but first, what causes frizz?
frizzy hair happens when your hair’s outer layer swells up, creating a raised cuticle. dry hair types, highly porous hair, or damaged strands are the most likely to experience frizz as strands seek to absorb excess moisture from the air and balloon up as a result.
common causes of frizz:
- humidity (excess moisture in the air that our hair can absorb)
- friction (lifting the cuticle and causing breakage which can lead to frizz)
- environmental stressors
- mechanical stressors like excess brushing and towel-drying
- chemical damage
- over washing, which can lead to cuticle damage
