However, frizziness is mostly seen in women with curly hair. Here are some tips to keep frizziness at bay.
Wash and Condition
- If you wash your hair daily, dilute shampoo with an equal amount of water. · While shampooing, use your fingertips to shampoo gently. Rubbing could lead to more frizziness and breakage.
- Use a daily conditioner to keep hair moisturised. Finger-brush your hair while the conditioner is in it and then rinse with cold water.
- Alternatively, put a hot towel after applying conditioner on your hair. This could help in keeping the curls soft. After five minutes, rinse hair gently.

Dry, Comb and Scrunch!
