Make sure you massage these products into your scalp while showering and rinse them well after application.
- You can also apply conditioner with the help of a comb while taking a shower. This ensures that the product is distributed evenly on the hair and helps to detangle it more easily.
- Avoid products containing alcohol or sulfates - they can dry your hair and cause split ends.
Step 2. After you get out of the shower, gently pat your hair dry with a soft towel
Using a hair dryer could make frizz and dry your hair worse. Instead, use a soft towel (such as a microfiber towel) or an old cotton t-shirt to gently wring them out. If you are going to apply styling products immediately after washing, it is best to leave your hair only slightly damp.
Avoid using terry towels, as they only make frizz worse
Step 3. Detangle and discipline your hair with the help of a wide-toothed comb
The brushes remove the sebum from the scalp, making the hair even more dry and frizzy. So use them sparingly or replace them entirely with a comb. Run a comb through your hair to distribute the product. You can also do this with your fingers.
Method 2 of 4: Fighting the Frizzy Effect and Regulating Wavy Hair
Step 1. Massage a taming and anti-frizz product into your hair
After you get out of the shower, pat your hair dry with a towel. Then, squeeze a dab of the disciplining cream into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and run your fingers through your hair from root to tip. Pull the waves down slightly as you apply the product to your hair.
Step 2. Apply modeling paste from bottom to top
Apply a small amount of modeling paste to your fingertips, then rest your fingers on the tips of your hair. "Crumple" them gently between your fingers upwards and repeat until you finish the dough. Take more and continue with the rest of the hair.
- Try not to use too much product, otherwise the hair will be stiff and heavy.
- If you feel like the paste is only being applied to the top layer of your hair, turn it upside down and spread it over the bottom of your hair as well.
Step 3. Use a travel-sized bottle of serum to combat frizz on the go
If your hair gets wet from rain or becomes electric from humidity, pour a few drops of serum on your palm. Apply a veil on the superficial part of the hair, in order to keep the frizz effect under control. You can also pull your hair into a ponytail for a smooth and neat result. Most of the anti-frizz serums have the function of polishing and regulating the hair.
Step 4. Experiment with different products until you find a suitable one
Each hair is a world apart and reacts differently to various products. Get some samples and try them out to find the one that's right for you. This will allow you to test different products without spending a fortune. If you know people who have wavy or frizzy hair, talk to them to find out if they have found a solution or can give you advice.
Do not immediately exclude a product. You may need to use a little less or try a different application technique
Step 5. Change your styling every two to three days
Do not always use the same products and the same techniques, otherwise you risk falling into the routine and your hair could be affected. Instead, he occasionally alternates between gels, sprays and modeling pastes. One day you can have a full treatment in the shower, while another you can avoid directly washing your hair.
Step 6. Collect your hair with a scarf before going to sleep to prevent frizz
Gently twist your hair, wrap it and secure it with a silk scarf. Arrange the scarf so it can hold the entire hair. Silk keeps them well hydrated and prevents them from drying out. In addition, twisting them allows you to protect the waves and texture of the hair
If you prefer to sleep with your hair down, using a silk pillowcase also helps prevent frizz. This type of pillowcase can be found in many home improvement stores and online
Method 3 of 4: Create Different Hairstyles
Step 1. Pick two strands from the front of the hair and pin them
Select two small strands of hair on each side of the face. Pull one up and twist it slightly. Then, place it on the back or side of the scalp. Secure it with bobby pins. Repeat on the other side.
Step 2. Spray a sea salt spray on your hair
Stand upside down and let your hair fall forward. Take a sea salt spray and spray it on the inside of the hair two to five times. Then, lift your head up and spread it over your hair using your hands. You should get a fake disheveled effect, as if you had spent the day at the beach.
Step 3. Smooth your hair back with a gel
Pour a dab of gel into the palm of your hand. Apply it to the top and front sections of the hair using your fingers. You can pull them back or use gel to shape them, so you get waves that frame your face.
Step 4. Use a straightener to wave your hair:
just twist it slightly. Instead of dragging it down in a straight line to smooth them, try twisting your hand slightly. Grab a small section of hair and insert it between the plates of the straightener. Now, turn your wrist slightly and slowly drag the plate down. This process will help you create soft waves.
Step 5. Braid your hair before bed for soft waves
Before going to bed, pull your hair back into one or two large braids. It is usually more comfortable to sleep with two braids. Upon awakening, you will have defined, knot-free waves. Be careful with the rubber bands you use, as some can leave marks on your hair. To perfect the styling, go over the thickest waves with a curling iron.
Method 4 of 4: Try Different Cuts
Step 1. Undercut
Many men who have wavy hair prefer to do fairly short cuts on the sides and back, leaving the top longer instead. Long locks can then be combed forward or to the side. This cut also allows you to let the waves of your hair fall freely, creating a natural and slightly disheveled effect.
In the evening it can be useful to gather the hair with a soft band, which helps to keep the waves intact and well untangled
Step 2. If you have short hair, go for a straight cut
If your hair comes to your shoulders, a layered cut will make it puffy and weigh down. Instead, take them as long as possible by making an even cut that reaches the chin. Even cuts often flatter short hair. Also, as they make them fuller and more compact, they help prevent them from becoming frizzy or untameable.
With this cut it is often a good idea to make a long fringe, which softens the features
Step 3. If your hair comes to your shoulders or is longer, ask for a layered cut
Wavy and frizzy hair can appear quite heavy on the top of the head unless it is trimmed properly. To keep them from feeling heavy, ask your hairdresser to do a layered cut to pull them off at different points and lengths. It is also a good idea to scale them both on the inside and outside of the hair to get a uniform and well-balanced effect.
