#1 Wet your hair
Many people make the mistake of shampooing their hair without making it wet. However, just as the washing machine requires you to soak your clothes before adding the detergent, you need to wet your hair before applying shampoo.

#2 Rinse in warm water
Rinsing your hair in warm water before applying shampoo opens up your hair cuticles, thus making it good for removing dirt or any product buildup that has accumulated in your hair before absorbing the oil in your conditioner.

#4 Don’t skip the conditioner
A common mistake that's easily missed by everyone, remember to use your conditioner! Conditioner helps deposit moisture, thus preventing your hair cuticles from from opening up and letting more moisture in and turning it frizzy.

#5 Rinse with cooler water
Once you're done with conditioning your hair, remember to rinse with cold or room temperature water instead of hot water. This seals your hair cuticles, making it harder for moisture to enter your hair follicles.

#6 Heat isn’t all bad
Once you're done with the first 5 steps, remember to blow-dry your hair. Heat is required to tame a frizzy hair. While too much of it won't get rid of the probem, a moderate amount of blow-drying after a good hair wash would gurantee longer lasting control.

The professionals share their ultimate secrets to keeping the frizz at bay.

Frizzy hair is mostly caused by a lack of moisture in the cuticle, but humidity can also definitely be a contributing factor. “Your hair loses moisture throughout the day, so midday, the cuticle (the outermost layer on your strands) opens up and lets the outside air in, creating a frizzy mess,” celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend explains.

In Singapore’s tropical weather, frizzy hair is a real concern for many women. Without the right shampoo and conditioner, the moisture in the air can easily get absorbed by your hair, causing it to frizz up. We all know frizzy hair is hard to love. It’s not sleek and silky, it’s not curly and adorable, and it’s not wavy and sexy. It’s just… frizzy!

Time to tame that head of hair

With frizzy hair, you live in fear of rain, humidity or even perspiration, which can cause your hair to become even fuller and wilder. For many, frizzy hair is a daily battle. For others, it can be an occasional problem. In either case, it’s frustrating for those who want shiny, silky and bouncy hair. Frizzy hair can look dull and be very difficult to style. Regular use of a blow dryer, swimming in chlorinated water, and certain chemicals in hair care products are things that can also contribute to the problem.

The John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner can help to moisturise and hydrate your hair by preventing excess water from being absorbed. The experts from John Frieda have also whispered some secrets into our ears. Here are their proposed 6 steps to preventing damaged and frizzy hair.
