its probably frizzy because of the humidity and stuff. if it seems dry, find a shampoo that helps dry and damaged hair. are you still blow drying your hair? let it air dry for awhile. even if you arent straightening it, the heat from the hair dryer can still damage your hair.

go to walmart or target and get what is called a hot oil treatment and use one every week. They work WONDERS. Also, i would recommend using a shampoo for dry and damaged hair.

I used to straighten my hair also. I tried the Redken products, and found that they really worked in controlling your frizz and making you hair softer and smoother.

you can buy shampoo that fixes your hair. i use "manage damage" but they are all pretty much the same

Hm. You're not straightening it.. But are you blow-drying it? Heat could be damaging your hair. Also, get a moisturising shampoo/hairconditioner. SUNSILK is the best. You should go to walmart.com and get a free sample of sunsilk to see which one fits you.

I suggest S-Factor Dream Drop. I got it @ Toni & Guy for $30. I'm not sure where else they sell it, but it works wonderfully. I'm sure there are cheaper anti-frizz products you can get at the grocery store. Anything by John Frieda or Paul Mitchell works decent & is still affordable.

Buy an anti-frizz product from a hair salon. I use john frieda frizz-eaze, or ANYTHING from the VO5 line SURPRISINGLY works well. Your hair is probably just recovering from all the damage that was done to it from your straightener. You can straighten your hair, just dont make it an every day thing, within a couple of months your hair will be fine.

Humidity frizzes your hair. If its hot and humid where you are that could be it. i use straightening serum to control my frizzes and flyaways! so im thinking it would solve your problem! hope i helped [:

Hair is made up of dead keratin, so it can't heal itself. Your best bet is to slowly cut off the dead ends and start fresh. But in the mean time there are ways to make your hair appear to be "healthier".

Hot oil treatments- I personally don't recommend them for one reason. The oil molecule is simply too large to penetrate the hair shaft. All they do is leave a layer of oil on the outer hair shaft which does result in smoother hair but give it a day and you'll see what I mean. Instead, use a cream based, deep conditioner 2 times a week.

Get regular trims every 6-8 weeks to trim off the spilt ends

Cut back on blow drying

When blow-drying, force the air in he direction of your hair growth so you don't disturb the cuticle anymore then you have to.

Use gentle cleansing shampoos

Use daily conditioners and even better, use a leave-in conditioner as well

Rinse with cool water as your final rinse to close the cuticle and prevent further damage.

Keep use of heating products to a minimum if possible. And always use a styling product that specifically protects hair during heat process.

Scalp treatments can do wonders. Ask your Stylist if she offers this service. Not only does it stimulate hair growth and condition your hair, it feels great!

Use products that don't contain alcohol

Deep condition at least 2 times a week. Apply the conditioner to clean, damp hair. Put a shower cap on and hit it with the blow dryer. This will open up the cuticle and condition your hair better.

Avoid shampoos that are clear in color. These shampoos are refereed to as plain shampoos. Plain shampoos contain little to no moisturizer. Opt for a pearlized one that is made for dry, damaged hair. Shampoo is important but no as much as conditioner

queenhearts answered Wednesday July 19 2006, 11:09 pm:
Because you used to do it almost every day... it damaged your hair.

You need to use a deep conditioner every week or every other week for a while.
Your hair will become healthly again and not so dry.

Maybe get it 'professionally' done?

I had to get my hair deep conditioned.
My hair came out really soft and nice.. and it wasn't frizzy. :]
