Many of us struggle with frizzy hair, especially during hot, humid days. Despite numerous anti-frizz products, it can feel like nothing works on particularly sweltering days. Understanding the origins of frizz is crucial for effective treatment. “Humidity, pollution, harsh products, and neglecting hair care are significant contributors to frizziness,” says Soumi Sarkar, Group Lead R&D at Love Beauty and Planet, Hindustan Unilever.
Understanding Frizzy Hair
Frizzy hair occurs when the hair cuticle is raised, allowing moisture to swell the strands. Causes include:
- Humidity: High levels cause hair to absorb moisture from the air.
- Heat Damage: Frequent use of heat styling tools damages the cuticle.
- Chemical Treatments: Coloring, perming, and straightening strip natural oils.
- Lack of Moisture: Dry hair is more prone to frizz without essential oils.
Effective Strategies To Control Frizz
To deal with frizzy hair, it’s best to opt for an anti-frizz range that is specially formulated to combat frizz. Here’s how you can incorporate an anti-frizz routine to get smooth, shiny hair.
Best Shampoo For Dry And Frizzy Hair
The Argan Oil & Lavender Shampoo is an excellent option for those struggling with dry and frizzy hair. Known for its hydrating properties, argan oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E. It deeply nourishes the hair shaft, helping to restore and maintain moisture balance. This reduces dryness and prevents the hair from becoming frizzy.
How to Use: Apply the shampoo to wet hair, gently massaging it into the scalp to create a rich lather. Rinse thoroughly.
Best Hair Conditioner
After shampooing, using a conditioner that detangles and smooths the hair is essential. Argan Oil & Lavender Conditioner is a fantastic choice for combating frizz. Similar to the shampoo, the argan oil in the conditioner deeply moisturizes the hair, helping to reduce dryness and smooth the cuticle. It also makes detangling hair a breeze and adds a beautiful shine.
How to Use: After shampooing, apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the scalp. Leave it in for a few minutes to allow the nourishing ingredients to penetrate the hair. Rinse thoroughly.
Hair Serum For Frizzy Hair
Hair serums are designed to smooth and add shine to your hair. They work by coating the hair surface, locking in moisture, and creating a barrier against humidity. The Argan Oil & Lavender Hair Serum is an excellent addition to your hair care routine for taming frizz. Argan oil provides deep hydration and helps to smooth the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and adding a healthy shine. It provides heat protection for up to 230℃* and reduces breakage by up to 99%.* Lavender adds a calming scent and helps you relax.
How to Use: Apply 2-3 drops of the hair serum to damp hair before styling. Focus on the ends and any frizzy areas, avoiding the roots to prevent greasiness.

If you frequently use heat tools for styling your hair, this hair mist is an essential addition to your routine. Formulated with pure argan oil and lavender, it ensures smooth, frizz-free hair and imparts a long-lasting, soothing fragrance. This Heat Protectant Mist protects your hair from heat damage up to 230℃* and offers frizz control for up to 48 hours*. It also keeps your hair conditioned and shiny.
