The weather can wreak havoc on your mane, causing fly-aways and unruly strands. But by adding these tricks to your hair care routine, you can get rid of frizzy hair once and for all.

No matter your hair’s texture or style, frizzy hair is something everyone can relate to as it’s a common hair woe. Fluffy, frizzy hair can strike at any time, but there are certain things that can trigger fly-aways in your mane. In particular, the weather can play a huge role in the state of your hair.

When the humidex rises, hair is more susceptible to frizz, especially dry, dehydrated strands because they absorb the moisture that’s in the air. And in the winter, when the air is drier, strands are prone to static frizz. But it is possible to get rid of frizzy hair for good—we promise. Follow these simple hair tips and you’ll have sleek, smooth hair all year round.

Step 1: Hair Hydration Starts in the Shower

The first place to start tackling frizzy hair is in the shower. If you’re looking to tame fly-aways and boost the moisture in your mane, swap out your regular everyday shampoo and conditioner for products that are formulated to tackle frizz.

L’Oréal Paris EverPure shampoo is powered by a 6% sleek care complex with alpha-acids to smoothes the hair fiber.

Follow it up with L’Oréal Paris EverPure Iron Sleek Conditioner for an extra hit of moisture. For locks that are really dry, turn your conditioner into a hair treatment by applying it to wet hair, letting it absorb into your strands for the duration of your shower and then rinsing it out. It will give your mane a nourishing, smoothing boost.

Step 2: Use a Leave-in Conditioner Spray Weekly

While using an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner is an essential step for smoothing out your strands, if you really want to increase your chances of banishing frizz for good, you can take it a step further by adding a leave-in conditioner spray to achieve a semi permanent smoothing transformation.

Achieve salon-level smoothness at home. This semi-permanent treatment is specially formulated for color-treated and frizzy hair. Powered by a sleek care complex with alpha-acids, it works to intensely smooth the hair fiber, providing a water-resistant shield against humidity that lasts up to 5 washes. It helps block out frizz and protects against heat damage, leaving hair incredibly manageable, shiny, and silky without the weigh-down of sulfates or harsh chemicals.

Step 3: Get Your Beauty Sleep with a Leave-in Conditioner

Using a leave-in conditioner is a key step for reducing frizz. If you have time, turn your leave-in conditioner into an overnight hair treatment by applying it right before bed.

While you’re getting your nightly beauty sleep, tossing and turning in bed can cause friction with the pillow, which then equals unwanted frizz in your locks—but there’s an easy solution. Beauty aisles are filled with overnight hair masks that tame fly-aways and boost moisture, but there’s no need to invest in an all-new product to get the job done.

Apply your fave hair mask on dry or wet strands and wrap your hair in a scarf or shower cap before hitting the hay; then rinse the mask out in the morning. Since your hair is protected from friction and is absorbing a hydrating hair mask while you sleep, frizz and fly-aways will be kept at bay.

Final thoughts: How to get rid of frizz?

Getting rid of frizz once and for all doesn’t depend on a single product, but rather on a consistent routine. By using an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner, a weekly deep treatment, a smoothing serum, and better protection at night, you give your hair the best chance of staying smooth, soft, and silky.

The goal isn’t just to smooth the hair’s surface in the moment, but also to help the hair shaft stay better hydrated on a daily basis.

FAQ

What causes frizz in hair?
Frizz often occurs when hair is dry or dehydrated. Moisture in the air can then penetrate the hair shaft and cause strands to swell. In winter, dry air and static electricity can also contribute to frizz.
Why does hair get frizzier when it’s humid?
When the air is very humid, hair absorbs moisture from the environment, especially if it is already dry or dehydrated. This can cause the hair shaft to swell and make frizz worse.
What’s the best type of shampoo for frizz?
An anti-frizz shampoo designed to moisturize dry hair is generally a good option. L’Oréal Paris EverPure Iron Sleek anti-frizz shampoo is recommended to smooth fibers and provide a humidity-resistant shield for silky smooth hair.
How can you prevent frizz overnight?
You can apply a hair treatment or mask to dry or damp hair before bed, then cover your hair with a scarf or shower cap. This helps minimize friction against the pillow and lock in moisture.
Is an anti-frizz serum really effective?
Yes, an anti-frizz serum can be very useful for smoothing out flyaways and improving the appearance of your hair. It’s usually applied to damp hair after showering, but can also be used for touch-ups throughout the day. It’s a great step to add to your routine to help control frizz without weighing your hair down.
