Taming the frizz—Here’s how you can keep your flyaways and tangles at bay
Are you tired of using hair products that don't live up to their promises? It's time to take a closer look at the ingredients in your daily shampoo and conditioner. And before you do, have a look at these five game-changer ingredients you should be on the lookout for in your haircare routine for stronger and full-of-life tresses.
- Argan Oil
Argan oil, which is derived from the kernels of the argan tree, is a very hydrating oil. It contains fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants that can help moisturize and nourish your hair. Those who have dry or damaged hair will benefit most from argan oil because it can strengthen and mend the hair strands.
Search for shampoos, conditioners, and hair oils that contain argan oil for your hair. Your hair can benefit from these products' gloss and smoothness while also being shielded from the effects of other external environmental factors.
- Coconut Oil
Coconut meat, which has reached maturity, is used to make coconut oil, a very hydrating oil. It has a lot of fatty acids, which can get inside your hair and nourish it from the inside out. Your hair can have more shine, less frizz, and less breakage with the help of coconut oil.
Keep an eye out for coconut oil-containing hair products like oils, conditioners, and masks. These can help hydrate and nourish your hair, giving it a healthy look and feel.
- Glycerin
Glycerin is a humectant that pulls moisture from the air. This means that the presence of Glycerin in your daily shampoo and conditioner helps to keep your mane hydrated. Since it is a colorless and odorless ingredient, it does not alter the composition of a shampoo or conditioner. A common ingredient in most skin and hair products, Glycerin should be one of the prime ingredients your shampoo and conditioner must have!
- Sunflower Seed Oil
Sunflower Oil is rich in Vitamin E, Linoleic and Oleic Acids, and Sesame Oil which makes it capable of providing numerous benefits to your hair. It also has anti-inflammatory properties which can prevent an irritated or itchy scalp while also calming dandruff. A lot of hairdressers and stylists think that sunflower oil makes their hair feel more moisturized. Sunflower Oil is also very lightweight and thus its presence in your haircare routine won’t weigh down your tresses. Sunflower oil can be used sparingly to tame frizz in dry hair.
- Shea Butter
Shea nuts must first be harvested, cleaned, and prepared for the oil to be extracted before shea butter can be made. The insane anti-inflammatory properties of Shea butter help reduce redness and scalp irritation without clogging the pores. Shea Butter also aids in reducing hair breakage. Also, because it's natural, you may use it on any type of hair, including damaged, dry, or color-treated hair.
While choosing the products you may want to include in your hair care routine, ingredients are key as they determine the use and benefit of the product. You should research, experiment, and also seek expert advice if needed to find the ingredients that can work the best for your unique hair type.
