    Your hair will frizz our when you don't apply the proper product beforehand, use the proper brush, or section your hair. It also might look frizzy if you blow dry your hair without a nozzle.

    You can wear a cap so your hair doesn’t get damaged and get haircuts too. If you can, stay out of the pool more often.

    Apply it mostly the ends of your hair, as your roots already have a lot of oil naturally (unless your entire head is super dried out).

    Keep you hair tied up in a bun. This will help it stay less frizzy. You can also try to moisturize it more often.

    Can I put oil on my hair without getting pimples?

    Yes! If you're prone to breakouts, keep the oil away from the hair that touches your face. That way, it won't be able to clog your pores and give you any new pimples.

    What should I do if I have oily roots and dry ends?
    Hannah Madden
    Community Answer
    Try applying argan oil to the ends of your hair and using a dry shampoo on your roots if you aren't washing your hair that day. It sounds counterintuitive, but washing your hair less can actually lead to less oil over time, so try washing your hair every other day instead of every day to cut down on greasiness.

    Add some argan oil to the ends of your hair before you start styling. It will help tamp down frizz and flyaways before you even start. If your hair is still frizzy after curling it, try smoothing it down with hair wax or a thin layer of hairspray.

    How do you get rid of frizzy hair at home?

    Community Answer
    If you're dealing with frizzy hair right now, there are a few things you can do to try to tame it. One of the best ways to smooth down frizzy hair is to use argan oil. Put a few drops of argan oil on the palms of your hands and gently run it into the ends of your hair. Smooth down your ends to combat the frizz and make your hair look smooth and shiny. But try to avoid getting the oil on your scalp because it can make your hair look greasy. You can also try controlling your frizzy hair with hair wax, which will style and hold your hair's shape. Place a small amount in your palm and use your hands to smooth down any flyaways and frizzy areas. Hair wax won't make your hair look greasy if you get it on your scalp either, so feel free to apply it near your roots.

    How can I hydrate my hair?
    Drew Hawkins1
    Community Answer
    You can keep your hair healthy and hydrated by washing and conditioning it properly. Steer clear of products with silicones and sulfates, which can dry your hair out. Look for ingredients like essential oils, biotin, and herbal extracts instead. When you wash your hair, use warm, not hot, water. Hot water strips your hair of its natural oils and can make it frizzier. Whenever you wash your hair, apply a quarter-sized amount of conditioner from the middle to the ends of your hair. Leave the conditioner in for a solid 2-3 minutes and then rinse it out. You can also apply a deep conditioner about once a week to hydrate your hair even further and prevent dryness and frizziness.
