Frizzy hair can be somewhat of an inconvenience and a hassle. The valuable time it takes to tame the frizz takes away from other activities - especially when traveling. During the summer months when humidity levels and the temperatures are higher, the struggle becomes even worse.

What Causes Frizzy Hair?

While most of us assume that frizzy hair is caused by too much moisture, it’s actually the dehydration that results in frizz. Frizz appears when the cuticle layer of the hair is raised, allowing moisture to pass through and dehydrate the strands while the natural oil flow from the Sebaceous glands on the scalp does not flow as it should. As a result, hair becomes dry and frizzy.

Top 8 Causes for Frizzy Hair:

Your hair is naturally dry or curly and is prone to frizz.
Your body is dehydrated because you are not drinking enough water and/or eating a balanced diet.
You are using hair styling tools (hair dryer, curling iron, etc) too often without a good heat protectant.
Hair care products that you are using contain alcohol and SLS, which can cause damage as well as dry out the hair.
The oils, serums and moisturizers that you are using are not penetrating the hair shaft.
Over-processed chemicals in your hair, such as high-lift dye or bleach, have damaged the hair cuticle.
The sebum oil that your scalp naturally secretes is not reaching the hair strands.
Medications you are taking are causing changes in your body that affect your hair texture.

So, why not buy an anti-frizz product from your local drug store? Unfortunately, most products that help fight frizzy hair contain additives and silicones that could be harmful to your health. Using a blend of natural oils and plant extracts is a healthier option - and much more effective - in winning the battle against frizz.

The Best Oils to TAME Frizzy Hair:

Sweet Almond Oil
Sweet Almond Oil is rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins. With a high concentration of magnesium, calcium, Vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, potassium and zinc, this amazing carrier oil can provide the hydration, moisture and nutrition your hair needs to stay healthy and prevent dryness. Almond oil coats the hair with a protective layer to help tame the frizz and protect the hair shaft from environmental damage.
To Fight Frizz and Add Shine: Rub a few drops between your palms and apply to towel dried hair - the result is smoother, softer and shinier strands that are protected from Frizz!
Sweet Almond oil is also a great carrier oil for dry scalp and hair loss treatments. If you’re experiencing dry scalp, try adding a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil or Neem oil to your Sweet Almond oil and massage it into the scalp in order to increase blood circulation and help battle flakiness and dandruff. If you suffer from hair loss, try adding a few drops of Peppermint, Rosemary and Lavender essential oils to help encourage hair growth and fight hair loss.
Castor oil
Castor oil is another great anti-frizz oil that helps to naturally tame the hair. It is rich in Vitamin E, minerals, proteins, and Omega 6 and 9 beneficial fatty acids and has natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. One key component of Castor oil is Ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid and natural humectant that helps to balance the scalp pH in order to replenish the scalp’s natural oils and reverse environmental damage. This key component can be beneficial to chemically treated hair as it protects it from becoming dry and brittle, while taming the frizz and treating split ends. The antioxidants in Castor oil also support the keratin in the hair and help make hair stronger, softer, smoother and less frizzy.
Grape Seed Oil
Grape Seed Oil is a lightweight oil that contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to build tissue and Linoleic acid, which promotes hair growth. Using grape seed oil in your hair care routine can help to restore strength and shine of the hair.
Also Grape Seed oil is lighter than olive or coconut oil which makes it ideal for moisturizing and conditioning dry hair because it won't leave your hair feeling greasy. Grape seed oil helps to lock in moisture and prevent frizz, split ends, and brittle hair.
