Experts share simple ways to achieve silky, frizz-free hair.
Many struggle with unruly and frizzy hair as temperatures rise and humidity increases. However, dermatologists say a few small changes can make a big difference.
Excessive heat exposure, lack of moisture, and improper hair care routines are common culprits behind frizz. A consultation with a dermatologist can help identify one’s unique scalp and hair type and prescribe tailored solutions.
Speaking to HT Lifestyle, Dr. Anindita Sarkar of AAYNA Clinics shares effective tips backed by expert advice:
Understanding hair types through diagnosis is important. Different hair requires different care and protection based on conditions like dandruff or dryness.
Excess brushing or washing should be avoided. Very frequent brushing beyond 100 times can increase breakage while disturbed blood flow. Washing 2-3 times a week usually suffices unless the scalp is excessively oily.
Over-the-top routines should be debunked. Finding simple daily measures works better than products overloaded with chemicals, which may worsen the problem.
Moderate towel drying post-shower is advised. Harsh rubbing with terrycloth tears cuticles, leading to more frizz. Light patting with a soft cotton or microfiber towel is better. Applying a few drops of serum before heat styling protects from damage while sealing in moisture.
Daily cuticle sealing with an anti-humidity cream forms a protective barrier against atmospheric changes. With these easy adjustments, guided by professionals, your tresses can stay frizz-free all season long.
