Prevent frizz with a hydrating shampoo.

A hydrating shampoo can help prevent frizz.

Frizzy hair isn’t just a female problem. Many men can also experience frizz that makes it difficult to manage their hair and keep it looking neat and respectable. Because many anti-frizz products are marketed toward women, many men don’t know where to start when it comes to managing their frizzy hair. These tips can help you keep your hair frizz-free and looking great.

Don’t Shampoo Too Often

Many men think they need to wash their hair with a good hydrating shampoo on a daily basis to keep it looking great and to remove any excess oils. However, if you’re not using a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, shampooing too often could be a contributing factor to your frizz. Instead of daily, consider shampooing every three days or even just once a week.

Keep It Moisturized

Curly hair is more susceptible to frizz because it can dry out more easily than straight hair. For this reason, it’s important to use a sulfate free hydrating shampoo that is designed to keep your hair fully moisturized. Using a leave in conditioner can also help seal the moisture in for even better results.

Use Lukewarm Water

Heat is one of the leading factors in damaging your hair. Those hot showers you take can more quickly lead to damaged hair so it’s important to tone your showers down to lukewarm temperatures to help protect your hair and keep it from frizzing.

Don’t Rely on Gel

If you want to get rid of your frizz, use quality hair care products.

Quality hair care can help reduce your frizz.

Most men turn to gel when they need to reduce frizz instead of taking care of the root cause of the problem. Hair gels and other styling products more quickly dry out your hair, which is one of the leading causes of frizz. While it’s okay to use gel occasionally, consider mixing it up by using a leave in conditioner or nothing at all on most days.

Get Rid of the Brush

Shorter, curly hair doesn’t typically take well to a brush, resulting in more frizz. This is because brushes can pull the essential oils away from the scalp and out of your hair. Instead of using a brush to style your hair, choose a wide-tooth comb. Your fingers can also be useful in styling your hair if you don’t have a comb to use.

Quality hair care lies at the foundation of preventing frizz in your curly hair. Even though many commercials you see feature women, there are things you can do to minimize your frizz and keep your hair looking great for all occasions. A good hydrating shampoo used on a regular basis, along with these tips, can provide the valuable moisture your hair needs.
