Hair care techniques for managing frizz and protecting styles

Managing hair frizz and maintaining hairstyles involves addressing moisture levels and reducing friction. Frizz is primarily caused by dryness, humidity, and damage to the hair cuticle, which causes strands to swell and roughen. Effective management strategies include using hydrating shampoos, regular deep conditioning, applying leave-in conditioners, and using oils or serums to seal in moisture.

To preserve hairstyles like blowouts overnight, reducing friction against pillowcases is essential. Using a durag—a satin or silk head covering—can provide gentle, uniform compression that keeps hair smooth and protected from the movement and friction that typically disrupt styles during sleep.
