💧 1. Use a Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner

Frizzy hair = thirsty hair. Using products with ingredients like coconut oil, argan oil, or shea butter can help lock in moisture and smooth things out.

🧴 Minnie’s Picks:

  • Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo & Conditioner
  • OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Range
  • Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Shampoo

💡 Tip: Avoid shampoos with sulfates – they dry your hair out!

💆‍♀️ 2. Dry Your Hair the Right Way

Towels can cause friction, which makes frizz worse.

Try this instead:

  • Use a microfibre towel or a soft cotton t-shirt to dry your hair
  • Pat gently – don’t rub!
  • Let it air dry when possible

💨 3. Don’t Skip Leave-In Conditioner or Hair Oil

Leave-ins and light oils seal in moisture and keep frizz from forming.

  • Cantu Leave-In Conditioning CreamSalam Bhai,

💡 Use a tiny bit and scrunch it into your ends when your hair is damp!

☀️ 4. Protect Hair from Heat + Humidity

Frizz loves humid weather. Heat styling without protection? Even worse.

✅ Use:

  • A heat protectant spray before straightening, curling, or blow drying
  • Anti-humidity sprays if the weather’s doing the most

  • Tresemmé Heat Defence Spray
  • John Frieda Frizz Ease Spray

🛏️ 5. Sleep Smart!

  • Loose braid or bun to stop breakage
  • Silk scrunchie instead of regular hair ties

A once-a-week hair mask can transform dry, frizzy hair into smooth, shiny strands.
