Say Goodbye to Frizzy Hair With These 9 Anti-Frizz Salon Treatments
Humid summer days can cause flyaways and messy hair. To help combat this, L'OFFICIEL has rounded up 9 salon treatments to help you beat the frizz this summer season.
Few of us can make frizz look cute. For many women, frizz is considered the #1 hair enemy. But before finding solutions to it, we first need to understand what causes it. Although some people are born with naturally frizzy hair, there are some external factors that increase frizz.
"The main cause of frizz is a lack of moisture in your hair," says hair expert and founder of haircare brand Crown Affair, Dianna Cohen. "When you see frizz, it's literally your hair reaching to the sky for more moisture! The hair fiber is seeking out and looking to absorb moisture from the air, which is why your hair frizzes more in humid climates."
Even straighter hair can fall victim to frizz on a humid summer day. Considering this, it's important to avoid washing your hair with extremely hot water and in hot weather. Small habits like towel-drying or touching your hair too frequently will also increase frizz by generating friction that encourages the hair to stand in an upward position. Additionally, harsh products and heat styling tools are also prone to frizzing the hair. On the same note, you should also avoid overwashing your hair, since it will strip you of the natural oils your hair needs to be healthy and cause frizz.
While taking the steps to implement a healthy hair care routine may seem overwhelming, Cohen recommends having a set routine that will actively hydrate your hair. Cohen recommends using specially made products from Crown Affair that will help prevent dryness, damage, and hair loss while also thoroughly cleaning your hair.
"The best place to start is with the Towel, The Leave-In, and The Oil. The Towel will absorb the dampness out of your hair in a fraction of the time while reducing frizz and breakage compared to other towels," explains Cohen. "If you don’t use a hair towel on your hair, the fibers remain heavy and damp— they won’t take the product as well and the results of your air dry will be very different. Leave-in conditioner is an emollient and hair oil is an occlusive— it takes the moisture and locks it all in, leaving you with healthy, hydrated hair. Remember that frizz is your hair reaching to the sky for more moisture, so give it a drink with a few drops of The Oil."
In addition to Cohen's curated hair-care routine, there’s plenty of treatments you can try. From a Brazilian Blowout to Kérastase’s Fusio-Dose, there are a variety of options to help you tame the flyaways and have your hair looking smooth and sleek this summer. Instead of trying to fix the problem at home on your own, L’OFFICIEL has rounded up the best anti-frizz salon treatments that will help you achieve the hair of your dreams. Bye bye, frizz.
Per their website, this anti-frizz treatment creates “a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle.” Additionally, you can choose to opt for stick-straight hair or to keep your curls. Either way, say goodbye to your frizzy hair. While results may vary, your new frizz-free hair can last up to 12 weeks.
As Cohen mentioned, The Crown Affair's Leave-In Conditioner works to lock moisture into the hair so that your strands stay healthy, shiny, and moisturized. The product is infused with Tsubaki Seed Oil, which works to reduce any frizz that your hair may have. This product is especially ideal for hair that's prone to getting dry once it hits the air. If you feel a brittle texture starting to take form on your hair after a shower, apply some of Crown Affair's The Leave-In Conditioner to further hydrate and heal your hair.
You might have heard the word keratin thrown around before, but what does it actually mean? Keratin is a type of protein found naturally in skin, hair, and nails. A salon keratin treatment, like this one from Keratin Complex, will work to seal additional keratin into the hair, combating frizz, and giving the hair a silky smooth look in the process. The results can last anywhere from six weeks to five months, making this option a top contender for best anti-frizz aalon treatment.
This 5-minute salon treatment (yes, it only takes five minutes) is completely personalized and tailored to your hair needs and goals. The treatment, comprised of a Concentré and a Booster, has over 36 possible combinations. The Booster Discipline, in particular, works to fight frizz and give your hair that sleek, Kim Kardashian a la Met Gala 2017 hair.
This treatment also makes use of keratin. But not just any keratin... this keratin is extracted from the wool of sheep in New Zealand. As for the process itself, upon arrival at the salon, your stylist will wash and rinse your hair normally. The next steps? Your stylist will apply the product, followed by 20 minutes of sitting under heat. Once that's complete, your hair will be styled, and boom. No more frizz.
Amika Virgin is different from other Amika products you can purchase in stores like Sephora. The idea behind the product? To get your hair back to its virgin-like state—before the use of heat and before any other chemical processes. This two-step process anti-frizz salon treatment can help the hair get closer to its natural state, reducing frizz in the process.
Kerazon hair botox offers a solution for damaged hair, enriching it with replenishing ingredients like keratin and collagen. Designed to condition and fortify hair fibers, this treatment effectively reduces frizz while providing essential protection. Despite its name, hair botox doesn't involve actual botox; rather, it provides an infusion of nutrients, that help revitalize your hair, to make it smoother and healthier. Try this treatment for a nourishing boost that gives life to your hair and provides a full restoration.
Cysteine is a form of hair protein that is also the building block of keratin. Specifically formulated to replenish depleted protein levels in the hair, it works wonders for improving overall hair condition. Suitable for all hair types, including thin and curly hair, the Cysteine treatment effectively repairs and tames frizz, resulting in more manageable and shinier hair.
Inphenom, a renowned Japanese haircare brand, specializes in hair repair targeting the cortex and outer cuticle for overall revitalization of the hair. This deep-conditioning treatment works from within, effectively restoring chemically processed hair to its original glossy condition. By rehydrating and revitalizing the hair instantly, Inphenom’s formula ensures a transformative anti-frizz salon treatment experience, leaving your hair with a smooth and replenished feel.
And in case you don't have time to go to the salon, a hair oil and a moisturizing mask can help keep the frizz at bay.
