HELP,

MY

HAIR

IS...

FRIZZY!

PRODUCT

PRESCRIPTION

“You should start with a smoothing shampoo

and conditioner, then a leave-in treatment

to nourish fl u y hair and even out the hair’s

porosity,” says ELEVEN Australia co-creative

director and Australian Hairdresser of the

Year, Joey Scandizzo. “Then apply an anti-

frizz cream to tame fl yaways. If your hair is

thick and coarse, you can apply this to damp

hair and let it dry naturally, or blow dry in.

NEVER,

EVER...

Underestimate

humidity! Use an

anti-humectant

product like a

shine serum.

For dull, frizzy hair that needs added shine,

you can use a leave-in shine serum to take

away frizz and add a healthy shine.” It’s best

to avoid products that make your hair go

crunchy, like gels, because when they set

they can make your hair look stringy. Go

for nourishing formulas that add the right

amount of weight to tame frizz and keep

your hair looking healthy.

CUT CORRECTION

“If your hair is really fl u y and frizzy, it’s

best to not have too many layers as your

hair can end up quite boofy,” says Scandizzo.

“If you like your hair longer but have a more

frizzy texture, leave layers longer so you get

some movement without the boof.” If you

prefer your hair shorter and have a frizzy

texture, try a pixie cut.” When your hair is

short in a style like this it’s easier to control

frizz, and you can just apply the right product

and make the most of your texture.”

STYLE RIGHT

You need to go for a style you can handle

doing yourself. “If you have blowdry skills,

you can wear your hair longer and smooth

it out, or apply a sea salt spray and wear it

with texture to create a beach hair vibe,”

says Scandizzo. Make sure you always dry

your hair 100 per cent; don’t half dry it as

this creates more frizz. Always use a nozzle

on your dryer and direct the heat downwards

to smooth down your hair, then use a fl at

iron to smooth out fl yaways. >
