Five Steps to Fight Winter Frizz
It’s a widely known fact that the winter can turn hair into a frizzy, static-ridden mess. However, one truth that needs telling is there is more to curing the winter frizz blues than finding a miracle product. In fact, it’s an entire series of steps that must be taken to produce smooth, shiny hair with real staying power. Eufora Intl. Global Educator, Micky Hatoum, is also the owner of Altimo Hair Group Salon in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and is all too familiar with the effects of cold weather on hair. He offers five steps to help prepare your hair to contend with the harshest weather of the year.
Step 1: Start with a Great Cut – You owe it to yourself, but it’s also important to trim dry, dead ends to create a fresh canvas to work with. No product can bring those split ends back to life.
Step 2: Read Your Shampoo Bottle Label – Stay away from harsh surfactants that may cleanse hair but also strip it of moisture, strength, elasticity and its natural essential oils and proteins. Repetitive use ultimately results in dry, damaged and fuzzy hair. So now that you know it all starts at the shampoo bowl, be sure to ask your stylist to prescribe a care regimen tailored to your hair needs. Ingredients to watch out for include: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, and TEA Lauryl Sulfate.
Step 3: Learn the Correct Way to Blow-dry – There is a misconception that you should stop blow-drying when hair begins to frizz because it will become even fuzzier. Hair actually goes through a drying process of 5 steps – wet to damp to dry to frizz to silk. Don’t panic and continue blow-drying hair beyond the frizz point. Think of ironing clothes. The higher the heat, the easier it is to remove the wrinkles.
Step 4: Use the Proper Tools – By prepping damp hair with a styling fixative such as Eufora Smoothn’ Straightening Balm, you’ll create a canvas to work with that will give you lasting results. Also, a round vented brush with a metal or ceramic base works well to create volume and de-frizz hair when blow-drying. The dryer heats up the base and hair is literally sandwiched by heat, much like a curling or flat iron. For those with extremely coarse or curly hair, a ceramic boar bristle brush and is recommended because it condenses the hair so it is frizz-free and shiny.
Step 5: Choose a Healthy Finishing Product – Eufora’s Pure Polish Finishing Drops offer amazing frizz control and acts as a shine enhancing emollients due to silica derived, Phenyl Trimethcone, Cyclomethicone and Dimethiconol. In addition, the drops include a blend of refined botanical oils including Kukui Nut Oil and Aloe Leaf Extract and Vitamin E for antioxidant benefits.
