If you\u2019re wondering why so many of us deal with unwanted frizz, here\u2019s what a scientist would tell you: Frizzing is due to a reconfiguration of the hydrogen bonds within the hair. Hydrogen bonds occur when molecules on keratin strands each form a weak attraction with the same water molecule, thereby indirectly bonding the two keratin proteins together.<\/p>
Humid air has way more water molecules than dry air, so a strand of hair on a humid day will form many more hydrogen bonds. The result is the hair folding itself back. So curly hair<\/a> gets curlier and loses its definition, and any damage\u2014split ends, breakage, etc.\u2014will become more apparent. This effect is exacerbated by humid days, a sweat session at the gym, or even going out dancing. But fear not, with the right frizz fighting techniques, tools and ingredients, you can avoid any unwanted frizz.\u00a0<\/p> Unwanted frizz and flyaways are inevitable for hair that\u2019s even the slightest bit dry or damaged. So the first step to fighting it is giving your hair exactly what it needs\u2014dry hair<\/a> craves moisture and damaged hair needs ingredients that repair and strengthen it. Argan oil is specifically called out for its moisturizing properties in an article in the International Journal of Trichology (that\u2019s the science of hair and scalp). It was found that increasing the moisture content of hair \u201cimproves the conductivity of the hair and neutralizes the static charge\u201d\u2014in other words, hair is less frizzy and prone to flyaways when argan oil is applied. It also states that lubricating the cuticle with argan oil helps stop the absorption of water molecules and prevents split ends, all while adding shine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStart in the shower<\/h2>
