FRIZZY HAIR?
Smooth it with a coconut oil spritz
Sure, we blame humidity for causing frizz, but it’s a mere side effect of the real culprit: dehydrated hair.
“Dry, porous strands soak up any moisture they can to compensate for a lack of hydration, so come summer, they’re grabbing at all the humidity in the air,” says Mike Petrizzi, hairstylist at the Chris Chase salon in New York City. “And all that excess water swells locks, resulting in a frizzy mess.” Get to the root of the problem with a coconut oil leave-in. Packed with nourishing fatty acids, coconut oil penetrates and hydrates the hair shaft so it doesn’t seek out moisture, plus it seals the cuticle so it won’t absorb more than it needs.
TO DO: In a spray bottle, mix 1 cup of water, 2 Tbs. of liquefied coconut oil and 1 Tbs. of aloe vera gel
(an emollient); shake to combine. Mist onto wet or damp hair prior to styling.
