HOW TO FIX FRIZZY HAIR FOR MEN: TOP 8 TIPS

The three main culprits for frizzy hair are dryness, damage, and friction. Learning more about what may be causing your frizz is the first step in getting rid of it.

Dry Hair

Dry hair is devoid of natural oils that help smooth the outer layer and give your hair that healthy shine. When your hair is dry, it tries to absorb all the extra moisture from the environment around you. That’s why your curly locks can turn into a frizzy mop on a humid day. Curly and wavy hair are naturally more prone to dryness, but straight-haired guys can get frizz too.

Washing your hair too often or using the wrong products can strip it of its natural oils, throwing its moisture balance off and over-drying it.

Damaged Hair

Put down the blow dryer and chill on the bleach. Dying, bleaching, and excessive heat damage the hair’s cuticle, causing brittleness, breakage, and—you guessed it—frizz.

Too Much Friction

If the first thing you do when you step out of the shower is reach for the towel and rub your hair vigorously, stop immediately! For men with frizzy hair, this is a big no-no. Why? Towel-drying lifts and damages your hair’s cuticle, creating frizz. Sleeping on a rough cotton pillowcase can cause a similar effect.

How to Fix Frizzy Hair for Men

Frizzy hair does not have to be a permanent state. With consistent care and the right moisturizing frizz-fighting products for you, you can get rid of frizz and fix that frizzy hair.

1. Choose a moisturizing shampoo.
   Many shampoos can strip your hair of natural oils that coat and protest the strands of hair. Hair can look dull, dry, and frizzy when this oil is gone. Instead, look for a moisturizing shampoo designed for dry or frizzy hair. And make sure to consistently add a frizz-combatting conditioner after you shampoo.

2. Use a leave-in conditioner daily.
   Whether you shampoo or not, use a daily leave-in conditioner to smooth the hair cuticle, seal in moisture, and create a barrier against frizz.
3. Deep condition weekly.
   For men with extra dry locks or fluffy, frizzy hair, use a repairing hair mask once a week. Opt for a mask designed to realign hair fibers to help combat chronic frizz.
4. Wash in cold or lukewarm water.
   Washing your hair in water that is too hot can damage your hair. This damage can lead to dryer hair strands, eventually resulting in frizzy hair. Try to wash your hair in water as cool as possible to preserve healthy hair and fix frizz.
5. Let hair dry naturally.
   Instead of blow-drying, use an anti-frizz serum to repel humidity and let the air do the rest.

6. Style wisely.
   Unless you’re a very long-haired dude, a bun is not an option for your frizzy hair. That’s where choosing the right products is essential. Embrace your natural curls or style your mane in a messy quiff or sleek pompadour with an alcohol-free, frizz-fighting gel. Use a styling touch-up creme to smooth flyaways into place or any other flyaway tamer to smooth flyaways into place.
7. Toss your brush.
   Bristle brushes ruffle the hair’s cuticle and can turn dry, frizz-prone hair into a wild, poofy mess. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle wet hair after showering, and use your fingers and a little product to style.
8. Get regular trims.
   Especially if your hair is longer, split ends can make frizz look worse. Schedule regular haircuts with your barber to keep your ends healthy and refresh your hair with a trim.
