There’s nothing more annoying than spending a lot of time styling your hair to perfection just to have it come back to its frizziness and messiness once you stepped out of your house! It’s so frustrating!
Heat plus humidity can be harsh on your hairstyle which causes frizziness and crumpy hair. Even after you’ve diligently styled your hair with a blow dryer or straightening iron, it causes your hair to look messy again after a while.
Fortunately, there are products that can help keep your hair looking sleek, stylish, and smooth for hours.
What are the best products to keep hair straight after straightening?
Adding a post-styling hair product can make the difference in keeping your hair straight and smooth. These are serums, sprays, defrizzes, hair oil, and the like. But it all starts with a good shampoo and conditioner and choosing the right product that suits your hair. And here’s the best way to do it:
How can I keep my hair straight after straightening it?
With the right hair care routine and products, you will be able to keep your hair straight after styling it.
Start with the right shampoo and conditioner
To achieve a straight hairstyle, start with a shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type. You want to consider shampoo and conditioner that is going to encourage soft and glossy hair as this can help your straightener to glide through your hair.
Choose products that use natural ingredients that will help improve the health of your hair and counteract the damaging effects of heat such as breakages and frizzes.
Consider using aloe vera products because not only are they good for all types of hair, but they are also paraben-free and have a natural fragrance that will make your hair healthy.
Dry your hair properly
After washing your hair, stop yourself from using heat tools such as hair dryer or straightener right away. This will just damage your hair and cause more frizz than ever. To dry your properly:
- Make sure that your hair is completely dry before using your hair straightener.
- Dab your wet hair first with a towel rather than wrapping it or rubbing it harshly. These will only encourage frizz and won’t help if you want to keep your hair straight throughout the day.
- Make sure that you are constantly moving your hair dryer around your head instead of focusing it on one particular spot. This will help prevent damage and avoid giving your hair frizz.
- Be sure that you use a wide-toothed comb when drying your hair.
- Keep the setting low first when using your hair straightener or hairdryer to avoid frizz.
Opt-in Using Argan Oil
Unlike other natural oils that start to break down at 300 degrees or lower, Argan oil can withstand higher temperatures hence it is safe to use as a heat protectant. By using Argan oil, it will help prevent your hair from getting fried while using your straightening iron.
Choose 100% pure Argan Oil products instead of those that only include Argan oil as an ingredient. A pure Argan oil not only protects hair from heat but also has omega 6 and Vitamin E that prevents breakage and encourage smooth, healthy hair.
Use a Hair Serum
When you are done straightening your hair, apply a hair serum to keep it sleek and tidy. Hair serum can also be used as a styling agent that keeps the hair in place without weighing it down. Additionally, hair serum is rich in antioxidants which condition, provides extra boost, and help hair become nourished.
Try using a defrizzer
A defrizzer is like a leave-in conditioner that helps smoothen frizz and turns your dull hair become shiny without weighing it down. Most defrizzers have jojoba oil, coconut oil, and other essential oils that help in keeping hair healthy while keeping it straight and frizz-free all day.
High-quality hairspray
Another amazing product that keeps your hair straight is hairspray. After straightening your hair, you can apply a styling hairspray to keep it in place and shiny. Look for hairsprays that are gentle, has a lightweight formula, and are not sticky so that it will not weigh down your hair.
Hairspray is also one of the styling products that you should have especially when doing some touch-ups and styling your hair.
And finally, to make sure that you keep your hair in place all day, be sure to use a wide-tooth comb when you style and re-touch your hair. This will discourage hair breakage, flyaways, and also help tame frizz. If it is particularly windy during the day, do a loose ponytail to keep your hair in place and not get messy.
Having an umbrella at hand will also keep your hair prepared regardless of what weather condition is up for the day.
