If Your Hair is Fine & Frizzy

Long-term commitment: “One of the biggest concerns with fine hair is keeping frizz and flyaways under control, particularly when it’s humid,” says Rodney Cutler, owner of Cutler/Redken salon in New York City. Fine hair can also tend to look dull and dried out, especially if you overprocess it. “If you color your hair, your best bet is to stay within one or two shades of your natural color to keep hair looking healthy and shiny,” says Cutler. Here’s how to keep fine hair in check:
1. Use a moisturizing shampoo to help hydrate hair and calm frizz.
2. Apply conditioner from the mid-shaft to the ends to seal the cuticle and promote shine.
3. Towel-dry, then apply a lightweight mousse from roots to ends to increase volume.
4. Split hair into three sections (back: hair near the nape of neck; center: ear to ear; top: temple to temple).
5. Blow-dry the back section first with a large round brush (use one with both boar and nylon bristles to help smooth hair while adding volume). Guide the brush and the nozzle of your blow dryer from roots to ends to get the cuticle to lie flat. Repeat these steps for the other two sections.
No, No, No! Stay away from sticky hairsprays—they’re too drying for fine hair. Also, wash your hair every other day so you don’t deplete natural oils that fight frizz.
Pro Tip: To restore volume and make a blowout last longer, sleep with hair in a high, loose bun. In the morning, release the bun and shake out hair with fingers.
