Why
What causes frizz
Humidity
Dry hair pulls water from the air and swells.
Damage
Heat and bleach lift the cuticle.
Friction
Rough towels and cotton pillowcases rough up strands.
Dryness
Curly and coily hair is naturally drier.
Wash day
A smoothing routine
Use a gentle shampoo on the scalp only, then a generous conditioner on the lengths. Detangle with a wide-tooth comb while conditioner is in. Rinse with cool water, squeeze out water with a microfiber towel or T-shirt, then apply a leave-in and a drop of oil while hair is damp.
