4 Causes of Wet Frizz

Which one of these issues do you think is causing your wet frizz? Here’s what to do ⤵️

1️⃣ Buildup
Clarifying on a regular basis is important to “reset” curls. If you have product buildup, use a clarifying shampoo.
If you have hard water in your home (a large majority of people do), those minerals can buildup on your hair and cannot be removed with regular shampoos. Hard water buildup requires a special type of clarifying shampoo called a “chelating” shampoo.

My favorites:

2️⃣ Dryness
If you’re not deep conditioning on a regular basis, your curls will likely become dry. Lack of moisture will cause wet frizz. Always deep condition after using a clarifying shampoo to restore moisture.

3️⃣ Tangles
Tangles are on of the biggest culprits of wet frizz when you’re styling. Simply scrunching in some product doesn’t always cut it because there are often small tangles within your curl clumps like I showed here.
Using a brush to style is the best way to smooth these tiny knots or rouge hairs out.

4️⃣ Lack of hold
If your gel or mousse doesn’t dry with a “cast” or that crunch, then it’s not strong enough hold. Hold is what keeps the curls defined and prevents frizz. Don’t be afraid of the crunch because you can scrunch it out once dried. If your gel is strong enough hold, your hair shouldn’t frizz up after scrunching it out.

And porosity. If you have low porosity this can happen. You must completely soak your head in warm water under the shower until it all aborbs (which can be minutes) before washing so it shampoo can penetrate properly to remove build up. And also use heat during the deep conditioning and leave in stage

I think another thing that helps (if it's hard or salty water), is rinsing your hair with bottled water (just the final rinse).

For thin hair, mousses that form a cast are even better! I’m in love with not your mother’s curl mousse, been using it for years and when I use it right, it never lets me down

I thought I had a bunch of split ends because poofy hair… so I cut a lot. Haha but it seems it’s just not enough moisture or gel for my 3b hair. It’s so difficult to tell if it’s too much moisture or protein, or if it’s split ends and damage, or because im not often using gel. I can’t win 🤷‍♀️

Wearing tight hairstyles like slick backs can also cause this. I had to learn that the hard way.

My hair is straight but it's curly and frizzy after a 🚿/🛁
Do you have idea why my hair is like that?

[joliax]

[cristyalicea]

I need to invest in a shower filter. My water isnt doing my hair any justice

[mollyoxy]

or if you have coarse, thick stranded hair like me

Does Moroccanoil hydrating shampoo and conditioner work as clarifying?

[sinaroja]

I feel like my hair hate conditioner though. I use the 50/50 balancing clarifying shampoo then I used Lusbrands conditioner. I used curlsmiths protein feather light cream and briogeos protein gel. My hair is extreamly soft no cast formed and my hair is extreamly limp and frizzy. I know my hair loves protein but I have to use conditioner every now and then and when I do my hair looks horrible. When I dont my hair is hard to come and style but my curls look amazing. Any help would be sooo appreciated ❤❤

And what in the hell is hard water? I swear, i miss the old times when water is just water.

[tracysmith]

my hair is severely matted and tangled at the roots in the shower no matter how much i detangle, no matter how much water or conditioner i use, no matter how much moisture or protein. i feel so defeated that i cried in the shower. ive only had two good wash days in the past 2 months and i have no idea what i did right bc it seemed to have been on accident. my hair sometimes takes forever to dry and sometimes dries in 5 minutes. i seriously debated shaving my head today

[ciaralee]

It was hard find someone with hair like mine I hacked it n was crying it's all different lengths it's dead from me colouring it black and straightening it hard everyday coz I hated it . Are you serious I think I have Curley hair 😮

I'm so confused what my hair type is. My hair's always frizzy. So obviously I tried a wavy/curly routine. It formed into 2a/2b waves, but after a day or so it went right back to straight. I tried a lot of different products so it vould hold up better, but nothing worked. The only thing I noticed is that my hair wasn't as frizzy when I did a wavy routine. I did notice that while I was trying different wavy routines and products my hair started to get damaged and started thinning. So I went back to straight routines and my hair is frizzy again. And I tried every tip people gave to stop frizz, but nothing works. I just don't get it. I don't know what type my hair is. If you have any suggestions please tell me!
