Frizz occurs when there are broken gaps in the cuticle, the outermost layer of the hair. Gaps are often present when the hair is damaged so that parts of the cuticle stick out and up, as compared to healthy cuticle that is smooth. When parts of the cuticle are open, this causes the hair strands to be lifted away from each other, giving that characteristic frizz that one gets with dry, damaged hair.
The only remedy for frizzy hair would be to seal in the open gaps of the cuticle, effectively restoring it back to its smooth and natural state. Products that contain silicone such as dimethicone are best since they settle into the open gaps of the cuticle and seal in those gaps. It is important, however, to use a small amount of these products since they can be a bit greasy when too much is applied.
Using a small amount of anti-frizz product, emulsify between the hands before applying it onto the tips of the hair, moving upward. Avoid the hair nearest the scalp since putting product there will weigh the hair down. It is best to apply at the tips to smooth out the ends of the hair strands. It is also important to apply the product when it is completely dry so that the results are noticed right away.
