Frizzy hair can be the cause of a dreaded bad hair day for both men and women. Particularly for individuals with curly hair, frizziness may be caused by high humidity or dryness in the hair shaft or cuticle. Dry hair frizz is worsened by harsh hair products, processing and overstyling. Stress, illness and even some medications also cause hair to frizz. However, all-natural and store-bought hair cream treatments with the right ingredients can smooth frizzy hair.
Coconut Hair Cream
This cream hair treatment contains coconut milk proteins that nourish and strengthen dry, frizzy hair. Coconut hair cream also contains natural oils to moisturize dry hair and smooth frizz. This natural ingredient is used in many hair masks and conditioners.
Aloe Vera Cream
Aloe vera creams work well to control frizz because aloe has natural moisture-retaining properties. It also heals the scalp and strengthens hair roots. Look for hair smoothing creams that contain aloe vera, or try aloe skin cream as a hair mask.
Silicone Hair Treatments
Leave-in cream hair products that contain the ingredient silicone help to decrease frizz. Silicone works by layering a protective seal over the hair cuticles. This helps to prevent moisture loss and sun damage that cause dry, frizzy hair. It also instantly adds silkiness to frizzy hair and is available as a cream, gel and in hair conditioners.
Mayonnaise Hair Cream
This cream hair treatment may not sound appetizing, but it is an inexpensive and simple way to deeply condition damaged, frizzy hair. Mayonnaise contains oil and egg proteins that moisturize hair and improve texture. Slightly warm 1 or 2 tbsp. of mayonnaise in the microwave and massage it into the hair from roots to tips. Cover the hair with plastic wrap or an old shower cap and wait for 30 minutes before shampooing.
Banana and Almond Oil Cream
For silky-smooth hair, try this all-natural hair cream mask that is good enough to eat. Combine half a peeled banana and 2 tbsp. of almond oil (or olive oil) and apply to hair and scalp. Cover with plastic wrap or an old shower cap and wait for 30 minutes to an hour before washing out. The vitamins and minerals in the banana nourish the hair and scalp, while the almond oil moisturizes and seals the hair cuticles. For best results, wrap a warm towel over the plastic wrap or shower cap; the heat helps the hair absorb the cream treatment.
