Taming the frizzies And handle oily hair

Oily Hair

Unfortunately, fine, thin hair is the most prone to looking oily. Try washing your hair daily with a mild shampoo that doesn't contain conditioners - usually labelled 'for oily hair' or 'clarifying' - these products will leave the least amount of residue on your hair. Afterwards, use a very light cream rinse or conditioner on just the ends of your hair (if necessary), and be sure to rinse it out thoroughly. Avoid all products containing silicone, oils or lanolin, as well as two-in-one products - these can be too heavy and oily for fine hair. During the day, comb your hair a few times to help redistribute oils and reduce thin hair's stringy appearance. Or, for a more serious case of oily locks, spritz a little water on your hair and blow-dry it using a comb to remove and redistribute oils - the heat of the dryer will make the oils easier to manipulate. Good luck.

Frizzy Hair

Certainly. Humidity often causes the frizzies and, since there's not much you can do about the weather, it's best to use products that contain silicone - they will help keep your hair under control. If your hair is still frizzy, even when it's not damp outside, you might be handling your hair too much. Here's a trick: After you wash your hair, gently squeeze out excess moisture with a towel - never rub it dry, as excess friction can damage or break off hair. When you blow-dry your hair, use a soft, natural-bristle round brush (after your hair is partially dried), and be sure to dry your hair completely. During the day, don't brush your hair - just use a wide-toothed comb when necessary or, better yet, use your fingers. A tiny drop of silicone serum, available at your local chemist, will also help tame the frizz.
