Frizzy hair is usually a result of dehydrated hair which has lost all its natural moisture and is consequently weak and prone to breakages, split-ends and hair fall as well. Since the hair has lost its natural moisture, the cuticles of the hair are not held together and this gives the hair a frizzy and coarse appearance. While frizzy hair can be inherited from one's parents, it is usually a cause of exposure to the harmful effects of the sun, wind and pollution and the use of harmful chemical products and treatments on the hair which has led to hair damage.
In order to treat frizzy hair naturally, remember to protect your hair from the sun, wind and pollution by covering it with a hat or a scarf when you step out. It is also important to include the recommended amount of proteins, vitamins and carbohydrates in your diet and drink enough water to wash the toxins out of the body and keep the body well hydrated. Avoiding undue stress and getting adequate rest also helps to improve the over-all health of your hair. In addition to all this, you should massage your scalp regularly using warm coconut oil which encourages circulation of blood in your scalp and thus improves the health of your hair. You should shampoo and condition your hair using mild products enriched with Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and panthenol which help to control the frizzy nature of the hair and leave it soft and silky. You should wash using warm water since that opens the cuticles and allows the conditioner to get absorbed into the hair properly. However remember to use cool water to rinse out the conditioner so that the cuticles close and the moisture is sealed within the hair strands. Avoid rubbing your hair vigorously or using a blow dryer to dry your hair because this will dry it excessively and make it even more prone to breakages. While detangling your hair, avoid using a regular comb or brush. Instead you can use your fingers to detangle the knots and then comb your hair using a wide-toothed comb. There also several herbal masks that you can use to improve the health and appearance of your hair. The Ayurvedic hair mask is made by mixing lemon juice and olive oil in equal proportions which can then be massaged into the scalp and left for an hour before washing the hair. A hair mask made with egg yolks and honey is excellent for conditioning the hair.
