Frizz in the hair – a phenomenon that we struggle with every now and then! Find out where the frizz comes from and what you can do about it here.
How does frizz arise?
Just a moment ago your hair was well-groomed and supple – and suddenly it stands out uncontrollably in all directions? Then it's probably frizz! But what does that actually mean? 'Frizz' comes from English and means that the hair curls up. This makes the hair look dull and brittle and stick out. The cause: The outer layer of hair – the cuticle, also called the cuticle – is usually tight, similar to a closed pine cone. This makes the hair look nice and shiny.
Will the However, if the cuticle is damaged by external influences, the flakes of hair straighten up. This in turn leads to dry, brittle hair. To counteract the loss of moisture, the hair absorbs moisture from the environment, for example when it rains or when the air is very humid. If this moisture builds up under the flakes of hair, it leads to frizzy hair.
Frizz: This damages the cuticle of the hair
- Hair structure: Those who have naturally wavy, frizzy or curly hair are more likely to have problems with frizz than is the case with straight hair.
- Sunbathing: The sun dries out the hair and thus promotes frizz.
- Hair dye: Frequent coloring helps to roughen the hair structure.
- Styling tools: The frequent use of tools that work with heat, such as straightening irons or curling irons, attacks the structure of the hair. Therefore: Always think of heat protection before using straightening irons & Co.
- Electrostatic charge: Hats and sweaters ensure that the hair is charged. With the lack of moisture, the tension cannot be dissipated … the result: flying hair!
- Heating air: Dry heating air in the rooms and cold, wet weather outside offer the ideal conditions for frizz.
