Frizzy Hair? Here’s How to Tame It with the Right Treatments

What is Frizzy Hair?

Frizzy hair is a common concern for many, especially in humid climates like Singapore. It’s more than just a cosmetic issue. Frizzy hair occurs when the hair cuticle, the outermost layer of the hair strand, lifts, allowing moisture from the environment to penetrate the hair shaft. Frizzy hair is hair that does not align with the surrounding strands—curling or standing up independently from the rest. This irregular or fuzzy texture can make hair look dry and unruly, making it difficult to manage. If you’re tired of dealing with frizz, it’s important to address both your scalp and your hair health to restore smoothness and shine.

What Causes Frizzy Hair?

Several factors contribute to frizzy hair, all of which result in the hair cuticle being lifted and allowing moisture from the environment to enter the strands. These factors include:
The dry cuticle becomes rough and open, allowing the outer layer of the hair to soak up moisture from the air. As a result, the hair swells and appears frizzy. High humidity levels cause hair to absorb excess moisture, leading to frizz and flyaways.
Friction from rough towel drying can also ruffle the hair cuticle, leading to frizz. Similarly, brushes with nylon bristles can cause the same effect. Instead of rubbing your hair, try blotting it with a towel and use gentler brushes to avoid further damage
Chemical treatments like perming, relaxing, and coloring weaken the hair structure, leading to dryness and frizz. The process strips away natural oils, leaving hair more susceptible to frizz and breakage.
Frequent use of heat styling tools such as blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons can damage the hair cuticle, making it more vulnerable to frizz. Heat strips the hair of moisture, leaving it looking dry and rough
Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of essential natural oils that help maintain moisture and prevent frizz. When hair becomes too dry from overwashing, it becomes more prone to frizz.

How to Repair Frizzy Hair?

Hydrate and Nourish Your Hair

Keeping your hair hydrated is key to preventing frizz. Use sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners that lock in hydration without stripping natural oils. DrScalp’s HydraBalance Shampoo is specially formulated to cleanse while maintaining scalp hydration, reducing frizz from the root.

Incorporate a Deep Conditioning Routine

Applying a deep conditioning mask once or twice a week helps repair damage, restore moisture, and smoothen hair strands. DrScalp Restoration Masque is uniquely formulated with a dual function to hydrate and repair conditions such as hair breakage, ultra-dryness, frizz and split-ends. This product is infused with precious Argan Oil, Vitamin E, and Brown Seaweed Extract to keep your hair moisturised and deeply restore hair structure.

Use Heat Protectants

Before using any heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant to create a barrier that reduces moisture loss and prevents cuticle damage. The DrScalp Restoration Hair Oil offers heat protection while keeping hair smooth and frizz-free.

Avoid Overwashing

Washing your hair too frequently can strip away essential oils, leading to dryness. Consider washing your hair every two to three days and using a gentle, scalp-friendly shampoo to keep your hair moisturised.

Yes, DrScalp’s Anti Frizz Hair Treatment is designed for various hair types, including straight, curly, thick, and long hair. The treatment offers personalised solutions to address specific concerns for each hair type.

DrScalp distinguishes itself through the use of Artificial Intelligence and Bio-Technology Science Solutions. Our advanced technology minimises errors, and lab-tested formulations enhance the efficacy of the treatment, delivering transformative and long-lasting results.
The longevity of the treatment varies among individuals. Generally, clients can enjoy reduced frizz and improved hair manageability for several weeks. For optimal results, we recommend a hair maintenance schedule of one session every 1-2 months.
Typically, you’ll be able to see improvements to the texture of your hair after just one treatment. The number of sessions needed for frizzy hair treatment varies based on individual factors. Consult with our experts to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your unique needs. For the purpose of maintenance, 1 treatment every 1 to 2 months should suffice.
To enhance and prolong results, follow a consistent hair conditioning routine with DrScalp’s recommended products. Additionally, protect your hair from excessive heat, use anti-frizz products, and avoid prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions.

Humid Climate (e.g., Singapore): Tropical weather can lead to frizz as dry hair cuticles absorb moisture, causing hair to swell.

Hot Water for Hair Washing: Hot water strips natural oils, leaving hair dry and prone to frizz.

Hair Products with Strong Chemicals: Chemicals in hair dyes for trendy colours can result in loss of lustre, breakage, and frizz.

Styling with Hot Tools: Prolonged use of hot styling tools can damage the hair cuticle, causing breakage and frizz.

Incompatible Hair Care Products: Choosing the wrong shampoo, conditioner, or hair mask can lead to dry, dull, and frizzy hair.

Hydration is Key:

  • Keep your hair well-hydrated by using a moisturising hair shampoo and conditioner.
  • Consider weekly deep conditioning treatments to restore moisture and reduce frizz.

Gentle Towel Drying:

  • Avoid vigorous towel drying, which can roughen up the hair cuticle and contribute to frizz.
  • Pat your hair gently with a microfiber or soft cotton towel to absorb excess water.

Use Anti-Frizz Products:

  • Incorporate anti-frizz hair products into your routine, such as serums or creams.
  • Look for products containing ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter for added moisture and frizz control.

Numerous hair care oils and serums flood the market, and the most highly praised products often feature a combination of key ingredients such as tea tree oil, jojoba oil, argan oil and grapeseed oil.

DrScalp’s Restoration series harnesses the power of carefully selected ingredients, prominently featuring the enriching properties of Argan Oil, often referred to as ‘Liquid Gold.’

As you age, various factors contribute to increased frizziness in hair. Natural ageing processes can lead to changes in the hair’s texture and structure, making it more prone to frizz. Hormonal shifts, particularly during menopause, may alter oil production, resulting in drier and frizz-prone hair. 

 

Additionally, cumulative environmental damage, exposure to styling practices over the years, and a decrease in the hair’s natural moisture-retaining abilities can collectively contribute to increased frizz as you get older. Adjusting your hair care routine to prioritise hydration, using anti-frizz products, and adopting gentle styling practices can help manage frizz associated with ageing hair.

Hair Botox is a rejuvenating treatment designed to transform frizzy hair into smooth, luscious locks. Unlike traditional Botox, this non-invasive procedure doesn’t involve needles but instead utilises a potent blend of proteins, amino acids, and vitamins. Applied to the hair, it penetrates the cuticle, repairing and nourishing from within. The formula acts as a filler for damaged areas, promoting hydration, restoring elasticity, and eliminating frizz. The result is silky, revitalised hair with enhanced shine. Hair Botox offers a long-lasting solution for those seeking to tame frizzy hair and achieve a manageable, salon-quality finish.

You can wash and style your hair immediately after the treatment. Enjoy the freedom of styling without the need for extended downtime. Our experts will provide guidance on maintaining your styled look for optimal results.

It’s recommended to avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater immediately after the treatment. After a brief period, you can resume normal activities, and our experts will guide you on post-treatment care for swimming.

While seeking medical attention may not be necessary for aftercare following an anti-frizz hair treatment, it is imperative to adhere to the aftercare guidelines provided by our experts. Consistent application of recommended aftercare practices is crucial for preserving and maximising the results of your hair treatment. This may involve incorporating a regular hair conditioning routine and diligently attending scheduled maintenance treatments.

While you can use regular products, we recommend our DrScalp Restoration Hair Oil and DrScalp Restoration Masque for enhanced results. These products complement the treatment, providing nourishment and maintaining the effects.
