Nearly everyone can escape dryness, split ends, and just about any hair problems, but frizz? It's everyone's struggle. You may have gotten control of it today, but the next day, it's a different story. This is why anti frizz hair products should be used regularly and not as an occasional treatment like a keratin treatment.
Why Frizz Happens?
You probably remember having smooth hair indoors, and within less than 5 minutes, it's puffing up outdoors. It's not just annoying, it feels like a battle you lost without even fighting. The right arsenal of frizzy hair products gives you control.
Usually, hair frizzes when the cuticle lifts, allowing moisture from the air to enter. The cuticle is the outermost layer of your hair. This lift is mostly caused by:
-
Humidity: Dubai's coastal breeze is just enough to lift the cuticle without trying too hard. Sadly, frizz loves uninvited moisture.
-
Heat Styling: You see why we caution against overusing styling tools? It's so your hair is not rough and unruly after a session.
-
Chemicals: Chemical treatments like colouring and perming can make hair more porous and prone to frizz.
-
Improper Care: It's not enough to have a shampoo and conditioner. Do they tackle the things that cause frizz? These are valid concerns to consider before choosing a shampoo and conditioner.
How you wash your hair, dry your hair, layer products and how you do everything hair care matters a lot. The trick is to finally know how to handle frizz even before it shows up. However, some hair types and textures are more prone to frizz than others, and wouldn't behave even in favourable weather conditions.
If your hair is textured, such as curly or coily hair, you can be sure that the reason your hair is always frizzy is your hair type. Like textured hair that holds little moisture, the tendency for frizzing is high.
How to Fix Frizzy Hair
When you know what's causing frizz for you, finding the solution is easier. It could be your hair type, however, you can't change it, but you can use products that work with it.
Start in the Shower
The foundation of any frizz control treatment is to start in the shower. An anti frizz shampoo is the hero product that kicks off a frizzy hair care routine. Before now, you may have been loading silicones on your hair and that weighs the hair down. You don't need your hair coated, you need the cuticle sealed. If your frizz is a result of hair type, then utilise the shower.
Begin by looking for a shampoo that is infused with oils like argan, jojoba and coconut that helps moisturise each strand. But, hey, be sure that it is also sulphate-free. Using products that contain sulphates and other harsh ingredients is counterproductive. You're in luck, GK Hair has an Anti Frizz Collection that tackles frizz before it even knocks, and a moisturising shampoo is one of them.
Condition Like You Mean It
After washing is all done, follow up with a hydrating conditioner. The main reason your hair is frizzy is because it's not well moisturised. So, ensure to use GK Hair's Moisturizing Conditioner after shampooing. It's one of the best anti frizz hair products that is packed with hydrating ingredients such as aloe vera.
Even at that, conditioning using a daily moisturising conditioner isn't enough. No one wants a hair that screams gorgeousness this minute and by the next minute, it’s a head of pesky and frizzy strands. Do a weekly deep conditioning to give your hair the love and care it deserves against frizz. That's the best way to keep frizz at bay.

Serum Gives You More Control
You're probably still stuck with frizz because you stop your daily routine at conditioning. A serum for frizzy hair helps create a protective barrier against humidity. Serums are the secret agent your hair didn't know it needed. Be sure you're using something lightweight, though, so it coats lightly while still protecting. You want something that defies humidity, not act in favour of it.
How to Use: It's not just about products, every step counts in giving you the result that you want.
Apply a small amount to damp hair but focus it on the midlengths down to the ends. Applying the serum on your roots will make it greasy. If you want hair growth, then go for a growth serum that allows root application.
Work a few drops of the serum into your hair before styling or whenever you notice frizz starting to creep in. A good serum like GK Hair Argan Oil Serum helps smooth the surface of the hair, adds softness, and keeps strands looking polished without feeling heavy. The light silicone layer it leaves behind is safe, the oil it provides keeps your hair feeling cared for, and the love is genuine.
Select the Right Fabric
Hair care doesn't stop at your products; even the towel you dab on your hair and pillowcase matters too. Microfibre towels are made of synthetic polymer, which makes them absorb moisture faster than a typical towel. This characteristic removes excess water from your hair without pulling oils along with it. Rough towels cause friction and lift cuticles, but microfibre or cotton materials press gently. Similarly, it's preferable to choose satin or silk pillowcases so that you don't wake up to frizz.
Do Your Overnight Care
We bet you didn't know this mattered: but a nighttime routine is a luxurious way of keeping your hair frizz free. Overnight treatment may seem unnecessary because, hey, who's watching your hair while you sleep? Well, a night is a long enough period to tackle frizz. If you have textured hair, use a mask that's infused with coconut oil and other botanical plant extracts.
How to Dry Your Hair the Right Way
As simple as this task may seem, nothing rubs on your cuticle the wrong way quite like how you dry your hair.
1. Air Dry, Don't Blow Dry
After applying your conditioner, let your hair dry naturally. It is not enough to ditch the blow dryer and air dry instead. You may even ditch the blow dryer and other hot tools, yet your hair may still be frizzy. The right way to dry your hair is to air dry.
Well, you could rough dry up to 80-90% before concluding with a blow dryer. That way, your hair is exposed to less heat and you can style safely.
2. Apply a Heat Protectant
If you'll air dry first before blow drying, apply a heat protectant cream before. This protectant will act as a shield from high temperatures and heat damage.
3. Don't Brush Your Hair When It Is Wet
It is not a good time to brush it when it's dry. If you just washed, drain excess water and if it is previously washed, dampen it with a smoothing cream like GK Hair's Cashmere Cream or with a conditioner.
Wrap Up
If frizz has been your hair’s personality trait for too long, then make anti frizz hair products its love language. Remember that hair frizzes when it's searching for moisture. This season, get your shampoo, conditioner, serum and cream from a trusted line. GK Hair is at your beck and call. Once you have them, you don't need more products; you need to stick to the right combination.
