Bad hair days – we all have them. But instead of running to the salon for a pricey blow out or spending the day cowering under a hat, learn to fix troubling hair happenstances with these products and tips for hair’s your most daunting hair traumas.

Problem: Frizzy hair

Regardless of whether your hair is naturally frizzy or just sensitive to humidity and rain, unruly frizzies are a sign that your hair is porous – when hair is thirsty, it will drink up the moisture from the air causing it to fluff out. One way to tame frizz is to use a flat iron to smooth cuticles, but heat styling can make dry hair worse. Another quick fix is run a smoothing cream through damp to give it definition and a bit of moisture. Try Oscar Blandi Jasmine Hair Serum, a weightless hair oil that instantly adds long-lasting shine and frizz control to unruly hair.

Problem: Split ends

While the only true fix for split ends is a haircut, there are plenty of ways to prevent them from happening. Split ends are caused by moisture loss, often the result of heat styling and environmental damage. They are more common in warmer weather, as the extra heat can cause additional dryness. Getting a trim every six to eight weeks can help curb splitting and strand breakage, as will not using vented brushes with plastic bristles, skipping daily shampoos, deep conditioning twice a week and using a leave-in conditioner to protect hair from heat styling. Try Hair Rules Nourishment Leave In Conditioner, which quenches porous hair while shielding locks from heat styling.

Problem: Limp, oily strands

Excess oil along with styling product residue can weigh hair down and make it look limp and flat. Heat styling can actually cause oil production to increase, since our bodies produce more sebum as heat levels increase. Use a clarifying shampoo can help remove oil and buildup – for best results, massage it into the roots of the hair and leave on for three minutes. Using a dry shampoo in between washes can also help reduce the appearance of oil. Try Apivita Propoline Balancing Shampoo, which clarifies hair while regulating sebum production, or Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo, which absorbs oil, dirt and grease without water.

Problem: Dry, dull hair

Sun exposure, chemical processes, dying and styling can leave tresses tired, dry and damaged. To combat this dryness, weekly deep conditioners are a must to replenish lost moisture and nourish hair. Also, skipping a shampoo or two can help keep hair hydrated, as shampoos are often a drying culprit. Look for protein-rich conditioners that contain hydrating botanicals such as Rice Milk, Wheat Proteins and Nut Extracts. Try Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment which deeply nourishes and repairs hair with highly concentrated Ojon oil from the Western Honduran rainforest.
