Thankfully, there are some ways to help smooth it back down again, and they'll leave you looking your best again. Ghanima Abdullah, a cosmetologist at therighthairstyles.com, says that certain hair types are more prone to frizz, but there are ways in which it can be tamed.

She said: "Dryness is the main cause of frizzy hair; however, fine hair is more prone to this issue. Dryness can happen because their natural sebum doesn't always reach down to the tips of the strands. "Any lack of moisture in the hair causes frizziness as the hair is then looking to absorb moisture from its environment.

So when it's humid outside, there is more moisture in the air. "Humid climates tend to make frizzier hair, as the atmospheric moisture exceeds that of your own hair."Frizzy hair is never fun to deal with, but there's one key thing that we must be doing in order to help minimise the problem - and that's keeping our locks hydrated.
