Frizz: how to control your hair

Why is my hair frizzy?

Frizz has two main causes: lack of moisture and humidity. Instead of lying flat against the hair shaft, the cuticles on dry hair stand up. As a result, they no longer act as an effective barrier. This porosity makes hair vulnerable to humidity and other external factors. When hair absorbs moisture, it swells. This is when frizz can become a problem. Textured hair (curly and frizzy) is drier and more porous than straight hair. It is therefore more prone to frizz.

Frizz-taming boar bristle brush

It's the secret to frizz-free, beautiful, smooth, and shiny hair. The boar bristle brush works wonders on hair prone to frizz. And that's thanks to the fibrous structure of boar bristles, which not only captures sebum at the roots but also distributes it evenly to the ends. Used morning and night, the boar bristle brush moisturizes the hair fiber and flattens the cuticle to smooth hair and control flyaways. In fact, Altesse Studio bristle care brushes are proven to work, with 94% of our users saying they smooth hair and reduce frizz. The reward? Stronger and shinier hair every time you brush.

Tame frizz with specialized hair treatments

In addition to styling with a boar-bristle brush, you can also help control your hair with specialized anti-frizz treatments. But not just any old product. For optimal hair fiber care, we prefer natural products such as piqui vegetable oil. Its benefits? It deeply nourishes, softens hair, restores lightness, and helps lock in moisture. This makes it an invaluable ally for styling frizzy hair.

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase: the anti-frizz tip for more manageable hair in the morning

Silk has hidden benefits for keeping hair soft and silky, but above all for preventing frizz.

• It’s an exceptionally smooth material that reduces mechanical friction between your hair and the pillow. The result is less frizz, less breakage, and less tangling when you finally get out of bed.
• Unlike cotton or other materials, silk is non-absorbent. In other words, it doesn't absorb the hair's natural oils. It therefore helps keep hair hydrated overnight (and does the same for the skin!).
• Silk reduces static electricity, which also contributes to frizz. As a result, when you wake up in the morning, your hair will be smoother and more manageable.
