They say your 20s are the peak years when everything should be going great, but sometimes, the vibes just aren’t vibing. And for many of us, the one struggle that seems to defy this ‘optimal’ phase is dry, frizzy hair. 

The 20s are a time when life is fast-paced and experimental. Especially when it comes to your hair. From fiery reds to regrettable curtain bangs, your hair goes through it all. And frizz? It barges into your life when hair care/beauty routines are as fast-moving and disposable as the lifestyle.  If you’ve ever battled with frustrating flyaways and unnecessary frizz halos, you’re not alone. We get it. Like you, we want a long-term relationship with our hair, not an eternal situationship featuring Frizz as a supporting character. 

To tackle frizz, we need the “hows”, not the “whys”. Here’s the deal: In India, frizz is a year-round problem, especially during the dry and humid seasons. Humidity is the ultimate frizz-friendly villain. When the air is packed with moisture, it gets into your hair, messing with the bonds that keep it smooth and leaving you in a frizzy mess. On the flip side, dry winter air can zap your hair of moisture, leaving it static and frizzy. 

Let’s straighten that frizz up. We have five tips for nipping that frizz behind your ear and managing the menace. 

1. Smooth, Shine, Repeat.

    Now that we know why frizz occurs, finding a suitable shampoo and conditioner duo is important. The shampoo restores PH balance, smoothens, and gives shine to hair, while the conditioner moisturises the hair shaft and manages frizz. A dream team, right? 

2.  Super Serum, Superb Hair.

A good serum will act as a booster to reduce frizz. Arata’s Super Serum is packed with amazing oils that are essential for your hair and antioxidants to reduce frizz and breakage. Lock the Serum in your hair-care regimen and watch your frizz leave the room.

3. Bye-Bye Flyaways. 

Flyaways can be hard to avoid, but Arata’s Hair-Fix Stick makes managing them a breeze. Infused with biotin and jojoba oil, it manages frizz without leaving your hair greasy or oily, giving you a sleek, polished look all day. Sometimes, the simplest hacks are the best.

4. Leave In, Step out.

Yes, applying a leave-in conditioner may seem like a hassle, but it’s worth the effort. It drenches your lengths and ends in nourishing, moisturising ingredients that keep flyaways and baby hairs in check all day. Just be sure to choose one packed with the right ingredients like Aloe Vera, Abyssinian Seed Oil, and Sodium PCA  for the best results. 

5. Check Your Diet, Love.

Seems like a stretch, but your diet can be one of the biggest contributors to frizz. Lack of vitamins, proteins, and hydration is your holy trinity of frizzy demise. So drink up, eat well, and get some sun. It will help. We all forget to drink water sometimes; it's perfectly fine!

6. Accessorise, Accessorise and Accessorise. 

Using scrunchies and satin caps are two of the best tricks for managing frizz, as they minimise friction and prevent hair from tangling. Not only are they effective, but they also look super cute.

Tying it all together. 

Yes, having frizzy and dry hair is a problem. But with a little love, some hope, and community support, it is totally conquerable. Try these tips and watch that frizz, fizzle out. We’re here for you.  Because... In the club, we’re all fam.
