We’ve all been there: you spend time getting your hair smooth, sleek and looking chef’s kiss … and then the moment you step outside — boom. Instant frizz.

Here’s the truth: frizz isn’t your enemy. It’s a signal. It’s your hair telling you it’s thirsty, exposed, or unprotected from the environment. But once you understand why it happens — and exactly what to do about it — you can take back control.

Below is your simple, practical, step-by-step guide to stopping frizz before it starts.

So, Why Does My Hair Go Frizzy As Soon As I Leave the House?

The 8 Reasons — and Exactly How to Fix Each One

1. Your Hair Is Dry and Trying to Absorb Moisture From the Air

Frizz = hair absorbing humidity because it’s dehydrated.
When hair lacks moisture, the cuticle opens… and humidity rushes in.

FIX IT:

• Choose a hydrating shampoo + conditioner (not clarifying daily).

  • Try: Davines NOUNOU (for dry/damaged hair) or Wella System Professional Hydrate.

• Apply a leave-in conditioner every time you wash.

• Lock in moisture with a lightweight oil or serum.

2. You’re Missing a Heat Protectant (This One Is BIG)

Heat swells and weakens the cuticle. A damaged cuticle = guaranteed frizz.

FIX IT:

• Use heat protection every single time you use styling tools.

  • Try: ghd Heat Protect Spray

• Keep hot tools at 180°C max unless absolutely necessary.

• Let each section cool before touching — this seals the cuticle.

3. You’re Styling Wet or Damp Hair

If hair isn’t completely dry, the cuticle hasn’t sealed — so moisture slips in the second you go outside.

FIX IT:

• Rough-dry your hair 80% before styling.

• Use a quality blow-drying brush or hairdryer that smooths as it dries.

  • Try: ghd Helios for a frizz-free, smooth blow-dry.

4. The Air Around You Is Humid — and Your Hair Isn't Protected

Humidity is the #1 frizz trigger. Without a barrier, your hair will swell instantly.

FIX IT:

• Apply an anti-humidity finishing product as your final step.

  • Try: Paul Mitchel Super Skinny Serum or Davines This Is A Blow Dry Primer

5. You’re Over-Washing (Which Strips Natural Oils)

Stripped hair = dry hair = frizz magnet.

FIX IT:

• Aim to wash every 2–3 days.

• Use a moisture-rich mask weekly.

  • Try: Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector 

6. You’re Using the Wrong Towel (Yes, Really)

Cotton towels rough up the cuticle. A damaged cuticle = instant frizz.

FIX IT:

• Swap to a microfibre towel or cotton T-shirt.

• Gently squeeze — don’t rub.

7. You’re Brushing Dry, Curly or Wavy Hair

This creates friction and breaks curl clumps, causing halo frizz.

FIX IT:

• Apply a leave-in + brush only when wet.

• Refresh curls with a lightweight moisture mist.

  • Try: Davines LOVE Curl Revitaliser.

8. You’re Not Sealing Your Style Properly

Hair needs a finishing layer to stay sleek when you leave the house.

FIX IT:

• Smooth a serum through mids and ends right before going outside.

• Finish with a humidity shield spray.

Perfect finishing combo:

• Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil (weightless shine + frizz control)

• Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum
