We all want that shiny, voluminous hair that we see in those shampoo commercials every day, don’t we? 

It almost looks like the hair has a life and personality of its own. 

Sadly, not all of us are gifted with such luscious hair. Exposure to sunlight and pollutants leaves us with dry tresses, split and frayed ends, tangles, frizz, and flyaways. 

No matter how many flyaway hair products we experiment with, nothing seems to work.

But that is partly because we don’t take the time to understand the root cause of dry and frizzy hair. Unless you know what causes frizz and flyaways, you will not be able to decide which flyaway products or anti-frizz products work best for your hair. 

The idea is not to hide the frizz and flyaways but to get rid of them entirely.

Understanding the Causes of Frizz and Flyaways

Frizzy hair is usually a result of dryness. Your hair may be naturally dry and frizzy, appearing puffed up and dead. Frizzy hair tends to have a lot of flyaways, irregular waves, and a coarse texture. 

It does not lay flat and smooth like straight, healthy hair. The frizz can get worse in both dry and humid climates.

On a dry day, you will likely experience a lot of static electricity causing your hair to puff up further with a lot of flyaway hair. 

On humid days, frizzy hair absorbs a lot of moisture because of its dry and porous nature, causing the hair to swell up. 

So, no matter what kind of climate you live in, frizzy hair can be a nightmare.

Frizzy hair caused by hair damage

Even if your hair is naturally healthy, external factors can turn it frizzy if you don’t take good care. 

Often, hair that goes through frequent heat treatments, chemical treatments, sun exposure, and similar damage tends to dry out over time. 

Naturally straight and silky hair may also turn lifeless and frizzy if it is not cared for.

The simplest of things like washing hair with hot water or using the wrong hairbrushes can cause your cuticles to be damaged or remain open for longer, increasing the frizz.

How to Choose the Right Flyaway Hair Products: A Complete Guide

If you are happy with your naturally frizzy hair, there is absolutely no need to tame those flyaways. 

But if you need smoother hair, it is possible to reduce frizz and flyaway hair with the right products and hair care routine. However, when choosing flyaway or frizz control products, you need to know what to look for. 

Here are a few tips for you.

Smoothening properties

If you are looking for enhanced straightness in your hair and a sleek appearance, you need a frizz control product with good smoothening properties. 

The smoother your hair is, the straighter it will appear. This may not work on very curly or very frizzy hair. 

But if you have slightly wavy hair that is just dry or has a lot of flyaways, a smoothing serum or hair mask should be a good choice.

Frizz control in humid climates

Humid weather calls for extra frizz control. If you are looking for a flyaway hair product that can control your frizz in humid environments, you need something that is hydrating and offers humidity protection.

Frizzy hair absorbs more moisture in humid weather. A product that keeps your hair hydrated will not let it absorb moisture anymore, controlling the frizz as a result.

Damage repair

If you have naturally straight hair that has become frizzy due to damage, you need products that can repair your hair. 

Once you have overcome the damage, your hair will go back to its healthier, smoother state if you continue to care for it. Look for flyaway hair products that are ‘revitalizing,’ ‘repairing,’ or ‘fortifying.’ 

Also, go for hair products that protect against heat and sunlight to maintain regained health.

Curl control

Curly and naturally frizzy hair is the hardest to tame. If you use products that are too heavy, it may weigh your hair down and make your curls look less appealing. Something too light may not do anything for your frizz at all. 

A study conducted in 2017 reveals that women with curly hair spend 100% more on hair care products to tame their locks. So why not spend on something that is made specifically for you? 

Go for frizz control products that are made especially for curly hair. These products give your hair sufficient moisture to prevent tangles and flyaways while maintaining the beautiful texture and bounce of curly hair. 

Must-Have Flyaway Hair Products for Frizzy Hair

Here are some flyaway hair products you should have in your hair care kit to give your hair much-needed moisture for frizz control. 

Hair conditioners

First and foremost, you need to realize that hair dries out after washing. And without a good conditioner, your shampoo may be doing more harm than good to your hair. 

Make it a point to condition your hair after every wash. Choose an organic hair conditioner that is deeply hydrating and nourishing.  

Our pick – WOW Skin Science Coconut and Avocado Natural Hair Conditioner. 

It has the goodness of avocado oil and coconut oil that are both hydrating and moisturizing. This natural conditioner rebuilds your hair and softens it overtime to make it look full of life.

Hair masks

Another critical part of your frizz-control hair care routine should be hydrating hair masks. Hair masks have a deep-conditioning effect.

When used along with hair conditioners, hair masks can remove frizz from even the driest locks. 

You can either go for an organic product or create your own DIY hair mask at home.

Our picks – Yogurt hair masks. 

Yogurt by itself has an intense hydrating property. To create a yogurt hair mask, add some more nourishing and moisturizing ingredients to it, such as olive oil, honey, and aloe vera gel. 

Mix all the ingredients well. Apply the mask to your hair from root to tip and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Then wash it off with a mild, frizz-free shampoo. The difference in your hair texture will be noticeable.

WOW Coconut Milk Hair Mask

This hair mask has a nourishing blend of active ingredients that strengthen and smoothen your hair, giving it health and shine.

Hair oils

For frizz control, no other flyaway hair product will work better than a good old oil massage. Get yourself a bottle of a 100% organic hair oil of your choice and use it on your scalp and hair regularly for natural frizz control.

Our picks – Coconut oil. 

The hydrating properties of coconut oil are known to us all. Coconut oil not only hydrates and smoothens your hair, but it also makes hair naturally healthier and accelerates hair growth. 

Using it is simple as well. Just massage your scalp and hair with warm coconut oil at bedtime and wash it off in the morning. 

The antifungal and antibacterial properties of coconut oil will rid you of scalp problems as well.

WOW Skin Science Moroccan Argan Oil

Moroccan Argan Oil helps rejuvenate thin, dry, and unmanageable hair, replenishing moisture and nourishing it naturally. It can work wonders against split ends and frizz.

Leave-in conditioners

A good frizz control hair spray or leave-in conditioner can be a quick solution for frizz and flyaway control. 

Leave-in conditioners seal the cuticles on your hair strands and lock in the moisture in them. You will find many synthetic frizz-control hair sprays, but we recommend going for something organic and natural to prevent any more damage to your hair.

Our pick – WOW Skin Science 10-in-1 Hair Revitalizer Spray

The ingredients include extra virgin olive oil, sweet almond oil, Moroccan Argan oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E, among others. 

All the ingredients in this product help revitalize dry hair, tame frizz, and flyaways and reduce split ends while also strengthening the roots.
