Maintaining a nice hairdo on a day where it's hot and humid might feel like fighting a losing battle if you have hair prone to the frizz. So, what is the science behind frizzy hair? Dry hair and humidity tend to be the formula for a bad hair day. If your hair is not properly hydrated from the start, it can absorb moisture from the atmosphere causing the frizz. In addition to this, oils do not travel down curly hair tendrils the way they do straight hair. Retaining oil in the hair is also key to controlling frizziness and luckily for you- you've got all you need to take care of your hair at home!

Hair Mask for Frizzy and Tangled Hair

Here’s a quick and easy hair mask that works to tame frizzy hair that tangles easily. If you have a banana that ripened too quickly, use it to prevent waste and to give your hair some TLC. Bananas lock in moisture which makes your hair silky because they are rich in potassium, natural oils, and vitamins.

Ingredients
1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of coconut oil

Put these ingredients into a blender and blend until it becomes a smooth consistency. Apply this mask and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Shampoo and wash your hair afterward, and you’ll be left with silky and tangle-free hair!

Additionally, watch out for these causes of frizzy hair:

Hair Care

Getting your split ends trimmed daily can improve the appearance of hair. Overbrushing your hair can also lead to breakage and split ends so be a little more discerning about how many times a day you comb/brush.

No Heat Protection

if you use heat styling tools, consider using heat protectant products. There are many heat protectant sprays that lock in hydration. You can iron, and curl your hair without damaging your hair's cuticles.

Hot Water

While hot water can be relaxing, it can actually strip your scalp of its natural oils! Lower the temperature or even opt for using cool water when rinsing your hair.


Bath Towels

How you dry your hair matters as well. Rough towels can be abrasive to your hair. They can soak up all the moisture leaving you with semi damp, frizzy looking hair.
Do you want to elevate your hair in an ethical way? You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on hair care products when you can make your own with items you probably already have in your kitchen. 

Never underestimate the power of a good DIY hair mask. While you can always consult a hair stylist for the best treatment for your hair, DIY hair masks can come in handy when you want to target a specific condition or just give your scalp a much-needed restorative boost.
