 Trini girl natural. Hi everyone. Welcome to my channel I got a request to do a video on avoiding frizz in the summer So I'm here to do that. So if you want to know how to reduce frizz in the summer stay tuned But before I get to the video, make sure you subscribe for more great content like this And to support your youtuber so definitely subscribe and click on the notification bell so you can get more fun educational information and entertainment Yeah Okay, so now on to the video. Let's frizz. Yay! Big hair in the summer, big hair don't care It's my favorite time to just let it all To just let it all flow basically, but I want that to be a choice I'm not a necessity and for some people Summary's just a time when they just can't get their hair to act The way it normally does the rest of the year and to act the way that they want it to So I'm coming on to give you my tips on how I reduce frizz in the summer So first we have to cover the basics of course make sure to have product build up Make sure your hair is clean and moisturized and all of that Make sure you have your trims because split ends are also very dry and will dry out and cause frizz So those are the basics, but sometimes you're doing one of that and you still have frizz and you're wondering why So one of the main culprits for frizz in the summer is your products So definitely check your ingredients and make sure your products don't have glycerin too high up Glycerin can work for some people, but based on your porosity and the product formulation You can also get a lot of frizz with glycerin So it's just one to be careful with and one to probably try doing without If you use a lot of glycerin and you have frizz So glycerin's orbital any of those synthetic humectants Because they take moisture from the air in the warm months and too much moisture can cause your hair to Revolt or lose its set style which we call frizz So it's not always the case exactly I just used the caravada recently and I have a lot of glycerin in both products both the gel and the leaving spray I had a lot of glycerin, but my hair was still pretty moisturized and defined. So there are caveats and it's not like a hard and fast rule It is based on the product formulation as well as your porosity. I'm very low porosity. So Glycerin unless I'm in Trinidad unless I'm in the Caribbean like even like DC humidity isn't enough to like Make things super crazy for me with glycerin if I also use oils and other things to help block the frizz A lot of my products, especially if you look at my winter stash videos Most of those products don't have glycerin at least the stylus which is what we're concerned about because glycerin in your Wash deep conditioning and conditioning you're insing out But glycerin in your stylus is the ones that you walk out and to the air with and can cause frizz If you want some suggestions on products that don't have glycerin check out my winter stash videos Now the thing to talk about when talking about frizz is oils and butters So oils and butters as you know can help to seal your hair seal the cuticle not Mechanically lower them, but just kind of club them temporarily and prevent moisture loss and also limit moisture entry So oils and butters are things you can also play with for frizz I'm not even saying just add more oils and butters like you have to know your hair You know the weather outside because as I've always said you don't want your hair to be oily, but dry. So if you are putting oils and Going out into the heat and your hair is like losing the moisture But still oily and you can't get more moisture in it's gonna frizz out as well so some people might need to use fewer oils actually in the summer and Some people might need to use more those who don't use oils at all might see their hair drying out and Getting frizzy before you have a chance to address it Especially if you're doing styles like twist them So where you'd have to moisturize and probably retwist to keep the frizz at bay if you're doing a wash and go You don't use oils. You might be able to get away with like spritzing it and Recovering the moisture that way before it frizzes out But if you're doing like a braid out or twist out if you moisturize it You may probably have to twist it back So in those cases you might want to add a little bit of oil Just a little bit so that it doesn't dry out before you can address it I like to wash once a week so I like my hair to last a week Which means you know working that day today and I do want to eventually show you guys a day a week in the life I mean if you follow me on Instagram You see my week in the life often because I usually try to update you guys as the week progresses But I do want to do a YouTube video on that but anyways staying on topic going back to your ingredients Adding a little bit of a whole product like a gel might also help you reduce frizz So I tend to use gels a lot that's not keeping my hair for the whole week But if I'm not using gel I expect usually to have bigger hair and when I say gel I mean Actual gel cream gel or just a cream with the whole ingredient You saw my ingredients video a cream with like xantham gum or Cobbler or something like that to help give it a bit of holes So that can definitely also reduce your frizz So the other tip I can give you is to just define your hair more so I didn't do that with this one I just did my regular and I think I probably even did less, but I use a heavy gel. I like the heavy gels really lay me out so Define your hair more meaning if you twist maybe do smaller twists as I said add some gelling ingredient Maybe do slightly tighter twist if you don't already twist too tight because some people twist too tight I'm gonna break it but if you twist loosely you might want to do it slightly tighter If you do wash and doze you might want to do smaller sections or if you're about that shanglin life You can go for it those things will also have to reduce frizz because they increase the definition So your hair can last longer before it frizzes out. This isn't a dear one I wanted to come on with it slept on wet out on party done and stuff just so you can see what it looks like After some time and I will show you guys this wash day so you can take a look at how I achieved it, but Basically, I use products without blistering I did use my oils and I did use a heavy gel to help to keep my hair set and not frizz out I start off with deep conditioning my hairs are always doing in four sections I'm feeling myself because I've asked you to do deep conditioner was so good. I just left it in for five minutes So my hair was like crazy amazing But anyway, I rinse that out and just do my usual wash and go you know apply my leave in When I'm using a heavy gel, I put like a butter in there So that's the butter and then I usually put oil before the gel to minimize flakes So I do that Then add my gel my ass is really thick so one since I do four sections I just put product all around then work it through and then again if I'm using a heavy gel I put oil over it and that's to reduce the crunch My usual reeking and smoothing So I finished everything but the last section. I just do this last section just like I did the first one Yeah, yeah, look at it check it out. Oh Okay girl time to rinse I was enjoying that a little too much Let's rinse it out now And the rest is pretty much just what you saw in the first section Pascom bloom definitely a winner My hair is moisturized and defined Of course, I love this frizz was leaving as well. You all know that lots of moisture crazy slip I love like all the products that I use there. So Except like, you know, I'm not a big car bomber gel person But I endure it every now and again for a higher purpose like frizz and stuff like that Or just to change my look up We feel like lighter moisturizing gels. Oh, it's mostly my typical wash and go. There's nothing special for the frizz The only thing I do different is do a heavy gel and kind of do everything that goes with that So when I say a heavy gel, I mean like a gel with carbama or hydroxylethyl cellulose or one of those synthetic arm gelling agents and then I do my shake shake shake and That's it. This is the final kind of wet result and then I let it dry and it dries to what you see in the rest of the video So that's basically it. I did put oil over the gel in this wash and go. So that could potentially help reduce frizz I'm not 100% sure. I just do it whenever I'm using a stronghold gel which also uses frizz It's hard to tell but I do that to help to reduce the crunch and cast. I don't have my hair I don't have much cast at all. So yay for that. Well, that's something else you might want to try I don't know just giving you like a full disclosure So, yeah That's it. That's how I get frizz free here in the summer It's hot outside and my hair is not frizzy and I guess yay for that. So I kind of made to get back to my big hair Probably next week. I want to maybe do a curls and push-ups video and just use the cream and see what happens But I'm enduring my kind of flat hair for the week for you guys, but back to summer big hair don't care next week So that's it.
