Most people don't know how to shampoo their hair correctly. Do you? Here are some great tips on how to avoid having frizzy hair.

How to get rid of frizzy hair

Start with Shampooing your hair

Most people just get their hair damp and then add the shampoo. It should be called Rinse, Rinse, Rinse first, then apply shampoo. Rinsing the hair well will get most of the dirt and styling products out, plus your hair will be really wet so you will use less shampoo.

After the shampoo is applied work it through your hair in a downward motion. Start at the scalp and work it toward the ends. Never rough up the hair or mat it together. Now it"s time to rinse well.

Always use a conditioner

Remember its Shampoo the scalp and Condition the hair. Emulsify your conditioner in your hands first then apply to the hair, keeping it smooth.

Take a large tooth comb or pick and comb conditioner through the hair letting it set on for a few minutes. Rinse well. To add more shine and close the cuticle use a cooler rinse in the end.

Take a towel and just squeeze the water out

This is one of the "most" important things. Never ruff the hair up with a towel like you see on T.V. It raises the cuticle of the hair shaft and it's like ratting wet hair, leaving you with lots of little frizzies on the top layer of your hair.

Don't wrap your hair in a towel, either, as it will start to dry all pushed together and not smooth.

Use a pick or large tooth comb

After squeezing out the water, pick your hair out with a pick or large tooth comb. Comb in a downward motion. Now it's time to leave in the conditioner.

I know you're probably thinking--"it will weight my hair down or make it greasy."Not if you use the right products for your hair type. When using a leave-in conditioner, always keep it off the scalp and on the hair. Sprays are great for fine hair and shorter hair.

You'll need something heavier for thicker hair and course hair. The leave in conditioners help fill the hair shaft, making the hair less frizzy.

You will need to use some type of a smoothing serum, cream, mouse, etc. after the leave in conditioner. There are some great products that really work listed in our Product Review Guide, so make sure you get the one that is right for your hair and use it properly.

Let your hair air dry if you possibly can

The more you touch it and mess with it, the fuzzier it will get. If you have to dry it with a dryer use an Ion dryer. It dries hair faster and helps keep the cuticle down. Never bend upside down and dry your hair. This raises the cuticle and causes more frizz.

Dry your hair at the roots and not at the ends using a diffuser or sock on the end of your dryer.

Don't over dry your hair. Once your hair dry, you can pick it out from underneath. If you have natural curls or a perm don't pick completely through the ends. Leave them locked together.

Lift the hair on the top till you get the fullness you want

After you get the shape and style use a few drops of polishing serum. Silicone drops are better than oil spray or oil drops as they aren't as heavy. They might seem a little heavy at first but most dry and set within minutes. If you need a hair spray you can use it at this time. You're set to go.

You shouldn't mess with your hair during the day or it will start to get that disturbed look. If needed, you can add more sheen later. At the end of your day when you are ready to go to bed, put your hair up if it is long enough.

Sleeping on hair hanging down and tossing back and forth in your sleep really ruffs up the hair and causes a lot of the frizzys and breakage. Tying your hair back or pulling it up "loosely" with a scrunchy protects your hair. Sometimes it even looks good the next day when you take your hair down. It doesn't get as messed up and curls are still together.

A little misting and a few drops of polisher and you're ready to go again.
