amongst people, especially the ones that were born with naturally curly hair or
naturally wavy hair. But you can also give yourself
the frizzies just by doing things wrong in your daily routine. So in this video,
I'm actually gonna show you three DIY conditioners that you can actually
make yourself to help reduce the frizz. And also I'm going to include some
easy tips at the end of the video.
Just little things you can maybe change in
your daily routine to help reduce frizz as well because you might actually be
causing it and not even know it. So, let's get started. Okay.
The very first recipe is one of my favorites of all time. And here's all you need.
You need limes, like one,
maybe two and one can of coconut milk. You can find coconut milk like,
in the grocery store. It's pretty much everywhere,
it's not that hard to find. Also empty containers, save these
because these can hold the excess, you know, hair mess that's
left over once you're done.
So, I'm gonna use my empty Nutella
container, and I washed it out and stuff like that and
made it nice and pretty. And then, with your coconut milk you want
to dump the entire can of coconut milk, as gracefully as I did,
into the container. Then, you need lime juice, and I recommend
getting your lime juice from actual limes. But, like, if you can't,
then I guess you can use the bottled lime juice as well and, if you can't get
either, then you can use lemon juice.
But it calls for one lime, and you need about four to five spoon fulls
of the lime juice inside of this mixture. Okay, so,
now you're probably wondering why. Why these two? Why this relationship? And that's because coconut milk
actually benefits the hair in so many different ways. It's really, really good for
your hair and skin.
And lime juice is really good for
your hair as well, but when you mix the two together,
it can tame the hair, actually. But not only does it tame the hair, but
it's also really good for hair loss. So if you're having trouble with,
you know, maybe too much shedding or, you know, hair growth,
try applying it to your scalp. So now you want to completely
saturate your hair with this mask, and I just split my hair into sections and
did it that way.
And then just pin it up. And I put a plastic baggie over my head
because if you notice it's really, really runny. And you can thicken it up with
some corn starch if you want to. But I didn't really mind,
I just decided to wrap it up instead, and then you want to let it sit.
Now you can actually let it sit overnight
depending on how frizzy your hair is, or you can just leave it in for
like an hour, but at least an hour. Then, you just wanna go ahead and shampoo
and condition like you normally would and style, and there's no chemicals or
anything like that. So you don't have to worry
about it like damaging your hair if your hair is already damaged. And then just throw the rest away.
Okay.
So now for the second recipe. And this one is actually really easy. All that you need is plain yogurt,
no sugar, no berries on the bottom,
and honey, my favorite. I love honey so much.
And these two are another perfect
match for reducing frizz. Now the honey is for moisture. And the yogurt is actually for
the smoothing. The lactic acid in the yogurt is what's
gonna smooth down your hair's cuticle.
So if you want more moisture,
then add more honey and vice versa. So, I just, I did like half and half. But it's up to you how much you wanna add. And then once you have completely
saturated your hair with the mixture, you have to let it sit, but you don't want
to let it sit for longer than two hours.
But you also want to try to keep it in for
like at least 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Then afterwards you want to go ahead and
shampoo and condition it out and style your hair like you normally would. Okay, now for the third one. This one is also really, really easy.
All that you need is basically
your daily conditioner and some extra virgin olive oil. And all that you want to do is just
in a separate container, take and add some conditioner to like,
a jar for instance. And then just add a little
bit of olive oil. Not too much or
else your hair will come out really, really greasy looking and oily.
I just added like half a cap
full to my little mixture. And then, what you wanna do is
just shampoo your hair, and then replace your everyday conditioner
with this mixture instead. Maybe like once or twice a week,
depending on how much your hair needs it. And then afterwards, just rinse.
And the reason why you're adding
olive oil to it is because olive oil is just a natural frizz reducer,
and it removes static as well. Okay, so that's actually it for
all of the DIY conditioners and now for the easy tips. These are just things that you can do
every single day also on top of these masks to help reduce frizz. The first one, avoid damage like heat,
anything that's gonna break your hair.
Tugging at your hair with the wrong brush,
et cetera, because the more breakage you have,
the frizzier that your hair looks. So even if you weren't born with frizzy
hair, make sure that you still take care of it because you can end up turning
it into frizzy looking hair. The next tip, if you have like a lot
of frizz and really want to reduce it, then try not using
a towel to dry your hair. Try using like a t-shirt.
This way it leaves some extra moisture,
and your hair won't look dry and frizzy. The next tip,
re-wet your hair after you comb it out. When you get out of the shower, I
literally swear by this rule, because yes, we have to, you know, detangle our
hair when we get out of the shower. But, after you de-tangle your hair, re-wet it in the sink or
with whatever you want to.
Because what it's gonna do is
clump your hair all back together. And then just like, kind of, you know, pat
it dry, and then when it does fully dry, it's going to be like, frizz-free and
everything you could ever dream of. The last tip is to always
rinse with cold water. And it seems like a really repetitive tip,
but it's actually really important.
And this is why. Because when we're in the shower
the heat opens up our cuticles. And it's so
happy because we're just, you know, putting lots of moisture into it and
conditioner. And then we just get out of the shower,
and our cuticles are still open.
And then we start drying it, and we just kind of suck all
the moisture back out of it. And then, it gets cool, and then the cuticles close without all that
moisture in it that could have been in it, if you would have rinsed your hair out
with cold water before exiting the shower. So, that's it for today's video. Hope that you guys like it,
hope that it helped.
