How to naturally soften frizzy hair?

Dry by nature, frizzy hair has the unfortunate tendency to be rough to the touch and complicated to handle. Fortunately, there are many solutions to soften it naturally.  

If frizzy hair is so demanding, it is because it seriously lacks sebum. Sebum is a secretion of fatty matter produced by the sebaceous glands at the base of the scalp. It is a natural barrier that protects the hair scales and prevents water from evaporating. The problem with frizzy hair is that its spiral structure prevents sebum from spreading over the entire length.

Result: they are dry, rough and difficult to style. Good news however, it is possible to soften them naturally by not skimping on the hydration of the hair fiber and by nourishing it effectively.

Good to know: hydrosols or floral waters can also replace mineral water.

Above all, don't forget to seal everything to prevent evaporation! The ideal is to apply a butter, oil or nourishing cream.
