We all dream of smooth and shiny locks. Sometimes, however, they require more attention and appropriate care methods. Frizzy hair is a nuisance that affects many women. Rough and unruly strands can be difficult to manage.
This issue is often caused by high-porosity hair, which is characterized by widely opened cuticles, which lead to frizz and styling challenges.
A simple aluminum foil trick
Beauty expert Sarah Jossel demonstrated a simple method to tame frizzy hair using aluminum foil on the "This Morning" show. She claims that expensive products aren't necessary to achieve satisfying results. The method was first shared by Instagrammer Laila Högfeldt, who was thrilled with the results.
The method involves gently wrapping the hair with the matte side of the foil and sliding it along the entire length of the strands. As a result, the hair becomes incredibly soft and smooth. This effect is due to the neutralization of electric charges that cause frizz. Aluminum foil emits negative charges that counteract the positive charges on the hair, reducing roughness and leaving the hair pleasantly smooth.
Alternative hair care methods
Although aluminum foil works wonders, it's worth taking care of your hair daily. Getting hold of the right products is essential, especially if you want long-lasting, smooth strands.
Determining your hair's porosity is important, and it can be tested by dipping a strand in water. High-porosity hair requires specialized care using emollient and protein conditioners. Moisturizing products will also be helpful.
