How To Fix Frizzy Wavy Hair — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00If you have wavy hair and it looks good
2. 0:01for about 20 minutes, then slowly turns
3. 0:04into frizz and loses all of its
4. 0:06structure, it is not your hair type. It
5. 0:08is your routine. Most guys with wavy
6. 0:11hair are making one to two small
7. 0:13technical mistakes, usually during
8. 0:15drying or product application, that
9. 0:17completely break the wave pattern before
10. 0:20it even has a chance to set. Fix those
11. 0:22and your hair won't just look better, it
12. 0:24will behave differently. So, first I
13. 0:26want to explain to you why wavy hair
14. 0:29actually gets frizzy in the first place.
15. 0:31Wavy hair starts to frizz for three
16. 0:33simple reasons. One, you are disrupting
17. 0:35the wave pattern while you're drying.
18. 0:37Two, you're using the wrong type or
19. 0:39amount of hair product. And then three,
20. 0:42you're not setting the structure
21. 0:43properly. That's it. Wavy hair sits in
22. 0:45the middle and it doesn't have the tight
23. 0:47structure of curly hair. So, it's
24. 0:49structurally unstable. If you don't
25. 0:51deliberately guide it into shape, it
26. 0:54will expand. And that expansion is what
27. 0:57you see as frizz. So, step one to fix
28. 1:00your frizzy hair is you need to fix how
29. 1:02you dry it. If you are aggressively
30. 1:05towel drying your hair, you're
31. 1:06disrupting the wave pattern before it
32. 1:08even has a chance to set. Wavy hair is
33. 1:10most vulnerable when it's wet. So, when
34. 1:12you rub it aggressively with a towel,
35. 1:14you separate the natural clumps that
36. 1:16give it definition. So, what you need to
37. 1:18start doing instead is gently pat or
38. 1:20squeeze dry with a microfiber towel or
39. 1:23if you're too lazy to buy that on
40. 1:25Amazon, just use an old soft cotton
41. 1:27t-shirt you have. The goal here isn't to
42. 1:29remove every drop of water from your
43. 1:31hair, it is to preserve the structure.
44. 1:33If you protect the wave pattern at this
45. 1:35stage, you have already reduced a huge
46. 1:38percentage of your future frizz. Step
47. 1:40two is controlled blow drying. So, most
48. 1:43guys will either A, skip blow drying
49. 1:45completely or B, use high heat and
50. 1:49random air flow. Both will lead to
51. 1:51frizz. You need controlled direction.
52. 1:54So, what you're going to do instead is
53. 1:56use medium heat, low air flow, and a
54. 2:00nozzle attachment if you have one. Air
55. 2:02flow should guide the hair, not scatter
56. 2:04it. Push the hair in the direction you
57. 2:06want the waves to sit. You're shaping
58. 2:08structure here. You're not just drying
59. 2:10it. So, if you have fine wavy hair,
60. 2:13you're going to want to start at the
61. 2:15roots, then lift your hair slightly to
62. 2:18create some volume because volume is
63. 2:20created at the roots because if the
64. 2:22roots collapse, the ends will follow.
65. 2:25This stage will determine how your hair
66. 2:27behaves for the rest of the day. Step
67. 2:29three is to use the right type of
68. 2:31product. Product weight matters more
69. 2:33than product brand. If you use a heavy
70. 2:35pomade or too much cream, you're adding
71. 2:38way too much weight for hair that is
72. 2:40already structurally unstable. And
73. 2:42unnecessary weight collapses your waves.
74. 2:44So, what you want instead is a
75. 2:46lightweight, water-based, natural or
76. 2:49matte finish hair product. And you want
77. 2:51to start small. Warm the product up
78. 2:53fully in your hands, emulsify it, then
79. 2:55distribute evenly, not just on the
80. 2:57surface. Right? You're not trying to use
81. 2:59this as like a hairspray. You're not
82. 3:01trying to lock this in place. You're
83. 3:03trying to create light cohesion between
84. 3:05hair strands. Wavy hair holds shape when
85. 3:08it supports each other. Individually, a
86. 3:10single hair strand will fall. But when
87. 3:12multiple strands slightly bind together,
88. 3:15they maintain the structure all
89. 3:16throughout the day. And that is the
90. 3:18difference between frizz and definition.
91. 3:20Now, step four is to just leave your
92. 3:23hair alone. Once you have styled your
93. 3:25hair, stop adjusting it. Constantly
94. 3:27retouching or reshaping your hair will
95. 3:30break apart the wave clumps that you
96. 3:32just created. And once those clumps
97. 3:34separate, frizz will start to take over,
98. 3:36and wavy hair really needs time for it
99. 3:39to set. So, after you're done drying and
100. 3:41applying your hair product, just let it
101. 3:43settle into place. The more unstable it
102. 3:46becomes. Controlled input, minimal
103. 3:49interference. That's how you maintain
104. 3:51definition. Now, if you've done all
105. 3:53these steps and for some reason your
106. 3:54hair is still frizzy, I do have a bonus
107. 3:57step. The issue is most likely a
108. 4:00moisture balance. So, some common causes
109. 4:02of that is things like over washing your
110. 4:04hair, using a very harsh or stripping
111. 4:06shampoo, or you're not conditioning
112. 4:09properly. Wavy hair sits in between
113. 4:11straight and curly, which means it
114. 4:13doesn't distribute natural oils evenly,
115. 4:15which then makes it way more prone to
116. 4:17dryness. And dryness leads to expansion.
117. 4:20So, if your hair feels rough, stiff, or
118. 4:22overly puffy, even when it's fully dry,
119. 4:25that is not a styling issue, it is a
120. 4:27moisture issue. So, I'd highly recommend
121. 4:30you upgrade your conditioner and avoid
122. 4:32over cleansing. Healthy waves will hold
123. 4:35shape a lot more easy, while dry waves
124. 4:37you'll just be fighting with your hair
125. 4:39all day. So, if you fix how to dry your
126. 4:41hair, how you set structure with heat,
127. 4:43the weight of your product, how much you
128. 4:45touch it, your waves will stop expanding
129. 4:48and start holding shape. Wavy hair is
130. 4:50not unpredictable, it's technical. When
131. 4:53you understand how it starts to behave,
132. 4:56you will stop fighting it. And once you
133. 4:58stop fighting it, it will become one of
134. 5:00the most versatile hair types you can
135. 5:02work with. So, if you're someone with
136. 5:03wavy hair, comment something that you
137. 5:05have been struggling with and be
138. 5:07specific cuz I'll probably make a video
139. 5:08about it. And I read all the comments,
140. 5:10so let me know and I'll see you all in
141. 5:12the next one.
