Frizz: the mistake to avoid when drying your hair according to a hairdresser: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

Whether you have straight, curly or frizzy hair, you probably have a little frizz here and there this season, partly because of the humidity… But also because of poor styling technique. To avoid the formation of these little unruly hairs, it is initially advisable to adopt hair care products dedicated to this problem. There are also certain simple actions to adopt on a daily basis: the hairdresser Matt Loves Hair, who makes advice videos on his Tik Tok account, gave his tip to avoid getting it when you dry your hair. And it also revealed the very common error that causes frizz.

Hairdryer: the common mistake that causes frizz

The hair specialist, who has already given very effective techniques for gaining volume on fine hair, does not recommend drying your hair with sudden movements by shaking the hairdryer at the roots, as this causes the appearance of frizz.

Instead, he suggests “create tension with the hands” in terms of length “by directing the air downward”. That is to say, he passes his locks between his fingers and gently pulls to the ends. And for good reason : “When you remove the moisture, you also begin the styling process in the direction you want to blow dry.” indicates the expert. This way, when you subsequently blow-dry your hair once your hair is damp or completely dry, you save time. The ideal is also to have a precise tip which allows heat to be distributed in a localized manner.

Some tips to prevent frizz from forming

To avoid this often unsightly phenomenon, it is advisable to choose specific shampoos and conditioners that control the appearance of frizz. When you get out of the shower and have wet hair, apply an anti-frizz and heat protectant spray to discipline your hair fiber, which will greatly facilitate the styling stage. Finally, after blow-drying, curling or straightening, apply a styling oil or serum to the roots and ends. And no more unruly little hairs.
