#Consider using a hydrating mask once a week. If you’re having serious troubles with frizzy hair every day, you might want to consider using a hydrating mask once a week. You can buy your own hydrating mask at a hair salon or you can have a professional apply it to your hair. Apply the amount that the bottle recommends to towel dried hair and let it soak in for 5-7 minutes. | #Consider using a hydrating mask once a week.

| − | #Try a sulfate-free shampoo. You should look for a shampoo that is labeled as being sulfate-free and that has a large amount of glycerin. The higher up glycerin is in the ingredients list, the more concentrated it is in the shampoo. This combats frizz by hydrating the hair shaft.<ref | + | #Try a sulfate-free shampoo.

| − | #Go light on the shampoo. Shampoo strips hair of its natural oils. Only use a dime sized blob for shoulder length hair. Use more or less if your hair is longer or shorter Make sure to wash the soap out thoroughly. <ref> http://www.modernmom.com/2d5995b8-051f-11e2-9d62-404062497d7e.html </ref> | + | #Go light on the shampoo.

#* If your hair is very dry at the ends, a hot oil conditioner can work wonders. After conditioning you should rinse all your hair under cold water for one minute to relax the follicles. Then wrap it up under a towel. | #* If your hair is very dry at the ends, a hot oil conditioner can work wonders.

| − | #Replace shampoo with conditioner twice a week. You don’t need to use shampoo every day, and conditioner will help clean your hair without stripping it of its natural oils, which is what shampoo does. If your hair is frizzy every day after using shampoo it’s probably a sign you are using it either too much or too often.<ref | + | #Replace shampoo with conditioner twice a week.

#Let your hair air dry. Some recommend letting your hair dry 90% of the way and then blow-drying it. Too much hot air dries out your hair and causes it to become frizzier. | #Let your hair air dry.

#Use a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush. Consider using a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush if your hair is extremely tangled. This will prevent frizz because you won't be pulling at knots in your hair and causing damage. At some point you should take the time to get those knots out with a finer brush, but if you need to head to a party without frizzy hair a wide-tooth comb will do the trick. | #Use a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush.
