Frizzy hair is dry hair that lacks moisture. Conditions like wet, humid weather or using alkaline shampoos, products, styling gels, etc., can make it worse.
So, if you are battling with frizzy hair, here is a list of must-try home remedies and some takeaways to help you get rid of frizzy hair once and for all.
Coconut oil: Apply Coconut oil on hair as a pre-wash or post-wash hair ritual to reduce frizziness and increase moisture level.
Egg: Prepare a hair mask of beaten egg, apply it to hair and leave it for about 15 minutes. Then wash it thoroughly with shampoo. You can also add coconut oil to the mask.
Apple cider vinegar: Make a mix of 1-3 cups of apple cider vinegar with about 1 litre of water and pour it over your head. Leave it on your hair for about 1 to 3 minutes and wash with cool water.
Avocado: Prepare a hair mask by mashing a ripe avocado and 2-4 tbsp of coconut oil. Then apply the mixture on your hair and scalp and cover it with a towel. Wash hair using shampoo after leaving it for about 20-30 minutes.
Aloe vera gel: Massage 1 tbsp of aloe gel to your scalp after dampening your hair. Then wash immediately using your regular shampoo. Finish it by applying a conditioner to lock in the moisture.
Banana: Grind a ripe banana to paste. Gently rub it on your scalp and leave it for about 15 minutes using a plastic wrap. Rinse it with water. For deep conditioning, you can keep the mask overnight.
Rice water: Soak the rice in water for at least 20 minutes. Now after washing and rinsing your hair pour the rice water and leave it for about 15 minutes before rinsing it. You can add lavender or rosemary oil to add fragrance.
