I don't profess to be someone who knows a ton about beauty tips, in fact, I know next to nothing. However, I do know how to avoid having some crazy frizzy hair! I don't know what it is about thin hair, but I sure seem to have frizz like crazy on certain days, particularly when I let my hair air dry.
can you feel her pain? I know I've looked like this at times. :)
It drives me nuts and I just don't love how it looks. However, something my mom heard about a few years ago has completely saved my bad frizzy hair days in a matter of seconds! So what is this magical thing? Well, I'll tell you. It's olive oil.
Any kind of olive oil will do the trick. I've tried both light and regular, and haven't noticed a difference. I didn't buy this brand on purpose either, so don't think it has to be this kind to work. :)
Apparently olive oil can do some pretty great things, but what I think is still a bit of secret is that just a tiny bit put on dry hair can completely calm your frizz.
You will want to do this on dry hair, and you have to be so careful to not put too much on your hair or else you will look like one greasey haired lady. (especially if you have thinner hair like me!) The trick is to only put a tiny bit on your hands first, about the size of a dime (or even less. we're talking like hardly any.) Rub both hands together. Your palms should be slightly wet and shiny. Then, lightly run them over your hair. Don't press too firmly. If you've used too much, you will definitely notice right away. You will want to be most careful around your bangs, because those get greasy faster on their own anyway. I'm not trying to scare you, just making sure you have all the facts. :) It works so well it's worth it, I promise!
I typically only put it on my hair once. I occasionally will use it twice if the frizz is harder to control. Make sure you check the expiration date as well, because otherwise you'll smell a little funny. :)
There you have it. Olive oil is a life saver for me and my frizz. It's fast, easy, and makes your hair look awesome and shiny. I highly reccomend it. :)
(For the record, I buy a separate olive oil for hair than the one I use for cooking, but the choice is yours!)
Also- Bonus tip! (thanks Kate for reminding me!)
Coconut oil works wonders for frizzy hair as well. I specifically use the product below for fly-always, and it's awesome. It also lasts for like ever. :) You can buy it here.
I hope this helps chase your bad frizzy hair days away. :)
