The Right Techniques Lead to Frizz-Free Results
While healthy hair and tools are a big part of frizz-free hairstyles, expert techniques are the foundation. Here are a few of our favorite tips designed to cut down frizz and deliver smoother, sleeker styles.
-
Rough dry the hair to about 80%, depending on hair type, before using a brush
-
Always section for control based on hair type/texture and brush size. Smaller sections mean more consistent heat distribution.
-
Paddle brushes are great to smooth or wrap-dry before reaching for a hot tool.
-
Choose lower heat settings and go over each section slowly, not repeatedly.
