Home Remedies for Frizzy Hair
When your hair looks like you’ve entered a wind tunnel, it pays to know how to prevent and treat a case of the ‘frizzies.’ Contrary to popular belief, people with curly hair are not the only ones to suffer frizzy hair. You should know that home remedies for frizzy hair can assist any individual – no matter what type of hair – bone straight, kinky, or full of waves.
Why Does Hair Get Frizzy?
The hair shaft is comprised of cuticle layers, which can sometimes ’stand up.’ When this occurs, hair not only looks frizzy, but feels different as well. Since frizzy hair is naturally absorbent, extra moisture found in the air gravitates to the frazzled hair shaft, causing it to increasingly expand. As a result, cuticle layers begin to stand out and create the frizzy look you so desperately wish to get rid of.
While some are born with naturally frizzy hair, others unknowingly increase their chances of suffering this rather common hairstyling issue. Other underlying causes of frizzy hair include:
- Coarse texture
- Lack of moisture
- Not enough protein in the hair
- Coloring, perming and bleaching the hair
- Humid weather conditions
- Overstyling
- Strong winds
- Overexposure to the sun
Frizzy Hair Home Remedies
In order to control frizzy hair, you need to get to the root of your problem (no pun intended). Once you uncover the source of your frizziness, you can begin with a suitable home treatment, which can be as simple as changing your lifestyle habits. Common home remedies for frizzy hair include:
a) Check the Ingredients:
Harsh chemicals and other ingredients can contribute to frizzy hair. Reduce your dependency on products that contain sodium, calcium, lye, and lithium hydroxide. Various oil-based conditions can also create frizzy hair.
b) Keep Away from Heat:
Excessive blow-drying of the hair can cause frizziness. Consider air-drying if you typically battle frizzy hair. If you have a habit of abusing your heat appliances, give your hair a rest. This also means using less of your curling iron and straightening comb, which can wreak havoc on hair. Additionally, hot oil treatments can produce the same frizzing effect on hair.
c) All-Natural Hair Products:
If your onslaught of gels, mousses and hairsprays possess a high alcohol content, you will only worsen frizzy hair. Consider the use of all-natural hair products that help curb a frizzy hair problem.
d) Hands Off:
Some people have a habit of constantly combing, scrunching, or brushing their hair. When it comes to healthy hair, you don’t need 100 strokes of the brush each day. Primp and fuss too much over your locks and you could add to a frizzy hair condition.
e) Natural Vegetable Glycerin:
Add natural vegetable glycerin to your mousse or gel in order to control frizzy hair.
f) Vinegar:
Smooth out the cuticles of your hair by using vinegar to achieve an acceptable pH balance.
g) Don’t Overwash Your Hair:
Don’t shampoo everyday, as this will strip your strands of natural oils, which provide the best moisturizers for your hair.
h) Relax and Eat Balanced Meals:
When you combine stress, poor nutritional habits, and the absence of essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids – you’ll not only suffer frizzy hair, but also split ends and hair loss.
i) Egg and Olive Oil:
Combine olive oil and egg to create a paste that is directly applied to the hair. Once ½ hour has passed – use your regular shampoo and conditioner to rinse out the egg mixture.
j) Moisturizing Conditioner:
Calm down frizzy hair by using a conditioner that contains coconut or castor oil.
I can't stand frizzy hair, especially during the summertime. I think the egg and olive oil mixture sounds interesting. I think I will try it out!
Here’s a tip i got from the internet,Im not sure if it really works but my friends says she uses it 30mins before taking a shower.
1) Mash 1 Avocado & mix it will w/ 1 Tblsp of Olive oil or almond oil.
2)Apply then take a shower normally.& dnt over use the SHAMPOO!
1.you can use egg yolk and olive oil,almond oil

2.rinse out with warm water and air drying is the best
my curls come out after i do this and let it air dry
3.do not wash to much and be careful on what kind of products you use on your hair. i use pink lotion it has helped my hair but it is kinda oily

i have dry,frizzy,poofy hair,i have tryed countless amounts of products,if some one knows of any home remedy that would help me,i would be eternaly greatfull.
I have the worst frizzy hair! I love all theses tips and you can try this one…..
Use 2 eggs for short hair and 3 for long and add three tablespoons of olive oil coat ur hair fom top to bottom and leave in for thirty minutes, Wash out with shampoo and conditioner.
this is what you do:
1.) take a shower with shampoo and conditioner
2.) when you get out brush your hair with a COMB
3.) then you put it in a braid or a high ponytail(when your
hair is WET)
4.)then let your hair dry then take it off the next day and it is flat and beautiful
1.)brush it with a comb
2.)cut ONE strand of hair off your head and tie your hair with that strand and it gets flat cuz that strand spreads the organisms around your hair and keeps it calm
I have very frizzy hair and i hate it. So I will try the olive oil and egg!!
ive had frizzy hair my whole life and i have to say the eggs and olive oil work very well, been doing it since i was about 12
Blow-drying is the worst thing you can do to your hair. if you want to keep frizz down, look for frizz products at a salon.
I have tried everythin u could ever think of but the egg and olive oil sounds good. Also try putting ur hair up after u take a shower AT NIGHT! And in the morning take it out and u might have a few bumps in ur hair but they brush right out.
mustard oil, yogurt,egg yolk,mix them well n apply for an hour before taking a shower
I had made a mistake by perming my hair and now it is frizzy, but was beautiful before I made the mistake of perming it. I let olive oil sit in my hair over night once every 2 weeks, and when I wash my hair in the morning, my hair feels much softer and less frizzy. Olive oil so far has been the key ingredient for dry or frizzy hair.
I have tried all products that sell for $$ to combat frizzyness.
What has temporarily worked is the olive oil/egg thing. Sometimes I mix 1 part schampoo, 1 part eggyolk to 1 part olive oil if in a hurry.
Also neutral ( no color) henna might work for fine hair, have not done that yet..
Right after washing your heart and when it is still very wet do this:
1. comb all your hair
2. get a brush and a tight hair tie
3. brush your hair into a pony tail. Focus on the front and wet it if needed so that it is very flat
4. tie your tightly like a ballerina
5. this is optional, use an anti-frizz non-greasy cream like john friedas ‘anti-frizz weather works conidtion’ about half a teaspoon, and put it on the front hair.
6. leave it to air-dry for a minimum of 2 hours. For better results 3-4 hours.
When you untie your hair the top half will be VERY smooth and straight and the bottom half will be wavy but still wet at that point, so just let the bottom half air-dry and keep on tying it every now and then while it’s still drying but no need to tie it tight anymore.
I found this the only thing that works on my hair. Been doing this for 7 years. Oh, you still need to be living in a dry or semi-dry environment for this.
The only reason my hair frizzes is cuz of occasional split ends, humidity, and heat. (and my sister purposely told me blow drying helps not hurts frizzy hair! the liar…) I also heard aloe vera works good with frizzy hair as well. I still have to try it though, so I hope it works. the only thing im afraid of when doing remidies with oils or eggs, is that my hair will get super greasy, which it does get often, or will smell bad. Somebody please help me. I have light brown hair, its kinda thick, and gets wavy to the point where you could call it curly. the only problem is, how do keep it not frizzy? its fine at first but later on I HAVE to put my hair up… somebody plz help me!!!!
I put my hair up in a high, tight bun at night and when I wake up in the morning, leave it up until it’s been twelve hrs from when u had the shower, and you have nice, curly/wavy hair.(Kinda depends on ur hair type.) The only part I haven’t gotten down pat was keep it NOT FRIZZY… oh well hope this helps somebody!
For dry frizzy hair rinse hair wit cold water. Then add a cup of olive oil and let sit for a minute and a half. Rinse throughly. Then bathe as usual.Let shampoo sit in hair for about a minute same with coditioner. HOPE IT WORKS!!!
hi there, I have lived with fuzzy hair all my life, and it seems to be getting worse the older I get! aarrrgggg!! Please tell me what would be a good ratio for olive (and is olive oil the only oil to be used), and eggs (how many eggs?)
Thank you for any help in advance!! kimmer
Does it matter what kind of olive oil you use on your hair? I have very frizzy hair and want to try the olive oil and eggs. I only have extra virgin olive oil. Will this work the same?
