Few hair concerns are as frustrating as frizz. One minute your hair looks smooth and polished, and the next it seems to have a mind of its own. While many people blame the weather, frizz is often a sign that your hair is lacking moisture, protection, or the right care routine.
The good news? Once you understand what causes frizz, it's much easier to manage.
What Actually Causes Frizz?
Frizz happens when the outer layer of the hair, known as the cuticle, becomes raised. When this happens, moisture from the air can enter the hair shaft, causing it to swell and appear fluffy, rough, or unruly.
Several factors can contribute to frizz, including:
- Humidity
- Heat styling
- Overwashing
- Dehydration
- Colour treatments
- Chemical processing
- Using the wrong haircare products
- Rough towel drying
Even naturally curly or wavy hair can become frizzy when it isn't receiving enough moisture and nourishment.
Why Hydration Is So Important
One of the most effective ways to reduce frizz is to focus on hydration.
Hair that is properly moisturised is less likely to absorb excess moisture from the environment, which helps keep the cuticle smooth and controlled.
The Davines MOMO range is ideal for dry and dehydrated hair, helping to restore moisture and softness while improving overall manageability. Regular hydration can make a noticeable difference in how smooth and healthy your hair looks.
Choosing The Right Products
Using products specifically designed for frizz-prone hair can help transform your routine.
The newly updated Davines LOVE SMOOTHING range has been developed for unruly, coarse, and frizzy hair types. The reformulated collection features regenerative Apple Pulp extract and includes innovative products such as:
- LOVE SMOOTHING Shampoo
- LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner
- LOVE SMOOTHING Lightweight Milk
- LOVE SMOOTHING Serum
Together, these products help smooth the hair cuticle, improve softness, reduce humidity-induced frizz, and leave the hair looking sleek without feeling heavy.
Don't Forget Your Styling Routine
The way you style your hair can have a huge impact on frizz levels.
A few simple changes can help:
- Avoid excessively hot water when washing your hair
- Use a microfibre towel or soft cotton T-shirt to dry hair
- Apply leave-in products before blow drying
- Avoid overusing heat styling tools
- Use products designed to protect and smooth the hair
For curly and wavy hair, the Davines LOVE CURL range can also help improve definition while reducing unwanted frizz and maintaining natural movement.
Frizz And Humidity
Humidity is one of the biggest triggers for frizz, especially during spring and summer.
Products that create a protective barrier around the hair can help prevent excess moisture from entering the hair shaft. This is where leave-in treatments such as the LOVE SMOOTHING Lightweight Milk can be particularly beneficial, helping hair stay smoother for longer.
Healthy Hair Is Less Frizzy Hair
Ultimately, frizz is often a sign that your hair needs more care rather than more styling.
By focusing on hydration, using targeted products, and choosing professional haircare suited to your hair type, you can significantly improve smoothness, shine, and manageability.
The goal isn't to fight your hair — it's to support it with products that help it look and feel its best.
